Religiously preserved in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, is the Lab:
erty Bell which rang to celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Indo
pendence on July 4 1776. It was brought from England in 1762 and the
next year was recast with the words "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the
Land, and Unto All the Inhabitants Thereof” inscribed on it. For many
years it was rung annually on the Fourth of July, but in 1835, while being
tolled in memory of Chief Justice Marshall it was broken. Liberty Bell In
past years has been taken to many cities for exhibition, but of late this
practice has been abandoned in order that it may be preserved.
