THE
Declaration of Independence.

SN7E 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 a moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud Of their
MAGMA CHARrA, though every provi-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished 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-smiles 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 indie
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-
| tify a 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 reuc-
tan 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
berry. Such an embellished 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 fanily-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of eie
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itseIt--and famiIiarize 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 edit
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state OF the Fine Arts amongst US al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
