We declaration
OF
IJVDEPEJVDEA'CE.
We have no authentic copy of this most important
(State Paper, the very basis that supports the proud co-
iumn bf Affeerican Liberty; none, at least on which the
eye of taste can rest, for a moment, with satisfaction.—
\Vht have we not?
The English nation, still proud of their MAGNA
CHART A, though everv provision it contains has been
trampled upon by the bold ambition of their rulers, have
cmbc&hed 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 thefac similies of the seals and signatures
Lave made every reader of taste in Great-Britain acquaint
ed, in some degree, not merely with the state ot 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 Amehioan Independence is,
at least, as well entitled to the decorations of art as the
ltfagita Chart* of England: and if the f.ic-similies of the
signatures of the patriots who signed it were published
in America, it would serve to gratify a curiosity, at k*t
as laudable as that which calls for imitations of the cor
respondents of Junius, or of the aristocracy that wrested
the English Charter from the reluctant monarchs of the
day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more the principles
Of. our Declaration of Independence are spread outbe-
fbre 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 ah embellished edi
tion as will render it an ornament to an apartment, will
have a tendency to spread the knowledge of .tsxontents,
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 tne eye ot
man, woman and cliild in a family—it will associate the
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 ot small mo
ment that such an edition, well executed, will serve as a
Specimen of the state of the Fixe As— amongst us as at
*the present day. Actuated by these >iews, the subscri
ber proposes to publish
A SPLENDID
. *L - -(fr - -u ^
colored by one of our most approved tfater coloreft.
The price of those superb copies will be THIRTEEN
dollars each. As no more of those copies will be print
ed than shall be subscribed for, gentlemen who wish for
them, are requested to add the word “colored” to their
subscriptions. JOHN BINNS,
jXo. 70, Cheanut street.

Engraving will be received at tuis office.

Philadelphia, March, 1816.
Yixk ANb TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
When the (publisher submitted the preceding notice
of his intention to undertake this national publication, ^
thbugb. it had long occupied his reflections, he was ,
fully aware of its importance, for he had never suspected
Vtfiat 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 bo 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, anev even as
they are of record oil the Journals of the*Oid Congress,
are as follows:—
“ A DECLARATION BT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
tTNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED)
whereas in the original the Declaration is thus headed
“the unanimous declaration of the thirteen united
STATES DF AMERICA.” ..... ,
This is not a mere verbal distinction; it involves a dif
ference in principle. Does it become Americans to be
careless ontliis subject, or ought interpolation or altera
tion of any kind to he permitted in a public docume*nt so
eacred? Ought it not to be taithfinlly. preserved and
transmitted to posterity word for word, letter for letter
and point for point? ...
The American public will unhesitatingly answer \ ES!
and the'publisher stands pledged to have it so engraved,
and to accompany it with the requisite proofs of authen-
^T^e size of the Paper will be thirty-six inches by twen
ty-four. It will be manufactured by Mr. Amies, in liis
best maimer and of the very best materials.
The Design, which is from the pencil of Mr. Bruifwit,
will be executed in imitation of Baa 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 of gene
ral GEORGE WASHINGTON,supported by cornucopia:,
and embellished with spears, fags, and other military tro-
phiesand emblems. On the one side of this medallion
portrait, will be a similar portrait of JOHN HANCOCK,
President of Congress, Julv 4, 1776; and on the other a
portrait of THOMAS 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 wili.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. Muhbay, of Philadelphia, who has
for some weeks been at work on the plate.
Mr- Lenxt, of New-York will engrave the Portraits.
By the advice of all the artists engaged, the publisher
baa abandoned the idea of printing the declaration with
tosa,- and has determined to have the whole of it ex-
graved. 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
executed by Mr. Faibma.n.
■ The. facshnilits will be engraved by Mr. Vaxlancf.,
who-Will execute this important part of the publication at
thecity of Washington, where by permission of the se
cretary of state, he will have the original signatures
constancy 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 United 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 trom 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
4ND documents, and in the manner directed by
the roost approved authors on the science of Heraldry.
From the arrangements made,, and the dispositions
manifested by the artists, it is confidently expected that
tins 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
Fcbnmrf next, at TEN dollars each copy, to be paid on
^Theengravmgs will be accompanied by a Pamphlet,
/■^dining the official documents connected with the pub
lication a# authorities, and a list of the subscribers’
^Theengravings will be delivered to subscribers in tbe
manner in which they may have subscribed.

Pursuant to a resolution of Council, the follow ing re
port is published for the information of all concerned.
“The committee to whom was referred the considera
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 for the further
security of the holders of the said bills, the' treasurer do
keep a separate account of the amount issued and that
he do keep the sums in the treasury of the city, to enable
him to pay Mils when presented to him, and that on no
occasion do he 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 m:ikc 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 any
permanent appropriation of their proceeds. .Your com
mittee further recommend that the treasurer do receive
for said Mils, the current money of the city, to wit—the
notes of Banks which are not depreciated further than
the difference of exchange, and that the treasurer furnish
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 sum under one dollar will be
paid. . CHARLES HARRIS, Y
