The addit tion of maps of the feverai testa.-, procured, a very great expenle, and from the belt materials that are attainable, speaks such full convuflion on this fubjeft, that it would be difrefpaft to the read er's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps beenever introduced. The emendationsand additions which are made in this work,are innumerable,and occur in every page.

Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of t United States. ALL thai have appeared havs the letter F. tor their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than thelVl. and other letters of lh<it word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M would extend' considerably aboye the range of the whole word. In the word Un ted the letters are nar rower andclofer together than tilt lift of tlie bill. The i and fin the word promise are not parallel, the/inclining much inure forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the ftrokesof all the Letters are tbonger qnd the devi ein themargin particularly ismucli coatfer and appears darker shan in the true bills. Some counterfeits bear daie in ' 79 I heieas the Bai-;k was not in opera tion till December, and uo five dollai bills were iffiieri in ihat year. Twetlty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. tor their alphabetical mark. They are printed on. a paper nearly fimi iar to that of the counterfeit Five Doiiar Notes above described $ the engraving is b' iter executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The.fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in num ber th rteen in the genuine bills, and Hwt twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the fame word in the Five Dollar Bills as deferibed above, the e being iefs than the ju, and o thers, following. There is no stroke to the / inthe word North whereas in ihe genuine bills theftioke is well defined. The letters cnt in the word Txventy, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, hut are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and they going below them. The signature 1 Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with . lamb-black and oil, and differs irr m other inks ulcd in printing thf bills and the cashier's figna tqre. It is supposed thefc forgeries were commit*, ted in fomeofthe. Southern.

Philadelphia, March 28, *794 * ■April 22, 1794, Other counterfeit bills of the Bank ol the United States have ap peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical maik is the letter B. They may be ditiinguiflied from the g<-.- nuine by the following MARKS : The paper ot the counterfeits is of a more ter.der texture and glotley furt'ace than the genuine, and there is 110 water mark in them. The lett er C. in the word Cashier, in he true bills is strongly niaikrd, wheieas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an uofinifhed ltate. Jhe letter aio the woid demand, is badly formed and tie whole wotci ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as j there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much daiker in the falfe, than in (he genuine bills <»w ---lnSnS t0 Hiade strokes being coat fe», much nearer together, and con.fequer.tly much nioie nnnieroir..
