Excerpt from How to Detect Counterfeit Bank Notes: Or, an Illustrated Treatise on the Detection of Counterfeit, Altered and Spurious Bank Notes, With Original Bank Note Plates, Engraved Expressly for the Work, by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch Edson, Bank Note Engravers, of New York
IN presenting the third edition of this small volume to the public, I have found no occasion to modify or ex punge any of the principles laid down in the earlier editions; on the contrary, I have received gratifying evidence, not only of their practicability, but also of the facility with which pupils, through their instrumentality, became, in a short time, accurate judges of bank notes.
Since the first edition was issued, various efforts have been made by bank-note engravers to prevent, if possi ble, the counterfeiting and altering of bank notes; and with, I regret to say, very indifferent success. The truth is, that bank-note engraving has been carried to such a degree of perfection in this country, that it may well be questioned whether it is susceptible of much further improvement. As I stated, however, in the earlier editions of this treatise, and wish to state again.
