PREFACE.
MANY collectors of the paper money issued by the American
Colonies and the Continental Congress, have felt the need of a
work  that would assist them  in forming  their collections, by
giving  them  some knowledge of the actual existence of the
different notes.  The works that have previously been issued on
this subject have given the date and denomination of the different notes known  to have been issued, but have furnished  no
information as to what notes were really attainable.
The author of this work has carefully examined all collections
that were available, and while of course there may be errors of
omission, he still trusts that his efforts will supply, partially, a
need that has long been felt, and hopes that it will be of considerable assistance to those forming collections; and, if he meets
with sufficient encouragement in this new field, will issue at a
later date a work upon a larger and more detailed scale, with
more plates of the rare and valuable, or interesting notes.*
" All notes mentioned in this work are known to be in collections, and no matter how
rare, there is a chance, however slight, at some time to obtain them.

The author takes this opportunity of thanking those who have
assisted him in the colmpilement of this work, which has rendered
his task an easier one than it would otherwise have been; particularly is this the case in the assistance kindly furnished by
MR. JOHN C. BROWNE, of this city.
The illustrations in this volume are reproduced from the original notes by the photozincographic process, by Mr. F. A. WENDEROTH, of Philadelphia.
