. STORIES
IN STAMPS.
Liberty Bell Is Symbol
OF American Freedom

THE first "made in America"
= bell, the historic old Liberty
Bell which announced the birth o.
freedom, is pictured on the US,
2-cent Sesquicentennial comment
orative above, issued in 1925.
The bell has had a remarkable
history. It was ordered from an
English foundry in 1851 for the
Pennsylvania State House. The
bell cracked before 1t could be in
stalled.
When return to England was
delayed two Americans, Pass and
Stow, offered to recast it. The
tone of their first bell was not
satisfactory, but second casting
produced the Liberty Bell, with
its famous inscription: proclaim
Liberty throughout all the land,
to all the inhabitants thereof"
The bell announced the first
public reading of the Declaration
of Independence on July 8, 1776,
not on July A, as is common be-
lief. During the Revolution, the
bell was taken from its tower,
hidden under a church floor, to
prevent seizure by British.
The Liberty Bell cracked while
tolling during the funeral of CHIEF
Justice John Marshall, on July 8,
1885.
