THE DECLARATION
. o¥ .,
IXD BPEXDEXCE.
We 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
eve of taste can rest, for a moment, with satisfaction.—
Wht have we not?
The English nation, still proud of their MAGNA
CHART A, though every provision it contains lias been
trampled upon bv the bold ambition of their rulers, have
published edition after edition of 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
their “Barons bold.”
Surely the Declaration of American Independence is,
at least, as well entitled to the decorations of art ..s the
Magna Charta of England: and if the fac-simiiies of tne
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 mutations of the cor
respondents of Junius, or of the aristocracy that Wrested
the English Gharterfrom the reluctant monarchs of the
dav.
We are firmly persuaded that the more the principles
Of 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
^reat cause of public liberty. Such an embeliisued edi-
tion as will render it an ornament to an apartment, will
have a tendency to spread the knowledge of its contents,
among those who would otherwise. have turned then
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 the
pleasureable ideas of elegance and ornament w itli the
history of tbe transaction itself—and familiarise those
Principles which form, or might to form, the very bond
and cement of political society. Nor is it of small mo
ment that such an edition, weil executed, will serve as a
specimen of the state of the Fixe Ahts amongst us as at
the present day. Actuated by these views, the subscri
ber proposes to publish
a splendid
EDITION
DECLARATION
INDEPENDENCE,
All the ne-
Which shall be, in all respects, American.
cessary materials shall be manufactured in this country,
and expressly for this publication. The Designs, the
Engravings sliall be the work of American Artists: the
publication throughout shall afford evidence ot what our
citizens have done in politics and can do in art
Philadelphia, .March, 1816.
PEAK AND TERMS OT SUBSCRIPTION*
When the publisher submitted the preceding notice
of his intention to undertake this national publication, al
though it had long occupied his reflections, he was not
■fully aware of its importance, for he had never 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 ojuGiNAL 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-
erices, inaccuracies, or omissions, the first words which
present themselves in our printed copies, and even as
they are of record cn the Journals of the Old Congress,
are as follows:—
« A DECLARATION BT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLER,”
whereas in the original the Declaration is thus headed—
‘•THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED
- r.
STATES OF AMERICA. ^
This is not a mere verbal distinction; itirivolves a dif
ference in principle. Does it become Americans to be
careless on this subject, or ought interpolation op altera
tion of any kind to be permitted in a public document so
sacred? Ought it not to be faitltfully preserved and
transmitted to posterity word for word, letter for letter
and point for point?
The American public will unhesitatingly answer YES!
and the publisher stands pledged to have it so engraved,
arid to accompany it with the requisite proofs of authen
ticity.
Thg size nf 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.
Tho-Design, which is from the pencil of Mr. Bridport,
will be executed in imitation of has Relief; and will en
circle' the Declaration as a cordon of honor, surmounted
by the . Arms of the United States. Immediately under
neath 1 the arms will be a large medallion portrait of gene
ral GEORGE W AStUNGTON", supported by cornucopia:,
amTeniSellished with spears, flags, and other military tro
phies and emblems. On the one side of this medallion
portrait, will be a similar portrait of JOHN HANCOCK,
President of Congress, July 4, 1776; and on the other a
portrait of THOMAS JEFFERSON, author of the De
claration ®f Independence.
The arms “of the Tliirteen 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, &c.
The whole of the design, (excepting the portraits) will
be-engraved by Mr. Mpbhat, of Philadelphia, who has
for some weeks been at work on the plate,
Mr. Lenet, 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 ex-
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 desig-ned and
executed by Mr. Fairman.
fac-similies will be engraved by Mr. Vallancf.,
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 ohiginae signatures
constantlyunder his eye.
-The public' arc weil apprized that the gentlemen
whose flames’have been mentioned, as undertaking par
ticular departments in the proposed publication, are tile
first artists in the United States, and they have, one and
ail, assured the publisher that they will sedulously.devote
thyp^yelves to the execution of the several parte they
have undertaken, and will finish them in such a manner,’
as to do Credit to themselves and to the country, so far as
cblored tme of our approved water eplc wn.
The price of those superb Copies will be THIRTEEN
dollars each. A9 no -more ot fhosecopies will be priori
ed than shall be subscribed for, gentlemen who Wish ft '
them, are requested to add the word “co?«red” to their
subscriptions, JOHN BINNS,

Pursuant to a resolution of Council, the following re

“The committee to whom was referred the considers
tion of the best mode of redeeming, investing and appro
priating the funds derived from the emission of corpora
tion treasury change bills, report—that ^r the further
security of the holders of tint said bills, the treasurer do
keep a separate account of the amount issued and that
he do keep tbe sums in the treasury of the city, to enable
him to pay- bills when presented to him, and that on no
occasion do lie make use of the sums so received, but for
the payment of the Said bills, unless otherwise -authorised
by special resolution of council. Your committee are of
opinion, that the amount issued is too small to enable
council to make any appropriation of the same by invest
ment in funds or otherwise to draw interest, and that the
existence of these bills may be too short in their limita
tion to authorise council for the present to make an
permanent appropriation of their proceeds. Your com
mittee further recommend that the treasurer do receive
for said bills, the current monqy of the city, to wit—the
notes of Banks which are not depreciated further than
the difference of exchange, and that the treasurer furnisr.
the committee of Finance with the amount of change bills
issued, and the amount on hand received for the same,
and that he do advertise that persons, holders of the
change bills, will receive payment at any time, by calling
on the treasurer—but no stun under one dollar will be
paid. CHARLES HARRIS,
