Declaration Of independence

YKTE have no authentic copy of this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports TIE proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satisiac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARrA, though every proyl-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition of their rulers, have pub
lisbed edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor.
Sir William Blackstone has co!lated and
commented onit-his fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled By later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
sgnatu' sshave made every reader OF TASTE
in Great Britain acquainted, IN some de-
gree, not merely with the state otknowledge
and of art al the period in question. but with
the literary attalnments, also, OF King Sohn'
King Henry, and their Earons bold.
Surely the Declaration Of American indie
pendenCe is, at least, as well entitled 10 the
decorations OF art as the Magma Charta OF
England and if the fac-similes OF the sig
natures Of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve te gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
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 II.
berty Such an embellished edition 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 tamily--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction tself--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 edi-
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
