• - i- s?--*. THE DHCL4lSAT*d&r 01 j • We hare no authentic copy of this most important State Paper, the very basis that supports the proud co lumn of American Liberty! none, at least on which the eye of taste can rest, for a moment, with satisfaction.— 'Wnr HAVE WE SOT? The English nation, still proud of their MAGNA CH ART A, though every provision it contains has been trantoled upon by the bold ambition of their rulers, have published edition, after editionjaf this instrument, each more splendid than its predecessor. Sir William Black- Stone has collated and commented on it. His fine copy of Magna Charta has been excelled by "later specimens of the art, and the fac similies of the seals and signatures have made every reader of taste in Great-Britain acquaint ed, in some degree, not merely with the state of know ledge and of art at the period in question, but with the literary attainments, also, of King John, King Henry, and 4heir “Barons bold.” Surely the Declaration of Americas Independence is, tet least, as well entitled to the decorations of art as the Magna Charta of England: and if the fac-similies of the signatures of the patriots who signed it were published in America, it would serv^to gratify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that which calls for imitations of the cor- fespondents of Junius, or of the aristocracy that wrested the English Charter from the reluctant mouarchs of the 4av. We are firmly persuaded that the more the principles «f our Declaration of independence are spread out be fore the eyes of the world, the more they will be admir ed, by foreign nations as well as our own, and every in nocent and honest device that may serve to attract at tention toward them, will serve, also, to promote the great cause of public liberty. Such an embellished edi tion as will render h an ornament to an apartment, will have a tendency to spread the knowledge of its contents, among those who would otherwise have turned their thoughts but lightly towards the subject. Such an edi-J tion will serve to place it continually under the eye of man, Nvomaii and child ft a f.unLly—it will associate the pleasureable ideas of elegance and ornament with the Kstorv of tbe transaction itself—and familiarise those principles which form, or ougiit to form, die very bond and cement of political society. Nor is it of small mo ment that such an edition, well executed, will serve as a specimen of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us as at tee present day. Actuated by these views* the subscri ber proposes to publish A SPLENDID EDITION or the DECLARATION INDEPENDENCE, "Which shall be, in nil respects, American. Ail the ne c&ssary materials snail be manufactured in this country and expressly for this pub head on. The Designs, th< Engravings shall be the work of American Artists: die publication turougiiout shall afford evidence oi what our -citizens have done in politics and can do in art. Philadelphia, Afarch, 1816. FLAX AXli TERMS or SUBSCRIPTION. When the publisner submitted the preceding notice of his intention to undertake tnis national publication, ai- teough it had long occupied his reflections, lie was not folly aware of its importance, for he nad never suspected irhat the fact really is, that there is no where extant an authentic published copy of the most important State Paper in the annuls of the world. The original Declaration of Independence, as depo anted in the secretary of state’s office, was happily pre served when so many valuable papers were consumed by the enemy. Without dwelling upon slight differ ences, inaccuracies, or omissions, the first words which present themselves in osr printed copies, and even as teey are of record on the Journals of the Old Congress, are as follows:— - “ A DECLARATION' B V THF. REPRESENTATIVES OF TUB UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN OO.VGRE9B ASSEMBLED,” Whereas in the original the Declaration is thus headed—- “TOE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF 1 11E. THIRTEEN UNITED *TATES OF AMERICA. This is not a mere verbal distinction; it involves a (iif- vference in principle. Does it become Americans to be ^careless on tnis subject, or ought interpolation or altera tion of any kind to be permitted in a public document so ■sacred? Ought it not to be faithfully preserved and transmitted to posterity word for word, letter for letter and point for point? The American public will unhesitatingly answer YES and tiie publisher stands pledged to have it so engraved and to accompany it with the requisite proofs of authen ticity. The size of the Paper will be thirty-six inches by twen ty-four. It will be manufactured by Mr. Amies, in his -best manner and of the very best materials. The Design, which is from the pencil of Mr. Bridport. will be executed in imitation of Das Relief; and widen -circie the Declaration us a cordon of honor, surmounted by the Anns of the United States, linme.iiately under neath the arms will be a Large medallion portr.it of gene TatGEORGE WASHINGTON,supported by cornucopia: and iinbelKsheJ with spears, flags, and other military tro Jihies and emblems. On the one side of ‘his medallio portrait, will be a similar portrait of JOHN HANCOCK President of Congress, July 4, 1776; and on the other i portrait of THOMAS JEFFERSON, author of the De claration of Independence. The arms “of the Tiurteen United States,” in medal- iipn$, united by wreatiis of Olive Leaves, will form the remainder of the cordon, whicli will be further enriched by some of the characteristic productions of the United States; such as die Tobacco and Indigo Plants, the Cot ton Shrub, Rice, &c. - Tue whole of the design, (excepting the portraits) will be engraved by Mr. Murray, of Philadelphia, \Viio has for some weeks been at work on the plate. Mr. Lune v, of New-York wilt engrave the Portrait By the advice of ail the artists engaged, the publisher has abandoned the idea of priming the declaration with types, and has determined to have the whole of it k.y- oraved. The ornamental disposition and style of the en graving of the Declaration of Independence, which will occupy the interior of the cordon, will be designed and execute}!by Mr. Fairman. Tbe fac-similies wiil tie engraved by Mr. Vallance, who will execute this important part of the publication at the city of \ ' .shington, where by permission of the se cretary of state, lie will have tne orioinae signatures constantly under his eye The pubnc are well apprized that the gentlemen whose names liave been mentioned, as undertaking par ticular departments in the proposed publication, are the first artists in the United States, and they have, one and all, assured the publisher that they will sedulously devote ihemseives to the execution of the several parts they have undertaken, and wiil finish them in such a manner, as to do credit to themselves and to the country* so far ay depends on the anxious employment of their respective talents on this national work. The portraits will be engraved from original paint ings and the most esteemed likenesses. The arms of the United States, and of the several states, wilt be faithfully executed from official descriptions and documents, and in the , manner' directed by the most approved authors on the science of Herald* v. From the arrangements made, and the dispositions manifested by the artists, it is confidently expected that this engraving w : il be, when finished, a splendid and tru- lyn&tional publication. The publisher thinks he can pro mise that it shall be ready to deliver to subscribers in February next, at TEN dollars each copy, to be paid on delivery. . The engravings will be accompanied by a Pamphlet, containing the official documents connected'with the pub lication as authorities, and a list of the subscribers’ names. ifeok, UK mptJWted i* add ii« 1ror& ^aitreiP fo tf&Mv subscriptions, JOHN BINNS, -Vo. 70, Chesnut street. -Cj* Subscriptions for the above proposed splendid Engraving will be received at this office. . july 9 81 For sale A light four wheel CARRIAGE and HARNESS, near ly new.
