NNTE have no authentic copy OF this most
wv important state paper, she very basis
that supports the proud column of American
liberty; none, at least, on which the eye oil
taste can rest, for moment, with satisiac-
ton. Why have we moi
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provl-
sion it contains has been trampIed upon by
the bold ambition Of their 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 exceIled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
signatures 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, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their !" Parons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American indie
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations OF art as the Magma Charta OF
Eng land !; and il the fac SMILES of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, i would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as Iaudable as that
which calls for limitations Of the correspon
dents Of Junius or of the aristocracy 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
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 H.
berry. Such an embelished edition as will
| renderit an ornament to an apartment, Will
have a 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 it continually under the eye
tof man, woman, and child in a family-lt
will associate the pleasurable ideas OF eie-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itsei-and lamiliarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of poitical snciety.--
Nor is it OF small moment that such an edl-
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

The following is the idea have of it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct

done in given time
The exer,ionof working it is no more than
healthy exercise for boy of Is years of age.
