Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre,
Philadelphia, Author of Vittoria, the In
quisitor, the F-iJle de Chambre, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given
the following charatier.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is ot
and it is a tale of real diltrefs.—
Charlotte, by the artifice of a teachei, recom
mended to a school, from hnmanify rather
tl\an a convi&ion of her integrity, of the re
gularity of her former conduct, is enticed
from her governed, and accorppanies a young
officer to America.—The marriage ceremo
ny, if not forgotten, is postpOned, and Char
lotte dies a martyr to the inconstanCy of her
qver, and treachery ot his friend.—The fix
ations are artless and affeding—the descrip
tion-, natural and pathetic; we should feel
for Charlotte if such a peifon ever existed,
who for* one er : or scarcely, perhlps, deserved
so severe a puniftiment. If it is a fi&jon,
poetic ju (lice is not, we think, properly dis
tributed

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Hank of tlx United Suites, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the B/tnt of North America,
fever a! of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days pi'.Jl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diftingu jhed by the following
M A R*K S.
Ti*ve Dollar Bills of the Bank*of the
United Statej.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Tdxturc of the Paper is thickcr and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is fmallet
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
siderably above'the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand clojer togechei than the reft of the bill
The i and yin the word proinife are not
parallel, the f inclining much more loiward
than the i. » '
. The engraving is badly executed,the fti okes
of all the Letters are stronger the devi e
in themargin particularly is much co tiler and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
Wthe counterfeits bear daie in 179 1 —* Where
as tft# Bank was not in operation till Detem
ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in
jhar. year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL have appeared have the. letter
B. lor their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a nearly similar
t'd that of the couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above defci 'bed ; the epgraying is b< tte« exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen
ty, in the body of the bill, are 'n number th 1-
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeit*.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being less than them, and others
following.
There is no stroke to the /in the wot North
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The letters ent in the word TwentVy to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, but are so cut as to give an irregulai
appearance to the word, the Tw and 'hty go
ing below them.
The fignamre 1 Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
01, and differs from other inks used in
printing the bills and the calhier's signature.
It is supposed tl\efe forgeries were committed
in forheof th-- Southern States, an all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, come from
tbcncc, and two per Tons have been apprehrrifl
ed in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
win be paid to any Person 01 Ptifons who fhali
discover and prosecute to convi&ton the several
offenders of the following defciiptions or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured
the paper on which the Bills arc printed.
The perfou or persons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has a&ed as a principal in
any other way, 111 the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bauk of the United States have appeared
in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS,and the alphabetical mark is the let
ter B.
They may be diftinguiihed from the genu
ine by the following MAPiKS :
The paper'of the counterfeits is of a more
tend r texture and glofTey furface than the
genuine, and there is 110 water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Calhier, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
ttroke, evidently in an unfiniflied state. The
letter a in the word demand, is badly formed
and the whole word ill done, and there is no
comma at the end of it, as there is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the shade Ifrokes being coarser, much nearer
together, and consequently much more nu
merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, &
prosecuting to convi&ion the several above
described Offenders in refpeft to this, as to
the last described bills.
