ton. Why have we not
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proyl-
sion it contains has been trampled 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 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
signatW s.have made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question:. butwith
the literary attainments. also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their Barons 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 if the fac-similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tity curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspoE-
dents of Junius or of the aristocacy that
wrested the English Charter from the reuc-
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
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 IL
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
render il an ornament to an apartment, will
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 ii continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in lamily-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas Of ele
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itseli-and familiarize 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 edi-
ton, well executed, will serve as a specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
