[1][Form of a proposed.... proposed for an... Annuity note]
In what concerns the proportions, arrangement of the
matter, and other such details, the Form here submitted
will, I doubt not, be found susceptible open to considerable
improvements. At any rate, it may serve as
a sort of rough sketch and groundwork to improve
upon: and in that character
may afford hints, and
save labour, to more experienced hands.
[2] Should the extent of the proposed currency come
up to expectation — in particular should it ascend
to the level of the Silver currency, the number
of places of for the figures expressive of the No or name
of the each note, will come to be very considerable, and
the space left for their reception must will require
to be proportionally increased. This may require
some alteration variation in the mechanical arrangement of the
matter of the Notes; but in other respects, instead of
being an inconvenience, will be rather an advantage,
by affording a means of detection as against
that species of forgery which consists in the taking employing
a genuine smaller note for the purpose of converting
it intogiving it such an appearance
as shall enable it to be passed for a larger note.
