It is wholly unnecalTary to expatiate on the advantage,to American readers, that this edition pofiefies, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addit tion of maps of the fe ve*al teftas, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, speaks such fuil cohvuftion on this fubjeft, that it would be difrefpeft to the read er's understanding to suppose it recfuifite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such 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 z flight (ketch of a few of them. The publifirer takes the present oppor tunity of returning his molt sincere thanks to those refprftable characters who have favored him with documents for improv ing the maps of several of the states He ' requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes ihat such public f'pirited citizens, as are poffefled of iimilar documents, will favor him with theirafliftatice in perfect- < ing his undertaking. , <v !

Marth 18. tuff The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bill; of the Bank of tbe United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank ofAorth America, several of which ha-ve appeal : in circulation within a few days pajl; are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be dijlinguijhed by the thl lowing MARKS. Five Dollar Bills of tbe Bank of ti 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 freely than the genuine paper. The O. m the word Company ij 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 whole word. In the word United the letters are nar. rower andclofer together than the reft of the bill. The i and fin the word protnife are not parallel, the/inclining much more forward than the >. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letter! stronger and the device in themargin particularly ismuch coaifcr and appears darker than in the true bills* Some el the counterfeits bear daie in 1791 —Whereas the Bank was not in opera. tion till December, ai.d 110 five dollar bills ' were iflued in jhat year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter JB. for tjieir alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly fitni lar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to. the appearance of thetgenuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty y in the body of ihe bill, are \tv num 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 defcribeil above, the o being less than the m t and o thers following. There is no ft rake-to the /in the word North whereas in the genuine bills theftroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to tbe word, the Tw and the y going below them. The signature Nix-on, has the appear ance ot being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in pruning the bills and the caihier's ligna ture. It is supposed these forgeries Were commit- Efd in some of ihe Southerly States, as all- the thai have appeared, have com Trom thence, and two peifons have been prthended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL LARS w ill be paid to any Person or Persons Who shall discover and profccutc 10 convic tion the several offenders ot the following or any of them, viz. T he person or ptrfons, who manufaQui* ed the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the. plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every perfpn who has as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and: uttering the laid bills. Philadelphia, Match 28, 179*4 April 22, 1794* Other counterfeit bills of the Bank oi the United States have ap peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY [ DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be diQinguifhed from the nuine by the so! owing MARKS : , The paper ot ihe counterfeits is of a more tender texture a/id glolTey furface than the genuine, and there is no water f mark in them. The letter C. in the word Calhipr, in he true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair ttroke, evidently in an uniinifhed state. The. letter a in the woid demand, is badly formed and the whole -wold ill dqne and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. rhe marginal device, is much darker in the falfe, than in the genuine bills ow ing to the shade strokes being coaifer, much nearer together, and cpnfequently ninth f more numerous. This difference strikes ihe { eye at fir ft view. The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, win be paid for apprehending* r prosecuting to conviiftion the several above described Offenders in islpeft to this, as to t|>e last dcfcribed bills. , THOMAS WILLING, Prefidebt of the Bunk United Stato; ; JOHN NIXON.
