Liberty Bell riiv’ B out independem Texas It was a warm day in July. Independence Square, as it is now called, and the streets of Philadelphia were packed with men and women who had waited for hours with faces lifted toward the bell, wondering if their representatives would vote to declare independence. A messenger hurried up the stairs to the belfry and the tones of the bell burst upon the silent and waiting city. For two hours the sound of the bell was heard, proclaiming freedom to the col onies. The new Province Bell, later to be known as the Liberty Bell, was cast by Thomas Lister of Whitechapel, London, and ar rived in Philadelphia in August, 1752. It had been commis sioned by the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly to hang in the new State House (later re named Independence Hall). Before the bell could be raised to the tower, a news paper report of the time said “it was cracked by a stroke of the clapper during a test without any further violence” and was recast by Pass and Stow, “two ingenious workmen,’ of Philadelphia. In the recasting, the bell was broken up and the same metal melted down to be used in the new bell. To the old metal was added one and one-half ounces of American copper to the pound of old bell metal to make it less brittle. However, so much copper was added that the bell’s tone proved too brassy, and still another bell had to be cast. The third Liberty Bell pre served the shape and lettering of the original but substituted the names of the craftsmen and the place and date of recast: Aound the crown wasinscrilfl the Biblical motto liberty throughout theU unto all the inhabitants (Lev. 25:10).” Historians say the qi was probably chosen to ret William Penn’s Charted Priveleges, but the sentie fitted the American Revoluh so well that few people no«f member the earlier connofc tion. Finally in June, 1753, third bell was hung intheSii House steeple where it mained in use until the steep was taken down on July 1781. The hell was then loweK into the brick tower of the Sli House. Long before the bell was sin led out to proclaim throughout the land, theStt House bell clanged d( British tax and trade restrictiw and announced the BostonT« Party. As the British advanced Philadelphia in 1777, the hi was moved to Allentown fe safety. The following year, was returned to Philadelph and pealed joyfully for Amen can victories during the mainder of the Revolution War. Repair efforts were unset- cessful, and the bell hung mi and almost forgotten until IW when it was taken down the tower. After being shtftedlt various locations within pendence Hall, it was placed® the base of the Tower. Then the Liberty Bell remainedunt: New Year’s Eve, 1975, wheni was moved to the new Libert' Bell Pavilion one block norl Independence Hall. Taste has come to light. m**'r «...
