THE
Declaration Of Independence.

AE7E have no authentic copy OF this most
! w 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 satIStaC-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
| MAGMA CHARrA, though every prov-
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
| lshed 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 exceled by later specimens
of art, and the faC-similes of the seals and
signatur 8shave 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 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 it 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 laudabIe as that
which calls Tor limitations OF the correSpon-
dents of Junius 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 well as our own and eve
| ~ innocent and honest device that may serve
| 10 attract attention toward them, will serve,
p!so, to promote the great cause of public IL
,erty. Such an embellished edition as will
| renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have 4 tendency to spread the kn ,wedge 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 ii continually under the eye
fman, woman, and child in farnily-it
! viii associate the pleasurable ideas of ele
rance and ornament with the history of the
Transaction itsel--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 cdi-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
Of the state OF the Fine Arts amongst US at
he present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
