The Sixth edition much improved, being a more minute and particular account of that arch-impostor, Charles Price Otherwise Patch, otherwise Wilmot, otherwise Powel, otherwise Brant, &c. &c. &c. 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, including that desperate undertaking of forgeries on the Bank of England. In the carrying on of which, he, in the most artful and surprising manner, [defied] every mode of detection, set on foot by the directors and the magistrates of Bow-street, for a series of six years. With the edition is given, as a frontispiece, an exact representation of [his] person, in the disguise he wore when he negotiated his his first parcel of counterfeit bank notes, in the year 1780, and likewise another portrait of him in his usual dress
