#### Abstract

In the present paper we describe a class of Gorenstein, finite and at morphism ${\varrho}$: $X{\rightarrow}Y$ of degree 6 of algebraic varieties, called Anglo-American covers. We prove a general Bertini theorem for them and we give some evidence that the cover ${\varrho}$: $A{\rightarrow}\mathbb{P}_k^2$ associated general (1, 3)-polarized abelian surface is Anglo-American.
