ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTt, though every provi-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition ofther rulers, have pub

each more splendid than IT'S predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma

of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and

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 " Rarons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American indie
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta Of
England and il the fac SMILES of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were

tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the Correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aris'ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant 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

renderi All ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge of
its contents, among those who would other

towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
of man. woman, and child in a tamiIy-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas Of e!e-
gance and ornament with the history of the

principles which form, or ought to form, the
