spirited opposition was made to the re cleo

Declaration of Independence
demo

N7Ehave 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 satiSfac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR IA, though every proyI'
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
ished 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 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 attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their "Barons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and il the fac Smiles of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
iify curiosity, at least as laudable 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 we'll 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 embellished as will
render it 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 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in family--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas Of ele-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itselt-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 edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
