Declaration of independence.


ME have no authentic copy Of this most
Wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty !; none, at least, on which the eye oil
taste can rest for a mement, with satlslac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provi-
sion it contains has been trampled upon py
the bold ambition of their rulers, have ptb-
|lished edition after edition OF this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor-
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this hne copy OF Magma
Charta has been cxcelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes OF the seals and
signatu' shave 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, 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 it the fac SMILES Of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed It were
published in America, it would serve to grG
iify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junus or of the aris,ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs ct 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 ii.
berry. Such an embellished edition as vii
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 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in family-lt
will associate the pIeasurable ideas OF eie-
gance and ornament with the history OF The
transaction itseli-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 edl-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst US at
the present day, Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
