HE - TSttOfiCLARATIOH — - ifvf ”, , 7 * ■ ■ . * .. o* < INDEPENDENCE. have nri authentic copy of this most important State 1*aper, the very baas that supports the proud co lumn, of American liberty; none, at leastrnn which the eve of taste can rest, for a moment, with satisfaction.— ^ht *avx wot? The English nation, still proud of their MAGNA CttARTA, though every provision it contains has been trampled upon by the bold ambition of their rulers, have pubUshed edition after edition of this instrument, each mote splehdid than its predecessor. Sir William Black- stone has collated and commented onit. His fine copy VpfMaena Charta has been excelled by later specimens ‘ef'thhart, and thfefac similies of the seals and signatures 'Have every reader of taste in Great-Britam 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 bdld.” . T Surely the ‘Declaration of American Independence is, «t least, as well entitled to the decorations of art .«s the Magna Charta of England: and if the fUc-sumiies of the signatures of the patriots who signed:it were published 4a America, if would serve to gratify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that which calls for imitations of the cor respondents of Juntos, or of the aristocracy that wrested the English Charter from the reluctant monarchs of the ' We are firmly persuaded that the more the principles of our Declaration of ^dependence are spread out be fore the eyes of the world, the more they wili be admir ed, fey foreign nations as well as our own, and every in nocent and honest device that may serve to attract at tention"'toward them, win serve, also, to promote the great cause of public liberty. £ucli an embellished edi tion as will render it an ornament to an apartment, will liave a tendency to spread the knowledge of its contents, among those who would otherwise have turned tneir thoughts but lightly towards the subject. Such an edi tion will serve to place it continually under the eye of man, woman and cliild in a family—it will associate the ■nleasureable 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 Lid cement of political society. Nor is it of small mo ment that such an edition, well executed, will serve as a Specimen bf the state of the Fitfs Arts amongst us as at the present day. Actuated by these views, the subscri ber proposes to publish .. a splendid EDITION OP TBE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, WhioK shall be, in all respects, American. All the ne cessary ^materials shall be manufactured in this country, and expressly for this publication. The Designs, the Engravings shall "be the work ot American Artists, the publication throughout shall afford evidence of what our citizens liave done in politics and cun do in art. Philadelphia, JMurch, 1816. PI AN AND TERMS OP 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 wkatthe fact really is, that there is no where extant an ynthehtic published copy of the most important Slate Paperin-the annals of the world. *Fhe«HiGi3CA* Declaration of Independence, as depo- kited 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 wlucli ■present themselves in our printed copies, and even as they lre‘of record on the Journals of the Old Congress, hre as follows:— «a declaration bi the representatives op the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN CONOUESS ASSEMBLED,” whereas in the original the Declaration is thus headed— “THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OP AMERICA.” *. . . . . .... This is not -a mere verbal distinction; it involves a clit- feicnce in Jiriuelple. Does it become Americans to be careless on this subject, or ouglit interpolation or altera tion of any kind to fie 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 Americaft public Will unhesitatingly answer YES! and the publisher stands pledged to have it so engraved, and to accompany if With the requisite proofs of uutlien- ^li'e size of the Paper will be thirty-six inches by twen- ty-failr. It wiil.be manufactured by Mr. Amies, in his best manner and of the very best materials. —The-jDestgrt; which is from the pencil of Mr. B support, Will be executed in imitation of Bas Belief; and will en circle the Declaration as a cordon of honor, surmounted by the Arms of the United States. Immediately under neath fhe aims wijl be a large medallion portrait of gene ral,GEORGE WASHINGTON, supported by cornucopia:, an<? [ehibelUshed with spears, flag*, and other military j,-v- phiei chid emblems. On the one side of this medallion portrait, willbe a similar portrait of JOHN HANCOCK, Prdn&fint of Congress, July 4, 1776; and on the other a jj«rtrkit 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 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. . v - The Whole of the design, (excepting the portraits) will be engraved by Mr. Murray, of Pliiladelplua, who has fopsome weeksbeen at work on the plate. Mr. Leney, of New-York will engrave the Portraits. . By- the advice ofoil the artists engaged, the publisher has abandoned the idea of printing the declaration with tnvEs, wd has determined to have the whole of it r.x- «raved. The ornamental disposition andstyle ofitlie en graving of the ,DeclaTation of Independence, whicu will -oecaipy the interior of the cordon, will be designed and executed by Mr. F airman. The faesimilies will be engraved by Mr. Varlance, ■Who.'will execute this important part of the publication at the city of Wasliington, where by permission of the se cretary of state, he will have the orioinae Signatures colored by one of ouir most approved water edorer* The price of tfiose superb copies “Will bd THIRTEEN dollars each.
