Excerpt from Heath's Infallible Counterfeit Detector at Sight: The Only Infallible Method of Detecting Counterfeit, Spurious, and Altered Bank-Notes, and Applicable to All Banks in the United States and Canadas, as Now in Circulation, or That May Be Issued In presenting a third revised edition of the Counterfeit De tector to the public, I wish to add a few remarks enabling the reader more fully to understand its import. Having had unlimited experience in the detection of counterfeit and altered bank-notes, I felt the necessity of placing this knowledge within the reach of all; and during the regime of the old State Bank ing System I issued my first work, which met with such favor from the public, that it reached the enormous sale of twentv five thousand copies, and would have exceeded this number had not the whole currency of the country been changed to treasury notes, known as greenbacks, or legal-tenders, and national bank-bills. This change gave apparent security for a time; but hopes of safety were suddenly dispelled by the appearance in our midst of counterfeit treasury notes, so nicely executed that they were received by our leading banks as genuine notes. This, together with the numerous and dangerous counterfeits of the new national currency, induced the author to apply to the Secretary of the United States Treasury for certain cuts and dies used on the legal - tenders and other' national bills. The officers of the leading Bank Note Engraving Companies were consulted upon the subject, and after a thorough investigation permission was granted, on condition that the dies should be so mutilated as to prevent all possibility of counterfeiters mak ing any use of them in their nefarious business, and yet pre serving the symmetry of the work.
