It is wholly unnecefTary to expatiateon
the advantage,to American readers, that
this edition pofleflTes, over every imported
edition of any system of Geography extant.
The addittion of maps of ihc several teftat,
procured a very great expense, and from
the best materials that are attainable,
speaks fucli full convi/tion on this fubjeft,
that it would be difrefpedt to the read
er's understanding to suppose it requisite
to enter into a detail of arguments to
prove its superiority. In 110 similar work
have fucli maps bsenever introduced.
The emendationsand additions which
are made in this work,are innumerable,and
occur in every page. The public are re
ferred to the preface for a flight sketch
of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present oppor
tunity of returning; his mad sincere thanks
to tbofe refpeftable characters who have
favored him with documents for improv
ing the maps of several of the ftatcs He
fequefts a continuance of their kindness;
and hopes that foch public spirited citizens,
as are pofieired of fiinihir documents, will
favor him with theiiaffiftance in pcifert
ina his undertaking. tw
The extraordinaryencoiiragementwith -j-j
which he has been favored, has excited
in hisbreaftrthe warmest sentiments of gra- wj
titude—fentiments which time will not ef
face. He pledges himielf to the citizens
of the United States, to (pare neither pains
nor expense to render the present edition

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
7
IN TWO VOLUMES. J
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, J
Phladelphia, Author of Victoria, the In
quisitor, the Fille -de Chambre, Ac.
Of Charlotte, the Reviewers have
given the following char after. t
IT mtfy he a Tale of Truth, lor it is c
not unnatural, and it ifc a talc of real dif-
tress. Charlotte, by the artifice of a teach-
et, recommended to a school, from hnma- ,
nity rather than a conviction of her inte- c
grity, or the regularity of her former eon-
dirft, is enti-ced from her governess, and a- c
ccomjpanies a yomig officer to America. —
The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten,
is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr (
to tlie inconltancy of the over, and treach- t
ery ot his friend.—'The situations are art- t
less and descriptions natu- t
ral and pathetic ; we ftiould feel for Char-
lotte if such a perfoo ever existed, who g
for one error scarcely, perhaps, deserved
. To feveie a punishment. If it is a sic- j
tion. poetic justice is not, we think, pro- -
perly diltributed.

The Public are cautioned to s
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills
of the Bank of the United States, and
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America, fevtral of which have appeared
in circulation vithin a few days pajl; they
are " good gertral imitation of the genuine
Bills, but ma 3 be dijlinguifhed by the fol
lowing
marks.
Fi+e Dollar Ells of the Bank of the
Viited States.
I AXL that hav? appeared have the letter
I F. u>r their Alphabetical Mark.
I The Texture «f the Paper is thicker and
I whiter and it tikes the ink more freely
I than the genuinepaper.
The O. in the vord Company is smaller
I than the M. and other letters of that word,
I so that a line extended from the top of the
I O, to touch the top of the M. would extend
I considerably above the range of the whole
I word.
In the word United the letters are nar-
I rower and closer together than the reft of
I the bill.
I The i and fin theword promise are not
I parallel, the/inclining much more forward
I than the i.
I The engraving is badly executed, the
I strokes of all the Letters are stronger and
I the device in themargiii particularly ismuch
I coaifer and appears daiker than in the true
I bills. Some ot the counterfeits bear date in
I 1 791 —Whereas the Bank was not in opera-
I tion till and no five dojlar bills
I were iflued in jhat year.
I Twenty Dollar Bills of Ihe Bank of North
America,
I ALL that have appeared have the letter
I B. for their alphabetical nark.
I They are printed on a paper nearly fimi
j lar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar
I Notes above deffcribed; the engraving is
I better executed, and they approach nearer ,
I to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word
I TwentVy in the body of the bill, are in nunr-
I ber thirteen in the genuine bills, and but
I twelve in the counterfeits.
I The word Company is*nuchlike the fame
[ word in the Five Dollar Bills as dcfcribcd
| above, the o being less than the m, and o-
I thers following. r
I There is no stroke to the / inthe word
I North whereas in the genuine bills thefboke
I is well defined.
I The letters ent in the word Tucnty y to
I the left hand at the bottom, do not come
I down to the line, but are so cut as to give
I an irregular appearance to the word, the
I Tzv ar*d ibey going below them.
The signature 1. Nixon, has the appear-
I ance of being written with lamb-black and
J oil, and differs from other inks used in
I printing she bills and the cashier's figna*
I ture.
It is supposed these forgeries were commit
! ted in some of the Southern States, as all the
I counterfeits thai have appeared, have come
I from thence, and two persons have been ap-
I piehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being
I the author of them.

I LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons
I who shall difcovei and prosecute to
I tion the fcveral offenders of the following
I de*Wiptions or any of them, viz.
I The person or pt who manufafhir-
