GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing.

These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B.

Persons concerned are hereby informed, that all such should be addressed either to W. Deakins jun. of Washington, or to the Subscriber.

One thousand Dollars  REWARD. Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately disco- vered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back-parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D. for their alphabe- tical mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up by the hand, to the sum of one more or less at pleasure. No. 10. Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately is- sued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dol- lars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz. The person or persons, who engraved the bills. Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. WILLIAM PATTERSON, President of the Bank of Maryland. Bmo, April 8, 1794.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past, and are good general imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the fol- lowing  M A R K S. 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 freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that size, is that a line extended from the top of the 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 closer and closer together than the rest of the bill. The r and f in the word promise are parallel, the f inclining much more for- ward than the r.
The engraving is badly executed, and the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in exis- tence till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter A. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly sim- ilar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better 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 thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the genuine in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the O being less than the M, and a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. There is no stroke from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. in the genuine bills, but in the counterfeits it is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty are on the left hand at the bottom, do not extend down to the line, but are cut as if to give an irregular appearance to the word, and the y is going below the line. The signature J. Nixon has the appear- ance of being written with an unsteady hand, and differs from the signature of the same person in the genuine bills, and the counterfeits are printed on the same paper as the Five Dollar Bills. It is supposed these counterfeits were manu- factured in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- 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 conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufac- tured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794. April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark the letter B. They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier than the genuine, and there is no watermark in them. The letter C. in the word Cash is the true bills is strongly marked, while in the counterfeits, the whole letter is the hair stroke, evidently in an unsteady hand. The letter a in the word date is badly formed and the whole word and there is no comma at the end of here is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much in the false, than in the genuine to the shade broken being counter- feiter together, and consequently more numerous. This difference will be at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehen- sion and prosecution to conviction of the above described Offenders in the same manner as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank of North America. JOHN NIXON, Vice President. Bank of North America. By order of the Committee of the Executive Board.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved. THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing. The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary- land, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Caro- lina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.

The following section of the law for establishing an Health-Office, &c. passed the last session of the Legislature, is re-published for the information of all concerned. Wm. ALLEN, Health-Officer, for the port of Philadelphia, No. 21, Key's alley. June 2, 1794. Sec. 7. AND be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every matter or captain of any ship or vessel coming from beyond the sea (vessels actually employed in the coasting trade of the United States excepted) and bound to any port or place within the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, shall cause his ship or vessel to be brought to anchor, or otherwise stayed in the stream of the river Delaware, opposite to the health-office on State-Island aforesaid, and there to remain until he shall have duly obtained a certificate or bill of health from the resident physician, in the manner and upon the terms herein be- fore directed: and if, previously to obtain- ing such certificate or bill of health, any master or captain shall suffer his ship or vessel to approach nearer than the said health-officer to the city of Philadelphia, or shall land, or cause or suffer to be landed, or brought on shore, at any port or place within this com- monwealth, or at any other port or place, with the intent to be conveyed into this com- monwealth, any goods, wares or merchandise; or if after re- ceiving such certificate or bill of health, he shall neglect or refuse to deliver the same to the health-officer agreeably to the directions of this act, such master or captain shall for- feit and pay, for each and every such offence, the sum of five hundred dollars to be recover- ed and appropriated as herein after provided and directed; and the captain or master of each and every ship or vessel, as soon as the same is brought to anchor, or otherwise stayed as aforesaid, shall send a safe and commodious boat to bring the resident physician on board of his ship or vessel, and shall in like man- ner convey him back to the health-officer after he has concluded his official examina- tion; and while he is making such examina- tion, or in case of any subsequent examination by the health-officer and consulting physician, as the case may be, each and every part of the ship or vessel, and shall present to his view each and every person on board thereof, and shall also true and satisfactory answers make to all such questions as the resident physician at the time of examination, or the health offi- cer at the time of delivering the certificate, or bill of health, in the city of Philadelphia, or at the time of examination to be had by the health-officer together, with the consulting physician shall ask relative to the health of any port or place from which the ship or vessel sailed, or has since touched at, the number of persons on board when the ship or vessel en- tered on her voyage, the number of persons that have since been landed or taken on board; and when or where respectively, when persons on board, if any have been during the voyage, or shall at any time of examination, be infected with any pestilential or contagi- ous disease, what person belonging to the ship or vessel, if any died during the voyage, and of what disease, and what is the present state and condition of the persons on board with respect to their health and diseases; and if any captain or master of any ship or vessel shall refuse to expose the same as aforesaid to the search and examination of the resident physician, or of the health-officer and consul- ting physician, as the case may be; or if, hav- ing on board his ship or vessel any such per- son or persons, he shall conceal the same, or in any manner whatsoever he shall knowing- ly deceive or attempt to deceive the proper officers aforesaid in his answers to their official enquiries, such captain or master, for each and every such offence, shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars, to be re- covered and appropriated as hereinafter pro- vided and directed; and wherever the resi- dent physician, or consulting physician, as the case may be, shall direct any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise to be landed at the health-office, or any ship or vessel to be detained opposite thereto, and there to be smacked, cleaned and puri- fied, the captain of the ship or vessel shall in all respects conform to such directions shall at the proper cost and charge of his em- ployers carry the same into effect within such reasonable time as the resident physician, or consulting physician, as the case may be, shall allow and prescribe; and if any master or captain shall refuse or neglect to conform to these said directions, and to carry the same into effect as aforesaid, according to the re- spective objects thereof, he shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars for each and every offence, to be recovered and appro- priated as is hereinafter provided and direct- ed.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitations of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the fo- lowing  M A R K S. 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 freely 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 the 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 more narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel; the f inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in opera- tion till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly simi- lar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better 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 twelve in the counterfeited bills, and but eleven in the genuine. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the O being less than the M, and the others following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke 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 the word, the Tw and the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature. It is supposed these forgeries were commit- ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- 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 descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794.  Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of 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 distinguished from the ge- nuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word will done is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the Re- spective Boards.
