A few clays ago we laid before otir readers a copy
of a Certificate, dated sib April. 1797. signed by
ilia first engravers in Leindol.i, stating that a speci-
men of an art. invented by Alexander Tilloclt, csl-
Enlisted greatly to lesson. if not prevent entirely,
the forgery of Bank elide,. Bills of Exchange. Ste.
had been exhibited to them • that they had ex-
amined
theinselves, that they could not make a top, of it,
nor did they believe that it could be copied by any
of the known arts of engraving; and that they
thought it highly deserving of the isttetstion of the
Bank of England, es calculated to answer the len-
rose for which it was offered.
The certificate alluded to was signed by &do-
lozgi, Heath, Fittler, Losielmer, Lowry, Sharp,
133rne, Holloway, &e. &c. Etc.
Since that time we have learnt, that come people
connected with the Batik have stated, that the pro-
posed plan ens rejeeteil by the Wink. because their
engraver lead made a perfect copy of the specimen
offered to the Batik ; and because Mr. Tillirch I • -
self had admitted that his art was not perfectly sp-
ptieuble to their system.
• The leper assertion is alsoleidy false; he has al.:
ways niaiiituineel Diet his invention was perfectly
applicable to the business of the Bank.
. As the most decisive answer to the former state-
ment, we insert the following certificates :
" Loudon 6th July, 1797.
" We whose mimes are hereunto ant:scribed du hereby
kortify, that we were called, on the 411, hely instant, to
an attempt. made at the Bank of England, to produce
b.fue simile of Mr. Tilloch's specimen of au are imbecilic.' by
hien to prevent Forgery; that two imitations, the one fr
woestl.cat, the other from a copper-plate, were then pro-
duced by Mr. Terry, the Bank engraver; that the one from
the wood-rut was eu totally unlike Mr. Tilloch's specimen,
That Mr. Tarry did not eutleavour to make it be received as
likeness, but withdrew it • and that the one from the cop-
per-plate which was produced as a copy, was so far from
twirl an exact copy, that it was not even rammed in die
same massier; Mr. Tilluels's being printed from the surface
of his work, by Butane of the letter press ; but Mr. Terry's

lion was palmlike the origami, that we may believe it by no
eiteaus probable that any person, in the habit of taking
'ask sautes would ever take the nue fur the tither. We be-
lieve that one of Mr. Terry's imitations would be easily de-
tected Smoug a theassed of Mr. Tilluirh's specimen.; and
