siont contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition of their rulers, have pub

Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy of Magma

of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and

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 &c 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 if the fac-similes of the sig

wrested the English Charter from the reluc-

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 u.
berty. Such an embelished as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have a 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
nf man, woman, and child in a family-it
will associate. the pleasurable ideas of ele-
sance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itself-and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpoiitical society,"

ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
Of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
