It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the
advantage,to American readers, that this edi
tion possesses, over every imported edition of
any system of Geography extant. The addit
tion of maps of the several state , procured a
a very great espenfe, and from the best ma
terials that are attaiuable, speaks such full
conviction on this fubjeft, that it would be
difrefpoft to the reader's understanding to
suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of
arguments to prove its superiority. In no
limilar work have such maps beenever intro
duced.
The emendations and additions which are
made in this work,are innumerable, and occuj
in every page. The public are referred to
the preface for a flight flcetch of a few oi
them.
The publisher takes the present oppo'tu
nity of returning his most lincere thanks to
tnofe refp &able characters who have favored
him with documents for improving the maps
of several of the states. -He requests a conti
nu3nce of their kiudnefs» and hopes that such
public spirited citizens, as are polfeifed of si
milar documents, will favor him with their
affiihmce in perfecting his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with
which he has been favored, has excited
in-hit breast the warmest featiraents of grati
tude—sentiments which time vyill not efface.
He pledges himfelf to the citizens of the
United States, to fp*re neither pains nor ex

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
A Ground Plan
OF THE
City Philadelphia,
AND ITS £NriRONS:
Taken from a&ual survey, by A. P. Fo lie,
Geographer, from St. Domingo.
THIS Plan will be engraved on a plate 26 ,
inches square ; and it will contain in ex
a6k description of all the squares, ftroets and
alleys in the City and Liberties. The fituaiion
of the several public buildings, such aslhe State-
House, City-Hall, Seat of Congress, Churches, J
and Semina
ries of Learning—of the several Banks, and ot
the Fedeial and State Oflifes, will be afcertaiaed. :
The parts which are built on will be diftinguifli- 1
ed fiom those that are not. Thecouries of the 1
rivulet* between Delaware and Schuylkill, and
as much of the Canal, intended to connect the '
navigation ot those two waters, as Ijes within t
the compass of the draught, will be accurately t
delineated. It will also be ornamented by a
view of the Chipping in'he harbor, and an ele- 1
vation of Congress-Hall, and 0/ the other public I
buildings that occupy the ground contiguous. j
In short, nothing will be omitted to render this
ufeful and desirable work acceptable to an en- ,
lightened public, that is in the author's power : ,
and it (hall be compleated with the greatest
poflible dispatch, asfoon as the generous encon- j
ragement of subscribers fhal! insure to the author
such a sum as will be fufficicnt to defray ex

the Bank of the "United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
fe-veral of which hwue appeared in circulation
within a few days past ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, hut may
be diOinguifhed by the following
marks.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL that have appeared liavs the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
f® that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
fulsiably above the range of the whole word.
lu the word United the letters are narrow*
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and /in the word promise are not
parallel, the /inclining much more forward
than the «
The engraving is badly executed,the strokes
(if al] the Letters are stronger and the devi e
ill the margin particularly ismuch coarser and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some i
of the counterfeits bear date in 1791— Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decem
ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in
that year.
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of the counterfeit Five Dollm Notes
above described ; the engraving is bettei exe
cuted, and they approach neaTer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twtn
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine b 1 lis, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Blls is defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being less than then, and ethers
following.
There is no stroke to the / in the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the ftrojee is well
defined.
The letters ent in the word Tvunt), to the .
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tui and '.he j go
ing below them.
The Signature J Nixon, t>as the appear
ance of beiog written with lamp-black and
goil, and differs from, the other inks used in
printing the bills and the cafhiei's lignature.
