THE
declaration of independence.

gETE have no authentic copy OF this a" st
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column Of American
liberty none, al least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with SatIsfac-
ton. Why have we not !
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARfA, though every proyi-
sion it contains has been tramped 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 col!ated and
commented on this hne copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-simiies OF the seals and
signatu' eshave 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 6 Barons bold. ;"
Surely the Declaration of American hide
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and it the fac-simiies of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify a curiosity, at least as laudabe as thai
which calls Tor limitations of the correspon-
dents Of Junius OF of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
ant monarchs of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles ofour Declaration of lndepen'
ence 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
10 attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause Of public H.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
lis 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
If man, woman, and child in faniIy-it
will associate the peasurable IDEAS of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of tie
transaction itself--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 edi-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
If the state of the Fine Arts amongst us al
! he present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

The committee would remark thatthey abb

is so very desirable, in consequence of that
duty having been assigned to other hands.
In closing their labours the committee de-
