are the better adapted
to this purpose the
more regular the
receipts, and the
less frequent the
periods.

Observations. The more regular the receipt, and the
larger the masses received are in proportion to the total
income of the year, the better adapted they are to the
purpose of the proposed temporary instrument employment. Stock
Dividends stand in occupy the highest step point of the scale:
professional profits, where accumulation is out of
the case the lowest. The weekly pay of a Labourer
would afford him no inducement to take out Annuity Note paper
in the price of issue, unless in case of hoarding: but in the way of circulation it would at least be upon with cash

of same reason
as the
amount is calculated

The amount of the sums which, having been
received in the shape of capital, are susceptible
of the proposed temporary employment, are altogether
unsusceptible of calculation. In the course of the
year it is probably much to of the sums is it greater or less than that of the sums of
received and kept for the purpose of current expenditure?
