liberties to the ecsjliab people as it was called was ia fact acireful revision aud reproduction of the om anglosaxon prin ciples and tenets of government which had been sqppressed by the norman con- qaerors aud their immediate suwesaors bat uever miad that buflke it to say- it was a grant forever from the king to the people of he rights of liberty and life after it had become known that the king john wooid at length sign it the charter was drawo up on parchment with great care the most expert scriveners having been engaged to perform the en grossing and when completed it was taken to he royal presence where the signing wis done oue of the largest sheets or skins of veil am to be produced had been put to use and there was room on the margin for the signatures of the king and all he crcaf barnus besides the affixing of their seals a grand celebration followed the consummation of the work after which knowledge of the great charter and its provisions was given to the people at targe to vhich ends copy was made duly attested lor each and every country ia the kinedom and mind you this document was voluminous nothing which those old libertydemanding barons could think of had been iorgottou there were more than fifty reparste sections aud many of those ctxiious contained each a volume id itself well copies were made from the original and then copies were made from copies and uot ouly were copies of the charter sent lo proper ofljeera throughout the realm but many of tbe barous had copies for themselves the original draft the prand document of all he one parent of all copies war laid away so carefully that noue could gud it however that generation did not care mcch about it- the attested copies were good enough but sacceediuc cercr- alioua were anxioas to see tbe original magna charts tbe document whercunfo was f xed the signature and seal of john lackland and ou which co the ilout old barous had put their hands either to write their names or to mak their marks bat it was not to be found the eacer ones searched luh and lowfar and near but without avail it was believed at length that the great orirjual had been un fortunately destroyed and so the matter tested for a long longtime as we shall see the great charter was made in he be ginning of the thirteenth century karlyin theseventeenlh century fourhundred years later sir robert cotton the celebrated antiquary chanced one day to have his attention attracted to a curious looking piece of parchment its margia thickly armed with broad eeal which a tailor had laid oat upon his board just ready to cat it up into measures he sprang forward and held the workmans head when lo and behold there lay the true miquo charia the reat original with its signa tures and its seals all intact the hailor said he had obtained it with a lot of old papers that he had purchased of a man who had recent y rented a suit of apartments which had in olden times bm occupied by a firm of scriveners sir robert bought the precious document for a trifling sum and iius was recovered the treasure which had been so long given over as lost and which had grown more and more valuable as the passing of the years had added to
