The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHAR Ia, though every provl-
sion it contains has been trampled upon By
the bold ambition of their rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor,
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma

of art, and the fac-similes OF the seals and
signatu' sshave made every a OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art al the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their " Bsrons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American indie
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and il the fac-similes Of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were

tify a curiosity, at least as laudabIe as that
which calls tor limitations OF the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more

pearante of the students, Captain F. would
