The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty \
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
several of which have appeared in circiclation
within a few days jhaft ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diftingui/hed by the following
MARKS.
; Five Dollar Bills of the Bank the
| - United States.
\ ALL that have appeared hav? the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
| The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
s the genuine paper.
, The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con.
fiderably above the range of the whole word,
s In tht word United the letters are narrow.
> erand cloffer together than the reft of the bill
The i and Jin the word promise are not
parallel, the J inclining much more forward
than the i.
1 The engraving is badly executed,the strokes
n of all the Letters are stronger and the device
c in themargin particularjy is much coarlcr and
° appears darker than in the true bills; Some
h at the counterfeits bear date in J 791 —Where-
in as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and no five dollar bills were issued in
ihat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
0 America.
>° ALL that have appeared have the letter
>0 B for their alphabetical mark.
)0 Tl>ey are printed on a paper nearly similar
;G to that of the counterfeit Five Doilai Notes
>0 above described ; the engraving is exe
ucted, and they approach neater to the ap
'° pearance of the genuine bills.
o The fine ruled lines through the word Twen-
J0 (v, in the body of the bill, are m number th r
)Q teen in the genuine b.lls, and but twelve in
__ the counterfeits.
)0 The word Company is much l ike the fame
)0 word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
-50 bove, the 0 being lels than them, and others
— following.
50 There is no stroke to the t in the word North
n- whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
s, defined.
ly T*he letters ent in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do 'noi come down to
SI. the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular
g* appearance to the word, the 1 w and go
of ing below them.
10 The fignatuie J. Nixon, has the appear
be ance of being written with lamb-black and
01, and differs from Other inks used in
nt printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
r y It is supposed these forgeries were committed
er in lorne of the Southern Slates, as all the coun-
Ilt rerfcits thai have appealed, have come from
1 hence, and two periods have been apprehend
ed in Virginia,on (ufpicion of being the author
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Perlon or Persons who shall
discover and prolecute to conviction the/lever al
offenders of the following defci iptions or any
of them, viz.
The person or pcrfons, who manufa£fured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or peitons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every perf >n who has a£ted as a principal in
any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said bills.
Pniladelphia, 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
ter B.
They may be diftinguiflied from the genu
ine by the following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
tend r texture and glofley fur face than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
Ttee letter C. in the word Cashier, in the
true bills is ftrorigly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
itroke, evidently in an unfinifhed state. 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 there is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much daiker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the shade strokes being coarferj much nearer
together, and consequently much move nu
merous. This difference ft; ikes the eye at fit ft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, &
profecuiting to conviction the several above
described Offenders in refpe<st to this, as to
the last described bills.

THE grand principle df Equality, if right

univerfa! justice, sacred order', and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
elTay, at the fame time that it reprelfes the
itrfojeiice of aflice, the tyranny ofpride, a-<>d
the outrages of oppreftTon ; confirm®, in the
mpft forcible manner, the neceiHty of subor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loosening the 41
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil diftinftion,
draws more clol'ely every social 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,-and of a com
