Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
' IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. RO of the New Theatre,
Phladelphia, Author of Victoria, the In
quifitothe Fiile de Chambre, &c.
Qf Charlotte y the Reviewers have given
the following character.
IT nri> be a Ta'le of Truth, for it is not
unnatural, and it is a tale of ieal diitrefs.
Charlotte, by the artifice of a teachei, recom
menced so a school, from humanity rather
than a con vt&ion of her integrity, or the re
gularity of her former condnft. is enticed
from her gov£n.ef>, and accompanies a young
•officer to America.—The marriage ceremo
ny, if not forgotten, is portioned, and Char
lotte d'es a martyr -o the inconstancy of the
ofrdr, and treachery of his friend —The litu
tions are artless and affcdting—defcrip
ations natural and pathetic; we should lee
for Charlotte if such a person ever existed,
who for one er or fcarcrly, perhaps, deserved
fS fevee a punishment. If it is a fi&ion,
p>eticjuftice is not, we think, properly dif

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Batik of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
fe-veral of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days pajl; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be dlftinguifhed by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL thai have appeared havs the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper,is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink nlore freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in die word Company isfmaller
than theM- and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
t» 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,
crand closer together than thsreft of the bill
The i and/in the word promise are not
parallel, the /inclining much more forward
than the i.
The engraving is badly cxecuted.the strokes
of all the Letters are stronger and- the devi. e
in themargin particularly ismuch coarfcr and
appeal's darker than in ihe Hue bills. Some
ai the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
b«r, and no five dollar were ill ued in
lhat year.
Twenty 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 couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described ; the engraving is bcitei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Tmen -
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number th.r
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being lels than them, and others
following. t
There is no stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The letters cnt in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do noi come down to
the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and 'hey go
ing below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
01, and differs from other mTU used in
printing the bills and the calhjer's signature.
It is luppofed these forgriies were commuted
i ill fomc of the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come Irom
ihence, and two persons have been apprehend
ed in Virginia, on lufpiciau of being ihe author
of them.
The ,eward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid 10 any Foj lon or Persons who Ilia 11
discover and profecutc to conviction the teveial
offenders of the following or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured
the paper on which the Bills arc printed.
The perfoo or perlons, who engraved the
plates.
The pririter or printers, of the bills.
Kvcry person who has a£led as a principal in
any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said bills.
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-
B.
They may be diftinguiflied from the genu
ine by the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
tender texture and glofley furface than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in ihe
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, ihe whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. The
letter a in the word demand, is bac ly lormed
and the whole word ill done, and tiiere 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 (hade strokes being eoar iei, much nearei
together and confequentiy much more nu
merous. This difference strikes the eye at firfi
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, wi)l be paid for &
prosecuting to conviction the several abov<
described Offenders in to thi:;, as tc
; the laftdefcribed bills.
