Declaration Of independence.

h7E 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 eau rest, for moment, with satistac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nalion, still proud Of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proysi-
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
iished edition after edition of this Instrument,
each more splendid than it's predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collateu ana
fcommented ont-his fine copy OF magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes OF the seals ana
signatur fshaye made every reader OF TASTE
| in Great Britain acquainted, IN some de-
| gree, not merely with the state OF knowledge
and Of art al the period in question, but with
The literary attainments, also, OF Alag John,
King Henry, and their " Baronsbold."
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 1t we're
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudabie as that
WnlCn Calls LOT limitations itOi t9e COrieSpOH-
dents of Juaius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reuc-
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 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 edition as will
render il 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 tamily-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itseli-and familiarize 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 edi-
ton, we'll executed, will serve as specimen
Of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
