THE
Declaration Of Independence.

tK7E have 40 au'hentccopy 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 nave we not
The English aation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR IA, though every provI-
sonit 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 excelied by later specimens
of art, and the fac-smiles of the seals and
sgnatur sshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art al the period in question, but with
The literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, aud their g 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 it the fac-similes OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed 1T were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
| iity a curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which callsior limitations OF the corfespon-
dents of Junius OF Of the aristocracy that
| wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
| ant monarChs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
| the principles OF our Declaration OF lndepen
| fence are spread cut before the eyes OF the
| world, the more they will be admired, by
toreign nations as well as our own: and eve
| ~ innocent and honest device that may serve
| o attract attention toward them, will serve,
| also, to promote the great cause Of public IL
aerty. Such an embelishededjtion as will
renaerit an ornament to an apartment, viii
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

will associate the pleasurahle ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itset-and iamilarize those
