Among many reasons why engraving Is no'
a check upon coun,erleits are tie following.
lse. The general knowledge of the art, whIca
is acquired by little practice, and the small tx
pence Of obtaining few neceary tools have
made it extremely easy fer the counterleiIsf to
possess himself with plates.
I'd. The difference between bills of the same
determination which are issued from lhc B4nEsI'
very obviors. The counterfeit imitation Is often
as near the original as impressions from the Sc.
cond plate, necessarily renewed, in consequence OF
the first having been worn out; OF course, team
only be discovered at the banks by their private
checks.
Cd. The great variety Of engraved plates IS
such that people cannon rccoilecs the dif'IeH'
devices. Five dollar bills have been altered 10
fifty, and passed, though entirely different IN
form.
4th. The very small expense OF plates ana aP'
paIatus for finishing them.
