AN ESSAY ON THE
Natural Equality of Men,
On the Rights that result from it, and oil the
Duties whicli it imposes.
To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the
Ttyierian Society at Haarleifl.
Corrected and Enlarged*
By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN,
4 one luA(llu)He volmnfj I 21110.
Profeflor of Moral Philofopby, and the Law
<>t Nature, and of Ecclef.aftical History ;
and Minister of the Eugliih Church at U-
trecht.
Aliquid Temper ad corainunem utilitatem at
fcrcm'um Cicero.
The Firjl American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if right
ly under flood, is the onLy basis on which
uoiverfai justice, sacred order, and pertett
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
eiTay, at the fame time that it reprefles the
iftfolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
the outrages of oppression ; confirms, in the
most forcible manner, the ne<eflity ol subor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loosening the
baads of society, that it maintains inviolate,
,every natural and every civil diftin&ion,
draws more clol'ely every facial 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, aud oi a com
mon relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned to

ALL tjiat have appeared have the lettfcr F.

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 theM. and other letteis of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
fide! ably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The * and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more forward
The engraving is badly executed,the ftiokes
of all the Letters are stronger and the devi-e
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appears darker than ip the true bills. Some

as the Bank was not in Operation till Decern

They are printed on a paper nearly similar

Tl»e fine ruled hues through the word Twen

The word Company is much like the fame

They may be distinguished from the genu |

The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
tender texture and glofley lurface than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in.them.
The letter C. in the word Cafhirfr, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair
stroke, evidently in an unfiniflied liate. 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 the>e is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much daiker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the (hade strokes being coarfei, much nearer
