A new edition. Being a more minute and particular account of that consummate adept in deception, Charles Price, otherwise Patch, Many Years A Stock-Broker And Lottery-Office-Keeper In London and Westminster: In this Edition the whole of his various Forgeries and Frauds are circumstantially related; together with his Origin, and all the material Occurrences of his Life, equally disgraceful to human Nature, till he began that desperate Undertaking of Forgeries on the Bank of England. In the carrying on of which, he, in the most artful and surprising Manner, baffled every Mode of Detection, set on foot by the Directors and the Magistrates of Bow-Street, for a Series of Six Years. With this Edition is given, as a Frontispiece, an exact Representation of his Person, in the Disguise he wore when he negotiated his first Parcel of Counterseit Bank Notes, in the Year 1780, and likewise another Portrait of him in his usual Dress
