The famous old Liberty Bell,
which so Joyously rang to announce
the Declaration of Independence
and which tolled so sadly when
Ocorgc Washington died at Mount
Vernon, may again ring forth from
Independence Hall, in Philadelphia,
on Washington's next birthday,
February 22, 1931.
Efforts arc being made by officials
of the Ocorgc Washington Bicentennial Commission to arrange for
a nation-wid- e
radio hook-u- p
on this
date and have President Hoover
press an electric button In Washington which will start the nation's
most historic bell ringing again
after a silence of almost one hundred years. It Is proposed to have
the bell strike thirteen times, once
for each of the thirteen original
states.
According
to noted Philadelphia
historians, the lost ringing of the
bell was on July 8, 1835, in honor
of the funeral services of John
Marshall, Chief Justice of the
United States, who died In Phila
delphia on July C, 1835. While the
bell was being solemnly tolled it
suddenly cracked. An attempt was
made to repair it in 1846 for the
celebration of Washington's birthday ceremonies, but this attempt
failed. It Is believed, however, that
while the cracked bell will not give
forth Its once famous clarion notes,
it will, nevertheless, ring sufficiently
loud to be heard by all radio listeners, If it is tapped thirteen
times on the anniversary of Washington's birth next month.
Before It cracked, the Liberty
Bell had lived a life of eighty-tw- o
useful years and had become one of
the most famous bells In the world.
All through the Revolutionary War
the Liberty Bell was used for the
purpose of calling together the Inhabitants of the city to learn news
from the battlefields. At one time
during the war, however, it became
necessary to remove the bell hastily from its fastenings and take it
out of the city. This exciting event
took place on September 18, 1777,
when the news camr that the
British Army was about to occupy
Philadelphia.
The bell was carefully loaded on a wagon and conveyed along with the heavy baggage
of the American Army in a supply
train of seven hundred wagons,
guarded by two hundred North
Carolina and Virginia Cavalry, to
Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it
was hidden in Zion's Church until
June 27, 1778, when it was taken
back to Philadelphia and again
placed in Independence HalL
Never from that time until 1835
did anything of importance happen
that was not announced by the
ringing of this historic bell. It was
joyously rung when the news came
of the surrender of Cornwallis to
General Washington, which ended
the Revolution.
The Liberty Bell has been a great
traveller in its day. In fact, it has
seen more of the United States
than a vast majority of the people.
trip to
In addition to its war-tim- e
Allentown, it has made many peacetime Journeys.
George Washington very often
heard the ringing of the Liberty
Bell, due to the fact that he spent
more time in Philadelphia than
arts' other place except his home
State of Virginia. He first went
there as a member of the Contin
ental Congress. His next official
visit was as the presiding officer of
the Convention which framed our
His longest stay in
Constitution.
the City of Brotherly Love was as
President of the United States from
1790 to 1797.
The history of the Liberty Bell,
even before the American Revolu
tion. is an interesting one. In the
year 1751 the Assembly of the Pro
vlnce of Pennsylvania decided that
the State House at Philadelphia
(Independence Hall) needed a new
bell.
A resolution was passed in
structing the superintendent of the
building to secure one. The superintendents, Isaac Norris, Thomas
Leech and Edward Warner, wrote
the following quaint letter to Robert
Charles, the Colonial Agent at
London:
"Respected
Friend,
Robert
Charles:
"The Assembly having ordered us
to procure a bell from England to
be purchased for their use, we take
the liberty to apply ourselves to
thee to get us a good bell, of about
two thousand pounds weight, the
cost of which we assume may
amount to one hundred pounds,
sterling,
or perhaps with the
charges something more.

An American firm was now given
a chance to sec what It could do
In the way of producing a satisfactory bell. The name of this firm
was Pass it Stow, "two Ingenious
workmen" of Philadelphia. These
two young men broke up the English-made
bell, melted the material,
added an ounce and a half of
American copper to each pound of
the old metal to make it less brittle,
st
it with all the original
and
Inscriptions on It, with tho exception of the substitution of their
own names for that of the London
and the date and
manufacturer
place of the manufacture. Certain
defects made a second casting
necessary. The bell as it now stands
Is tho result of this second casting.
The bell is considerably larger

"We hope and rely on thy care
and assistance in this affair, and
that thou wilt procure and forward
it by the first good opportunity, as
our workmen inform us it will be
much less trouble to hang the bell
before the scaffolds are struck from
the building where we Intend to
place it, which will not be done till
the end of next Summer or beginning of the Fall.
"Let the bell be cost by the best
workmen, and examined carefully
before it is shipped, with the following words well sliapcn In large
letters around It, viz:
'By order of the Assembly of the
Province of Pennsylvania for the
State House in the City of Philadelphia, 1752'.
"And underneath: 'Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto
all the. inhabitants thereof Leviticus XXV, 10'.
"As we have experienced
thy
readiness to serve this Province on
occasloas, we desire It may be
all
our excuse for this additional trouble, from thy assured friends,

from 1755 to 1758, and Andrew

from 1758 to 1776. It was

The careful directions by the
superintendents were duly carried
out by the Colonel Agent at London. The bell was cast by Thomas
Lister, of Whitechapel, London,
and reached Philadelphia in August 1752. It, however, was not a
success. When placed on trusses
in the State House yard for a trial
ringing it was soon cracked.
