THE
Declaration of independence.

INTE have no authentic copy, OF this most
wv important state paper, the very oasis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for a moment, with satlsfac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHAR IA, though every provl-
sion it contains has been trampled upon b1y
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid 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
signatu, 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
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their " Barons bold,
Surely the Declaration of American indie
pendence is, at least, as we'll 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 curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls tor limitations OF the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the arstocracy 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 o: 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 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 falnily--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itseIf-and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpoltical 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 al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

how well + am pleased with the Ruthven
Press, improved and made by you but a
variety of circumstances have prevented it..
have had it in constant operation three
months during which time nearly all the
printers of this city, and a number of our
most ingenious mechanics, have called to ex-
anime it. They have pronounced il as COM
.plete in every respect, as any machinery
they have ever seen.
The following is the idea have of it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct

done in given time.
The exertionof working it is no more than
healthy exercise for boy of Is years Of age
q have a boy OF that age to work on mine.
