It is wholly unneceflary to expatiate on the
•dvantage.to American readers, that rhtsedi.
tion pofleires, over every imported edition of
any system of Geography extant. The arldit
Hon of maps of the feveralflate , procured a
a very great expense, and'from the bell ma
terials that are attaiuable, (peaks such full
conviction on this fuhje«, that it would be
diftefpeft to the reader's underftand.ng to
suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of
arguments to prove its superiority. In no
fim.lar work have such maps beenever i o t»-
vttced.

j The Public are cautioned to
I htsware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of ■
the Bank of. the United States, and Ttuehty
Dollar Bills of the Bank as North America,
fe-veral of ■■which have appeared in circulation
<witbin a few. days pajl; they- are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be difiingui/hed by tlx following
MARKS.
rinje Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
i - United Slates.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for their niphabetical Mark.
Tiie Texture of the Paper is thicker. and
* winter and it takes the ink-more freely
tlie genuine -paper.
The O. m the word Company is fmaiJei;**
than the M. and other letters ofthat wort.], '
so that a line extended from the top of the Q,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con-,
fiderably above the range of the whol*? word.
l/i the word United the letters .ire nariow
erandcloler together than the rei\ o( the bi'll
The i and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the much more forward
than the j.
The engraving is badly executed,the fttokes
of all the Letters are lironger and the devi< e
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
et the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Where
' as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were ifTued in
jhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B ior their alphabetical mark.
They are printed 011 a paper nearly similar
to that of the couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
'above defcribedv the engraving is beitet exe
ucted* and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen
ty, in the body Of Ihe bill, arc in number thir
teen in the genuine b lis, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The woi-d Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills defer ibed a
bove, the 0 being Jess than the to, and others
following.
There is rio stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the itroke is weli
defined.
The letters tnt in the word Twenty 9 to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, but are l*o cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and *.hey go
ing below them.
The Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
0.1, and di tiers from other inks used in
printing the bills and the calhiet's signature.
i It is luppofed these forgeries were committed
in some of the Southern States, all the coun
ter feus thai have appeared, have come from
thence, t»nd tfco perious have been apprehend
ed in Virginia, on lufpicion of being the author
of them.
The Reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Perlon or Perlons who ihall
difcovei and profecuie to con vision the ieveial
, offenders of ihe following delciiptions or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufa&ured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The per<ou or peifons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
tvery person who has a&ed as a principal in
r) any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said bilis.
' Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794,
Other counterfeit bills
d of the Bank of the United States have appeared
in circulation.
r The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS,and the alphabetical mark is the let
a ter B.
■ They may be distinguished fronj the genu
ine by the following MARKS f
The paper of the counterfeits is of 2c more
tender texture and glofley furface than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
Tiae letter C. in the word Cashier, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an uofinifhed slate. The
letter a in the word demand, is badly formed
and the whole word ill done, is no
comma at the ehd of it, as there is in the
* genuine bills.
The marginal device, is mwch daiker in
3 the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
j the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer
together, and consequently much more nu
merous. This difference ft 1 ikes the eye at firft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, iz
, prolecuting to convi&ion the several abvve
described Offenders in refpe& tp this, as to
the last described bills.
