THE
Declaration of independence.

WE have no authentic copy OF this most
Nv 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 CHARTA, though every proyi-
sionit contains has been tramped upon by
the bold ambition other rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessors
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 at the period in question, butwith
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their :" Barons bold. :
Surely. the Declaration of American Inde-
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 curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calsfor limitations of the correspon-
dents Of Juuius OF of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from, the reluc-
tant monarchs OF the, day. So.
| We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles ofour Declarationof lndepen-
| dence are spreadiout 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
/ renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge of
| lis contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but tightly
towardsthe subject. Such an edition will
serve tosplace ii continually under the eye
ofman, woman, and child in fanily-it
Twill associate the Measurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
| transaction itself and faniliarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement fpolitical society,".
| Norisit of small moment that such an edf-
ltion, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state OF the Fine Arts amongst us al
/ the present day. Actuated by these views,

YEHHE publisher in offering The above work
Il to an enlightened and discriminating
public, feel confident of receiving that en-
enlargement which has hitherto been so H.
berally bestowed upon all productions OF me-
rit. Among the many orator who have dis
played their eloquence al the bar, both in
America and in Europe, none have been
more successful in touching the finest feel
ings Of the heart, anc exciting the noblest
passions OF the soul, than Mr.. Phillips. His
speeches are replete with metaphor, and
possess. in great degree al that felcitous
copiousness of which the English language
is SO susceptible His eulogium on the i'm
mortal WASHINGTON, is OF itself master
piece of eloquence. In his character OF b.
naparte, he paints the actions of that won
dertul parsonage in language at once sub
lime and imposing with all the chasteness
and precision of an historian, he recapitu-
lates his movements from the cradle to the
camp-trom the camp to the tfrone-and
lastly from the elevated station OF an EN-.
peror TO that Of an exile and eaptive-there-
by confirming truth, that power unsupport-
ed by virtue is liable to wither and decay
His speeches on the various Grim. Con- ca

classes of readers and the citizens Of this
republic, may, while perusing the immoraii-
ties and vices of Europeans, rejoice that in
this country such crime is almost unknown.
His speeches on the Emancipation of the
Roman Catholics of ireland, need no COM
ment-they speak for themseves-and un-
fold to mankind the history of a class of men,
who, although denied many political and CT
vii privileges, have always been known to
be the friends Of their country in times of
danger and in battle.-The American reader
must view with Indignation the various OPP
pressions under which great portion of that
gallant and patriotic people at present labor :;
and ages yet unborn" will lament the ex-
istence of code which prevents man from
worshiping his Creator according to the die
tates OF his own conscience.
The publishers, therefore, feeling ANNA
ted by desire TO present to the American
public, specimens of sublime and chaste elo-
quence, which has been so often exerted in
the cause of benevolence and the noblest
rights Of human nature, with respectful diff
6dence invite the patronage of all classes
who are interested in the display of national
social, and forensic oratory.
