THE
Of independence

WYE have no authentic copy OF tins most
wv 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 satlstac-
ton. Why have we not ?
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every prov-
sion IL contains has been trampled upon by
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has colated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens:
of art, and the fac.similes of the seals and
signatur fshave 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 g BarOns bold. >
Surely the Declaration Of American indie
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Cbarta OF
England andf the fac similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed 1t were
published in America, it would serve to g,ra-
| tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the arstocrAcy that
wrested the English Charter from the rsluc-
liant 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 il.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
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
towardsth the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in family--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas OF ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itsel-and familiarize those
| principles which form, OF ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpolitical society
| Nor is it OF small moment that such an edr-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
| of the state of the Fine Arts amongst US at
the present day Actusted by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
