have 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
CVe of taste can rest,'for a moment, with satisfaction.—
Wrthave we sot?
The English nation, still proud of their MAGNA
CHART A, though every provision it contains has been
trampled upon by the bold ambition of their rulers, have
published edition after edition of this instrument, each
tnore.splendid than its predecessor. Sir William Black-
Stone has collated and commented on it. His line copy
Of Magna Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of the art, and thefac 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
their “Barons bold.”'
Surely the Declaration of Americas Independence is.,
wt least, as well entitled to the decorations of art as tne
Magna Charta of EngLuid: and if the fac-similies of the
signatures of the patriots who signed it were published
in America, it would serve to gratify a curiosity, at least
as laudable as that which calls for imitations of the cor
respondents of Junius, or of the aristocracy that wrested
the English Cimrter from the reluctant monarchs of tne
day.
We are tirmiy persuaded that the more the principles
6f our Declaration of Independence are spread out be
fore the eyes of the world, the more they will be admir
ed, bv foreign nations as well as our own, and fcvery 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 it an ornament to an apartment, will
have a tendency to spread the knowledge ot .ts contents,
among those who would otherwise have turned their
thoughts but lightly towards the subject. Such an edi
tion will serve to place it continually under the eye of
man, woman and child in a family—it will associate tne
pleasureable ideas of elegance and ornament with the
history of tbe transaction itself—and familiarise those
principles which form, or ought to form, the very bond
and cement of political society. Nor is it ol small mo
ment that such an edition, well executed, will serve as a
specimen of the state of the l-'i x r. Arts amongst us as at
the present day. Actuated by these views, the subscri
ber proposes to publish
a splemdid
EDITION
OF THE
DECLARATION
INDEPENDENCE,
Which shall be, in all respects, American. All the ne
cessary materials shall be manufactured in this country,
■^nd expressly for tins publication. The Designs, the
Engravings shall be the work of American Artists: the
^publication throughout shall afford evidence of wliat our
citizens have done in politics and can do in art.
Philadelphia, March, 1816.
PEA?! AXD'PfeKMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
When the publisher submitted the preceding notice
•of his intention to undertake tins national publication, aL-
though.it had long occupied his reflections, he was not
'fully aware of its importance, for he had nev’er suspected
what the fact really is, that there is no -where extant an
authentic published, copy of the most important State
•Paper in the annals of the world.
The original Declaration of Independence, as depo'
sited 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 our printed copies, and even as
they are of record on the Journals of the Old Congress,
are as follows:—■
« A DECLARATION BC TH* REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED,”
■whereas in the original the Declaration is thus headed-
“THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION Of THE THIRTEEN UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.”
Tills is not a mere verbal distinction: it involves a dif
ference in principle. Does it become Americans to be
■careless on tins subject, or ouglit interpolation or altera
tion of any kind to be permitted in a public document so
•sacred? Ought it not to be taithfuuy preserved and
transmitted to posterity word for word, letter for lcttei
and point for point?
The American public will unhesitatingly answer YES',
-and the 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 ins
■best manner and of the very best materials.
The Design, which is from the pencil of Mr. B rid port,
will be executed in imitation of Bas Relief; and will en
circle the Declaration as a cordon of honor, surmounted
by the Arms of the United States. Immediately under
neath the arms will be a large* medallion portrait ot' gene
ral GEORGE WASHINGTON, supported by cornucopia:,
and embellished with spears, fugs, and other military tru
phies and emblems. On the one side of this medallion
portrait, will be a simiiir portrait of JOHN HANCOCK,
President of Congress, Juiy 4, 1776; and on the other a
portrait of THOM AS JEFFERSON, author of the De
claration of Independence.
The arms “of the Thirteen United States,” in medal
lions, united by wreaths of Olive Leaves, will form the
remainder of the cordon, which will be further enriched
by some of the characteristic productions of the United
States; such as the Tobacco and Indigo Plants, the Cot
ton Shrub, Rice, Set.
The whole of the design, (excepting the portraits) will
be engraved by Ml*. Murray, of Philadelphia, \yho lias
for some weeks been at work on the plate.
Mr. Leney, of New-York will engrave the Portraits.
By the advice of all the artists engaged, the publisher
has abandoned the idea of printing the declaration with
types, and has determined to have the whole of it en
orated. The ornamental disposition and style of the en
graving of the Declaration of Independence, which will
occupy the interior of die cordon, will be designed and
executed by-Mr. Fairman.
the fac-similies will be engraved by . Mr. Vallance,
who will execute this important part of the publication at
the city of Washington, where by permission of the se
cretary of state, he will have the originae signatures
constantly under his eye.
The public are well apprized that the gentlemen
whose names have been mentioned, as undertaking par
ticular departments in the proposed publication, are the
first artists in the Lbiited States, and they have, one and
all, assured the publisher that They will sedulously devote
themselves to the execution of the several parts they
have undertaken, and will finish them in such a manner,
as to do credit to themselves and to the country, so far as
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,
will be faithfully executed from official descriptions
jlnd 'documents, and in the manner directed by
the most approved autho rs on the science of Heraldry.
From the arrangements made, and the dispositions
manifested by the artists, it is cofifidently expected that
tliis engraving will be, when finished, a splendid and tru
ly national 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.
The engraving* will be delivered to subscribers in the
manner in which they may have subscribed.
It id contemplated to have a few copies printed on pa
ger prepared to cany Colors, to have the shields accurate
ly tinctured in the modern style, and the plants, 8tc.
