Despite the fact that the Liberty Bell is one
of the treasured of national relics. it is not
orig ually an American product but foreign I'M
portaton: and imported from England, too. where
it first according to the order given IN
October 1851. by the superintendents OF the state
house of the Province of Pennsylvania-now lnde-
pendence Hall.
Thomas Lester of White Chapel. London. cast
the bell. and by August, 1852, 1t arrived in Phlla
delphia and was erected trusses In the state
house yard. While being tolled and tested early
in September of the same year 1t was cracked by
the clapper, though by no unusually powerful
stroke. Concerning this accident Isaac Morris
wrote. March 10. 1853:
Though the news of our new bell cracking Is
not very agreeable to u.s. we concluded to send II
back by Captain Budden. who had brought 1t from
London last August. but he could not take 1t on
board upon which two ingenious workmen under
took to cast 1t here. and am just now informed
they have this day opened the mould and have
got good bell which. confess. pleases me very
much, that should first venture upon and sue
ceed in the greatest bell cast for aught know,
in English America. The mould was finished in
a very mastery manner. and the letters. am
told. better than (on) the old one. When we
broke up the metal our judges here generally
agreed it was too high and brittle. and cast sew
eral little bells out of it to try the sound and
strength, and fixed upon a mixture Of an ounce
and half of copper to the pound of the old bell.
and in this proportion now have it..
Herman Pass from the Island Of Malta and
Jacob Stow a OF Charles Stow. the doorkeep-
er OF the assembly. were the two ingenious work
referred to in the above letter. After the
second casting OF the bell 1t again hung and
tested in the spring of 1853. More defects were
soon found. however. The American casters.
Pass and Stow, who were not bell founders by
trade at all had put too much copper in the metal
SO that Its sound impaired. Disappointed
with that failure and also nettled at the gibes of
their townsmen concerning 1t, they asked permis-
sion to cast the bell second time. Thomas Les
ter the original maker of it. also offered his
services. but the authorities decided to allow
Pass and Stow to proceed again. and thus the
third and present casting was made. and again
the bell was raised; this time in the state house
steeple itself That operation was completed by
the end of August OF 1853. when the American
casters we're paid 80 lbs. Sd for their labors.
Then began its chimes, August q. 1883. when

When the planning and splitting mills were
closed and the manufacture of iron and steel prod

Pennsylvania and the kings was affixed
upon pine trees and the trade of the colonies IN

Thus did the bell. long before the Revolution.

When the port OF Boston was closed in May,
IVA and the heart OF the country was growing

carefully muffed and tolled in a solemn and pro

relieve suffering In Boston on account Of the
restriction Of its trade.

should be permitted to travel any more appears to
be about due and just now. when the anniversary
OF the nations independence is upon US. IS rea-
sonable time for discussion of the matter.
Wilfred Jordan. curator of the Independence
Hall Museum measured the second crack before
the bells last journey and then measured It again
after its return, He found that it had increased
In length to a slight degree.
No knows just when this second crack
occurred, and opinions differ; but compared to
the old crack 1t is of recent origin and is dis
unctly visible. Mr. Jordan. however, was the first
to call attention to long and almost invisible
extension OF the second crack and finds that 1t
now reaches one-third way around the bell, from
the end of the old original fracture, which was
chiseed out in 1916 in attempt to make the
bell sound properly.
Putting end to the bells pilgrimages would
In no sense at all be due to disinclination OF
the people councils of Philadelphia to allow the
west to view and possess the sacred relic even
for short time. Indeed Philadelphia would be
only too glad to send it. for since the bell has
already helped by Its travels to lessen the sec
uonal feelings between the north and south. SO 1t
would help unite the citizens OF our republic who
live the Atlantic seaboard with those who live
the Pacific.
Little do either sections realize how intimately
the bell is connected with the consummation OF
nation. early political ideals and with the
fondest of its impulses in Colonial days This old
bronze relic only helped to proclaim 1nde-
pendence but for years before 1776 rang loud to
celebrate the hopes Of the people and rang low
to intone their woes!
Upon its sides is this inscription:
And proclaim liberty throughout all the land
unto all the Inhabitants thereof"-Lev. 25, 10.
strange Providence indeed wrote that inscription

clangors and melodious eloquence had aught at
all to do with liberty
Announcing proclamations OF war and treaties
OF peace; welcoming the arrival and bidding God
speed to departing notabes; proclaiming some
accession OF the English royal family to the
throne and the secession therefrom of the Amer-
can colonies! Its more customary use however
was to call the members Of the assembly Of Penn
