Descripción del artículo del vendedor

2pp., 4to. On leaf untidily torn from an album, resulting in a ragged edge with minor loss of text (a few parts of words). On aged and chipped paper. The document is headed 'Forgery of the Commercial Bank of Scotlands Guinea Note', and begins: As a few off these Forged Notes have made their appearance in Glasgow, e following directions are given to enable the public to distinguish the forged from the genuine Notes.' A detailed description follows, with small illustrations given of the shapes of the letter 'B' in forgery and genuine note, with other illustrations of a thistle both with and 'without prickles'.

No other copy traced, either on COPAC or WorldCat. The Scottish guinea note was introduced in 1758 and discontinued in 1828. The book 'Rambling Recollections of Old Glasgow' by 'Nestor' contains a reference to 'Mr. George Salmond, long Procurator-Fiscal at Glasgow', who 'kept an album, or rather nigrum, containing a collection of forged notes, with notices of the results to the persons implicated in their forgery or issue. There seldom was a Circuit in Glasgow where there were not several men or women sentenced to death for such crimes, and several expiated their offences on the scaffold'. Salmond was Procurator-Fiscal by 1826, so this item would appear to date from before then.…
