Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.-(LEV. 25: 10th verse.)

BY ORDER OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE PROVINCE OF PENN-
SYLVANIA FOR THE STATE HOUSE IN PHILADELPHIA, 1753.

It is surely significant that the bell which, for more than twenty years, had borne so prophetic a motto, should be the first, in all the American colonies, to ring out the joyous news of the immortal Declaration of Independence!
