Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUM ES.
By Mrs. RO'vVSON, of the New Theatre,
"Pftladelphia, Author of Vifloria, the In
quisitor, the F-.lle de Chambre, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given
the following character.
IT may be a Tale ol" Truth, for it is not
unnatural, and it is a talc of real diitrefs.—
Charlotte, by the artifice of a teachei, recom
mended to a fch >01, from hnmanitr rather
than a cinri&ioT of her integrity; or the re.
gularity of her former conduit, is enticed
from her goveri ek, and accompanies a young
officer toAmeiica—The marriage ceremo
ny, if not forgotten, ijL postponed, aod Char
lotte d es a martyr tb'the inconstancy of her
over, and treachery ol his friend —The litu
tio:js a ; artlei's and ajfe&ing—i hfe defcrip.
atio s natural and pathetic; we ihould feel
for Charlotte if i'uch a person ever existed,
who for one eror scarcely, perhaps, delerved
so feve-e a punifliment. If it is a fiction,
poetic juitice is not, we think, properly dif
trfbuted

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bilts of
the Bank 6f the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bilts of tlx Bank of North America,
fe-veral erf which have appeared in circulation
within a fe<tU days phft ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the getuiine Bills, tut may
be diflinguifhed by the fallowing
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills cf tfu Bank of the
United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for t'hffir Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more fieely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is finaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the »>,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con
siderably above the-range ps the \V-huie word.
In the word United the lettsrs are narrow,
erand closer than the reft of the bill
The i and.y m the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more iorwarJ
than tjie i.
The engraving is badly executed,the strokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the devie
in themargii- particularly is risuch coarser and
appeals darker rfian itr the true bills. Some
el the counterfeits bear date in I 791 —Where-
as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were iflued in
ihat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have'aooeared have the letter
ALL that have" appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
Tftey are printed on a paper nearly fjmtlar
to that of the couitfer&it Five Dollar Notes
above dcfcnbed ; the en£r"sfvir\g is bette' exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine biJls.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number th r»
tqen in the genuine b«lis, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
Tj'fie word Company is much like the ff/ne
Word in the Five 1 Dollar B lis &s defer ibed a
bove, the o being less than the and others
following.
There is no'ftroke to the fin the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined
The let Cert eat in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do nor come down to ,
the line, hot are fa cqt as to give an irregular J
appearance to the word, the Tw and 'bey go- .
ing below them.
The fjgnaiure 1 Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and |
oil, and differs from other inks used in
printing the bills a»d the cafhiei's lignatuie.
It is fuopofed thefc forgeries were committed
in some of lh • Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thence, and two perfofts have been apprehend
ed in on fuipicion of being the author
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to auy Peifon or Perfops who lhall
difco-vei and profecuie to convict.on the feveial
offenders of the following descriptions or any
of them, viz.
The perfori or pcrfrns, Who manufactured
thepaper on which the Bills arc printed.
The pier fan ar pet lons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or prinrers, «f the bills.
Every person who has a£led as a principal in
any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said b'lis.
Pniladielphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the Uni ted 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 by the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
tendjr texture and gloffey furface than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the
true WHS is strongly riiarked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an ufifinilhed state. The
letters in the wo-d 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 bilh.
The nparginal device, is much da>ker in
the fa He, than in the genuine bills owing to
the shade strokes being coarfc, much nearer
together, and consequently much more nu
merous.TKis cfifference firlkes the eye at firft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLAJRS,. will he paid for apprehending, &
profeciitjng so tonviftion tie several above
described Offenders in iefpe<?l to this, as to
the la'ft deferibed hills.
