AN ESSAY ON THE
Natural Equality of Men,
On the Rights that result from it, and oil the
Duties whicli it imposes.
To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the
Ttyierian Society at Haarleifl.
Corrected and Enlarged*
By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN,
Profeflor of Moral Philofopby, and the Law
<>t Nature, and of Ecclef.aftical History ;
and Minister of the Eugliih Church at U-
trecht.
Aliquid Temper ad corainunem utilitatem at
fcrcm'um Cicero.
The Firjl American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if right
ly under flood, is the onLy basis on which
uoiverfai justice, sacred order, and pertett
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
eiTay, at the fame time that it reprefles the
iftfolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
the outrages of oppression ; confirms, in the
most forcible manner, the ne<eflity ol subor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loosening the
baads of society, that it maintains inviolate,
,every natural and every civil diftin&ion,
draws more clol'ely every facial tie, unites in
one harmonious and justly proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal obligation, aud oi a com
mon relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United Statu, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North 'America,
several of ivhicb have appeared in circulation
'within « /«u days fact ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine bills, but m.iy
be dijling uifbed by the following
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL tjiat have appeared have the lettfcr F.
for their Alphabetitpl 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 theM. and other letteis of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
fide! ably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The * and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more forward
>»n the »,
The engraving is badly executed,the ftiokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the devi-e
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appears darker than ip the true bills. Some
at the counterfeits bear date in 1791 —Where-
as the Bank was not in Operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were iilWd in
jhat year.
TUuenty Dollar Bills of fbe 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 Dollar Notes
above described ; the engraving is bcttei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
Tl»e fine ruled hues through the word Twen
/v, in the body of the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine b*lis, and but twelve in
ihe counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the o being less than the m % and others
fallowing.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The letters cut in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, but ate to cut as to give an trregulai
appearance to the word, the Tar and go-
ing below them.
The signature {. Nixon, has the appear
ance ot ocing written wiih Uwbrblack. aud
oil, and differs from other inks uled in
printing the bills and the cathier's signature.
It is supposed thele forgeries were committed
in tome of the Southern States, as ail the coun-
erfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thencr, aud two peiions have been apprehend
ed in Virginia,on suspicion of being the author
of thein.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be«patd to any Perfou or Persons who ihall
difcovci and prosecute to convi£l:on the several
offenders of the following def<*iiptions or any
of them, viz.
The pcrfon or persons, who manufactured
the £apcr on which the Bills arc primed.
The perioo or persons, who engraved ih»
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Evety perfoo who has adted as a principal
any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttei
mg the (aid bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appears
in ciiculation.
The de ik) mi nation 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
tender texture and glofley lurface than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in.them.
The letter C. in the word Cafhirfr, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfiniflied liate. 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 the>e is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much daiker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the (hade strokes being coarfei, much nearer
together, and conletjueutly much more nu
merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft
view.
. The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for appi &
profecoting to convi&ion the fevcral above
described Offenders in refpeft to this, as to
tbs last described bills-

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre
Phladelphia, Author of Victoria, the Inl
qurlitor, the Fille de Chambre, &c.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have given
the fallowing charaSer.
IT ma) be a Tale of Truth, for it is not
unnatural, and it is a talc of real dittrefs—
Charlotte, bj the artifice of a teachei , recom
mended to a school, from rather
than a convi6l ion o( her integrity, or the re
gularity of her former conduct, is enticed
from her governess, and accompanies a young v
>fncer to America.—The marriage ceremo
ny, if noi forgotten, i< postponed, ano Char
lotte dies a martyr to the incouftancy of the
over, and treachery of his friend —Thefitu-
tions are artless and affe&ing—the defcrip
ations natural and pathetic; we toould fee
for Charlotte if such a person ever existed,
who for one er.or scarcely, perhaps, deserved
Jo severe a puni/hment. If it is a fiction,
poetic justice is not, we think, properly dis
tributed
