AN ESSAY ON THE .y
Natural Equality of Men y

To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the

The Firjl American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if right
ly understood, is the only Uafij.on which
universal justice, facrcd order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
elfay, at the fame time that it repreilVs tbs
insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
the outrage* of oppreflion ; confirms, in the
most forcible manner, the necelfify of subor
dination, and the just demands of lavHul au
thority. So far indeed, from loosening the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every c'vil diftinftion,
draws more closely every Ibcial tie, unites in
one harmonious and justly proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even 1
ground of the inherent rights of human na- ]
ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com- ,
mon relation to the coramuuity.

The Public are cautioned to i ;
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty %
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
federal of which have appeared in circulation <
'within a few days pafl ; they are a good ge- i
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may I
be diftmguijhed by the following
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL thai have appeared have the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes Ihe ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to the top of the M, would extend con
(uiterajjiy above &be range of the whole, word.
In the word United the letters ire narrow
erand clofei* together than the reft of the bill
The i and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more forward
than the i.
The eng/aving is badly executed,the strokes
of all the l etters are stronger and the devi e
in the margin particularly is much coarser
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
ot the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
her, and no five dollar bills were issued in
year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. tor their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar '
to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described ; the engraving is bettei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The £11? ruled linesthrough the word Twen
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number thir
teen irl the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfoils. \
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar B lis as defer ibed a
bove, the 0 beii?g lets than the m, ethers
following.
There is no stroke to the / in the word North
whereas in ihe genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The .letters ent in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, out are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and the>> go
ing below them.
The -signature | ftixon, has the appear
ance of oeing written with lamb-black and
01, and differs from other inks used in
printing the bills and the caftiier's signature.
It'is supposed 1 these forgeries were committed
in fomeofthc Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, from
1 hence, and two pet fens have been appTFhcirel—-<
ed-in Virginia,on fbfpicion'of being the author
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be-paid to any or Persons who shall
di fcover and prosecute to convi&ion the several
offenders of ihe following defci iplious or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufa&ured
the paper on which the Bills are primed.
The person or pqrfons, who engraved the
plates. \
The printer or printer*, ©f the bills.
Every person who has a&ed as a principal in
any ofiber way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said Uilis.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank 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 distinguished from the genu
ine tyv the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
tender texture and glofley furface than the
genuine, aiid there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cafliier, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas' in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The
letter * in the Word demand, is badly formed
and the who.'e word ill done, and there is no
comma at the end of it, as there is in the
genuinfe bill*.
The margitfal device, is much darker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owintr to
the shade (frokes 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, &
profeciiting to conviction the several above
deferred Offenders in refpeft to this, as to
the lait defenbed bills-
