THE
Declaration of independence

EXTE have no authentic copy OF this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satlsfac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provl-
| sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor. -
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented onNit-his fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
OF art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
sgnatu' sshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but WITH
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their " Barons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American hide
pendance is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations Of art as the Magma Charta of
England and it the fac-similes of the sig
natures Of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
iify a curiosity, at least as laudabe as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc
lant 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
ny 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 embellished edition as VIII
renderit 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 il continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a tanily-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
Transaction itseIi--and famiIiarize 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 edl-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
OF the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes TO publish
