THE
Declaration of Independence


WE have no authentic copy Of this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can resi-, for moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARFA, though every proyl-
sonit contains has been trampied 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 collated ana
commented on this fine copy OF magma
Chara has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-slniles of the seals and
signatu' eshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state or knowledge
and Of art at the period in question, but Wild
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their " Earons bold.
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England andii the fac-similes OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
lify 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 reuc-
,ant 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
10 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, VIII
have 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 tamily--lt
will associate the pleasurable ideas Of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itseli-and farniiarize 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 edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

variety of circumstances have prevented it..
have had it in constant operation three
months during which time nearly all the

most ingenious mechanics, have called TO ex-
anime it. They have pronounced il as COM
plete in every respect, as any machinery

No Printing Press has everbeen construct

done in given time.
