Declaration Of Independence

NTE 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 oil
taste can rest, for moment, with satIstac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provl-
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition OF this instrument,
each more spleadid than It's 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 at the period in question, but with
the literary attainmeRts, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their BaEons 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 F.; 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 calls tor limitations OF the correspon-
deats of Juuius OF Of the aristocracy that
wrested The English Charter from the reluc-
taat monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles Of cur Declaration OF lndepen-
dence are spread cat 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 rbelishededition as will
renderit 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 it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a tarnily-it
vii, associate the pleasurable ideas OF ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
Transaction itseli-and famiiarize 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 edr-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state OF the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
