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.

' 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.
