3. Form. In the framing of this Form, every point has been
attended to, the explanation of which would take up more room
than can be allotted them in the present Compressed View.
The latters references to which there are no links refer to elucidation
which will be given in the work at large; occupying
more than room than could be allotted to them in the present Compressed View.
The letters of reference refer to
Notes explanations explanatory matter, of which but a small proportion
could be inserted in the present Compressed View.
The Yearly Form, having been the first framed, is
here inserted, to shew its comparative simplicity, but, con
for the reasons mentioned in the Notes to the Plan, can not be
recommended for adoption is not proposed not to be employed.
It is placed as here 1 This compartment, not requiring to be often
turned to, is placed as it is to save the two others from being covered in the opening of the
book.
The two Portraits and the peculiar type are employd as
securities against Forgery. [14] [22] The object most difficult of imitation
to an ordinary artist is a Portrait engraved by a first-rate hand.

forgery of such a note thus guarded against.
The great quantity of Letter-press, as well as all variety of type employ'd, places the given, given — information in
the plan information where it is most useful, and increases renders the task of a the
forgery so much the heavier.
For the trust purposes, such as Marriage Settlements, where the
magnitude of the sum renders it worth while, the form of the Note might
be varied so as to be divisible into three, four, or more separate parts.
The price of the plates to might be defray'd by a small extra fee
on each note. Any Exchequer Bills, though for a £1,000,

into two parts: but, yielding no interest, is not the subject
of a Settlement. Settlements of Stock require some times
onerous, always expensive formalities.
