THE
declaration of independence.

sNTE have no authentic copy OF this most
Nv important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, OH which the eye oil
taste can rest, for a moment, with s~atisfac-
ton. Why have we not ?
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR Ia, though every proyl.
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition other rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor.-
Sir William Blackstone has collaied and
commented on this fine copy of Magma
| Charta has been exceiled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes 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
aud of art al The period in question, but with
the literary attainnents, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their " Barons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American hide
pendence is, at least, as well entitled 10 the
decorations OF art as the Magua Charta OF
England and if the fac-similes of the sig :
natures of the patriots VINO signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify a curiosity, at least as iaudable as that
which ~callsfor limitations OF the correspon-
dents Of Jnius or Of the aristocracy. that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles ofour Declaration of lndepen-
| ience are spread oat 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 H.
berty. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have a 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 10 place it 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 itseIf-and famiIiarize those
| principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpolitical society,"
Nor is it OF small moment that such an edit
ton, well executed, will serve as a specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
The present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
