bear the scrutiny Of the practiced eye, but it is
well enough executed to deceive many persons,
even among those accustomed to handle money.
The paper, however, is too th; n to take well the
large amount of ink usually employed to print
the promises to paw OF the United States. The
engraving, compared with that Of the genuine

true from the false is by the paper, which has
