It is wholly unneceflary to expatiate on the advantage,to American readers, that tfi'is edition poffeffesj over every imported •dition of any fyfterh of Geography extant. The addit tion of maps of the fe vwal testa;, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, fpe;iks such full convktjon on this fubjeft, that it would be difrefpeft to the read «r's understanding to suppose' it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its . fu'periority. In no similar work have fucU maps baenever introduced. The eraendationsand additions which are made in this work,are innumerable,and occur In ivery page.

Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F.. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freeiy than 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 ihe - • O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the wbple word, 111 the word United the letters are nar. rower andclofer together than the reft 0 f the bill. The i and /in the word promise are not parallel, the /inclining much more lorwar J than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the letters are ftroriger and the devi: e in thetnargin particularly j sm uch coaifer and appears darker than in the true iills. Some et the counterfeits bear date in t 791— Whereas the Bank was not in opera, ion till December, and no five dollar bills vere iflued in jhar year. T \venty Dollar Bills of thr Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B-, for their alphabetical 'mark. They are printed on a paper nearly fimi lartothat ol the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above defer/bed ; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the wore} Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in nun>- ber thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the fame word in the Five Dollar Bills as deferibed above, the 0 being less than the m t and o thers following. There is no stroke to the / in the word North whereas in the genuine bills theftrojt# is welj defined. The letters rnt in the word Twenty, to the left tyand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tzv and ihey going below them. The lignature ] . Nixon, has the appear ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and diners irom other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's ligna ture. It is supposed these forgeries were commit ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits thai have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ep prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to convic. tion the several offenders of the following decryptions or any of ikm, viz. T he person or persons, who manufa&ur ed the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bilk. Every pertpn who has a&ed as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the (aid bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794 April 22, 1794, Other counterfeit bills of the Bank ol tlie Uniied States have ap peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark ii the letter B. They may be distinguished from the ge nuine by the following MARKS : The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glofiey furface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in lie ti lie bills is strongly marked, whereas tn the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hairftroke, evidently in an unfmiflied Irate. The letter p in the word demand, is badly formed ancl the whole word ill done and there is no comma at theend of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the falfe, than in the genuine bills ow- I'HJ to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at fir ft view. The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the ieveral above described Offenders in refpeft to this, as to the Jaft described bills.
