Finely engraved frontispiece view of Poughkeepsie; iv, (3) 51, (1), 20 pages; 4 finely engraved plates of bank note designs; woodcut illustrations.

The 1865 second edition, considerably enhanced by the four fine plates of bank note designs engraved by the New York Bank Note Company, and also by the profusely illustrated twenty-page article on the American Bank Note Company, bound in at the end, which originally appeared in the February, 1862 issue of Harper s New Monthly Magazine. In a 1987 Coin World article, written mainly about Eastman Business College bank notes, Fred Reed asserts that this 1865 work was actually written by the founder of the college and "is, in fact, a reissue of his 1858 text published as MONEY! Eastman s Treatise on Counterfeit, Altered and Spurious Bank Notes published for use in his abortive St. Louis school." McKerchar 221. Sigler 2810. Seller Inventory # 7183
