New York, Nov. 17th, 1849.--Having taken lessons in counterfeit Bank Note Detection, as given by Mr. H. C.

It has the advantage of being reduced to system, and the information imparted respecting genuine engraving is worth double the cost of lesson.

Notices by the Press of the “Universal Counterfeit Detector.”

“COUNTERFEIT BANK-NOTE DETECTOR AT SIGHT.”--We have seen a little pamphlet of 20 pages, by H. C. Foote, of 763 Greenwich-street, N. Y., with this title. It gives eight rules, with illustrative diagrams, by an acquaintance with which, any person may readily distinguish the engraving of a counterfeit bill from a genuine one--founded upon the principle that no counterfeiter, working with his hand, can possibly attain the beauty and accuracy of engraving by the perfect and costly machinery of professional engravers. The difference between the two is shown by the diagrams. The writer says he has never seen a counterfeit which a judgment by these rules would not condemn at sight. Well-informed dealers in Bank Notes usually act upon this principle, but Mr. Foote has here attempted to give rules and explanations to render it more clear and easily understood, and by which every man may judge for himself. Its price is $2. We think, with Mr. Edmonds, Cashier of the Mechanics’ Bank, N. Y., that it will be “exceedingly serviceable to any one who will give it due attention.”--Newark Daily Advertiser.

COUNTERFEIT DETECTOR.--Our readers will notice in another column the advertisement of H. C. Foote’s Universal Counterfeit Detector. We have examined the system, and have no hesitation in stating that it will do more than all others now in use towards ridding the country of counterfeit notes. The instructions which accompany the magnifying glass will enable a person, with very little trouble, to determine between good and bad notes. We notice among those who have recommended the system, the names of F. W. Edmonds, Esq. Cashier of the Mechanics’ Bank, N. Y.; E. H. Arthur, Esq. of the Union Bank; C. S. Sloane, Broker, Wall street, and many other prominent money dealers. From what we can learn, we should think it a subject of universal interest.--Scientific American.

🖙 H. C. Foote has published a little book of 20 pages, called the Counterfeit Note Detector. It seems to us to contain much important information for the detection of counterfeit Paper-money.--New York Express, November 24.

TO DETECT COUNTERFEITS.--We have been made acquainted with a very valuable method of detecting counterfeit Bank Notes at sight, which may be learned by any one in one hour. The author is Mr. H. C. Foote, No. 763 Greenwich-street, N. Y.--New York Sun, November 6th, 1849.

“THE UNIVERSAL COUNTERFEIT DETECTOR.”--Mr. H. C. Foote, of 763 Greenwich-street, has just published a pamphlet, entitled as above, small in size, but exceedingly useful; a familiarity with the contents of which will render every one fully competent to detect any counterfeit or altered Bank Note at sight. From an examination into the system we are convinced that the knowledge derived from the little work in question will be of essential interest to every tradesman, and we therefore commend it to their attention and consideration. By an advertisement in another column it will be perceived that Mr. Foote will give lessons in his system, to all who may desire it.--New York Atlas, February 3d, 1850.

Water Cure Institute, Saratoga Spa, Sept. 12th. 1849.--TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:--The bearer, Henry C. Foote, is a young gentleman of unexceptionable moral character, of excellent business habits, of strict integrity, and is scrupulously honest. He professes nothing he is not competent to perform. The business he is now engaged in is, and must be, of great individual and public benefit, and a direct means of preventing men from attempting to prey upon the community by fraud. If all that handle money had the knowledge of detecting spurious Bank Notes at sight, the trade would become extinct. Mr. Foote can impart this knowledge in one hour to any person of ordinary observation. We most heartily commend him and his art to the public.

W. A. HAMILTON, M.D.

“THE UNIVERSAL COUNTERFEIT AND ALTERED BANK-NOTE DETECTOR” explains a method for the infallible detection of counterfeit notes. It is highly recommended by experienced bankers, and with its clear descriptions of the essential points in a genuine note, cannot fail to be of great practical value.--New York Tribune, Aug. 21st, 1850.
