THE
Declaration of independence.

NX7E have no authentic copy Of this most
wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column of American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not !?
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR IA, though every provI-
sion it contains has been tramped 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
signatur eshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art al the. period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their 6 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 it the fac SMILES OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations Oh the correspon-
dents of Juaus or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
;ant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration OF lndepen-
lence are spread out before the eyes of the
world, The more they will be admired, by
oreign nations as vel! as our own: and eve
~ innocent and honest device that may serve
10 attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause Of public H.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
render 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 to place il continually under the eye
IF man. woman, and child in family-it
viii associate the peasurable ideas of ele
rance aud ornament with the history Of the
transaction itself-and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpolitical society
Nor is it Of small moment that such an edi
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
ofthe state of the Fine Arts amongst us al
he present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
A SPLENDID EDITION
