Declaration Of independence.

-rl+i .ra. 4Hr Itr. stgt.. fS#-
YN1E have 10 authentic copy, OF this TiosI
w important stite paper, the very oasiS
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty /; none, at least, on which tue eye o.
taste can rest, for q moment, with sattsiac-
ton. Why have we not !.
The English ration, still proud OF tne!r
MAGMA CHARTA, though every Prov
sion il contains has been trarapleo upon ~
the bold ambition oftbeir rulers, have pup
lished edition after edition Of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessof.-,
Sir William Blackstone has coilated ana
commented on this fine copy OF magma
Charta has been cxceiled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes Of the seals and
signatu, sshave made every reader OF tss'e
in Great Britain acquainted, in sons de-
gree, not merely with the state ofknowledge
and Of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, alse, OF KING John,
King Henry, and their Barons 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 and il the fac-similes Of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents Of Ju1ius or Of the aristocracy that
wrested The English Charter from the reiuc-
tant monarchs of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration of ludepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes o. the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as we'll as our WI !: and eve
ry innocent n honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause of public i:
berty. Such an embellishede edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, Will
have a tendency to spread the Knowledge OF
lis contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
se:ye TO place it continually under the eye
OF man, woman, and child in a taInily--it
viii associate the pleasurable ideas Of ele-
.gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itself-and famiiiarize 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 a specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst US al
the present day. Actusted by these views,
