Dear Sir have for tome time past been
threatening to write to you, to let you know
how well | am pleased with the Ruthyen
Press, improved and made by you ; but a
variety of circumstances have prevented it.
have had it in constant operation three
months during which time nearly all the
printers of this city, and a number of our
most ingeniou. mechanics, have called to ex-
anime it. They have pronounced it as com
plete in every respect, as any machinery
they have ever seen.
The following is the idea have of it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct
ed, on which more or better work can be
done in a given time.
The exertionof working it is no more than
healthy exercise for boy of Is years of age.

Declaration of independence

XIE have no authentic copy of this 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 CHARfA, though every progl-
sionit contains has been tranpled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
ished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predeoessor.-,
Sir William Blackstone has collated 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 sshave made every reader CT 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 BaEons bold"
Surely the Declaration OF American hide
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and ii the fac SMILES OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America. it would serve to gra-
iify curiosity, at least as laudab!e as that
which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the arstocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarcbs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles oil 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
berty. Such an embellished edition as will
render il an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge Of
IFS contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place ii continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a family--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itself-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 edit
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state OF the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day. Actuated by these views.
