INDEPENDENCE,

an American edition of the DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE; with fac similies

ment.

was meant to form the remainder of the

copied from official documents and 2xecu-
ted with z particular eye to heral' :accu-
racy.
To esecute, in the most able ana perfect
manner the plan so advertised has been an
object never lost sight of by the Subscri-
ber, who has been unceasingly anxious not
only for the splendor and accuracy but
prompt execution of the work.
An penta n was enteitamed that the
ae d be ready for publication in
February 1817, but this expectation cannot
be realized. :
The publisher duly impressed with the
importance ofthe duty he has imposed up-
on himself, is determined, that all the ex-
pectations he has raised as to the Accura-
cy, Taste, and Splendor of the publication
shali be fully realized. The difficulties
that have presented themselves have been
greater than was expected, and the ex
pence incu. ed heavier than had been cal
culated : but the gencral approbation with
which the Proposals were received, has in-
cited the oe ‘to perseverance, and
determines him to make this edition wor-
thy the principles which it is intended to
perpetuate, and the nation to whom it shall
be dedicated. ; 4
It is needless to speak of the merits of
the Artists employed : they arc known:
could better have been found, they would
have been resorted to, on this occasion.
The Plate has been under the graver
ever since last May ; but such is the quan-
tity of work, and the style of execution, that
anniversary of the day on whicly Indepen-
dence was proclaimed. nd
It is found that the Taper will require
to be 38 by 26 instead of 36 by 24 inches;
a Press must be made for the purpose.
The difficulty of procuring official impres-
Arms of the respective States, has proved
another source of delay. Many of those
that have been received, are of so imper
fect and confined a character—the draw
ings so inelegant, and often so inaccurate ;§
description——that it was found indispensa-
ble to eiigage an Artist of science, tast«
and skill, to reconcile the discordant me
terials, and make the drawings harmonizi
with the descriptions on record This
task Mr. Sully has undertaken; and is pro-
ceeding in it with all the zeal that the sub
ject requires; and he will compieat the
Arms of the several States in such a man-
ner as to make this publication the sand

ROSS'S GREEK GRAMMAR.
N O real proficient in the Greek Lana
guage needs to be informed of the impor
tance of having the rules of the Greck
Grammar in Latin.
The student, who can construe, parses;
and write Latin well, enters with peculia®
advantage on the study of the Greek Lan-
uage. :
Not only the rules more concisely exs
press in the Latin than in the E:giish;
but the best scholiasts, Commentators an
Grammarians of the Greek language rave
generally writen in Latin j and the student,
who has become a proficient in Latin, will
acquire the knowledge of the Greek ‘with
much more facility and accuracy than he
who, without such a previous knowledge,
applies to it merely with Enghsh rules ¢
the former, whilst he is studying the Greek
Grammar by Latin rules, is, at the same
time, improving the knowledge of the Lat
in, the Greek Grammar in Latin being a
mos: excellent classic book : the latter as
he studies the Greek by an English Greek
Grammar, cannot possibly do this; itis
unnecessary to state how Iimperiant the
knowledge of both Greek and Latin 110 &
liberal education. ;
The editor has used in the first edition
and will continue to use in this, his, best
endeavors to render it both concice and
comprehensive ; his chief aim being to ens
able the student te pronounce, rescive
good Latin, and parse the Greek with “sve.
