wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF

ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every Prov
sion it contains has been trampled upon boy
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor,
Sir William Blackstone has collaled ana
commented on this fine copy OF magma
Charta has been cxcelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes OF the seals and
sgnatur fshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, IN some de-
gree, not merely with the state OF knowledge
and of art al the periodin question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF klng John,
King Henry, and their Barons bold.
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and If the c-siniles OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as Iaudable as that
which calls tor limitations OF the correspoh-
dents of Juniuss or of the aris,ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration Of lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes Of the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause Of public ii.
berry Such an embelished edition as will
render it an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other;
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards.the subject. Such an edition will
serve TO place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a tamily-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itsei--and famiiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society
Nor is it of small moment that such an edi-
