Ch. 2. Form Notes [12] Propriety of employing the Kings name — though not employ'd in an Exchequer Bill [12] [... His Majesty's Exchequer] In the whole case of the
form of an Exchequer Bill, or circumstances remarkable
enough is — that in the whole tenor of
the instrument no mention of the regal office—
— no recognition of the sovereign authority of which that of the
Auditor is but an is any where happens any where to
be found: to present itself: — for the mention of it unavoidably
included in the reference of to the Act of
Parliament is scarce to be regarded as an can scarcely be quoted in this view
instance. tThe duration of sort of annuity there in question being
so fugitive, whole in the present instance it
is capable of being may eventually be perpetual, the omission of this
constitutional homage is not, it is true, of so
much importance as there it would be here. If the
credit of the paper here proposed to be created
was to be regarded as capable of outliving
the regal authority, it would not be an so far from being an additional advantage in
the eye of a loyal subject be an ad a defect.
For among the effects of the proposed
measure an advantage, which, though a collateral
one, is surely not among the last considerable
ones, is — the extending to the lower inferior that is to
the most numerous classes of the people, that interest
in the continuence of inherant peace and quietness happiness,
which as far as property in the existing
funds extends is already possessed by their
superiors.
Note
(a) Apply this to the case of British India:
where, the natural bonds of connection between governors
and governed being so much the weaker, the demand
for factitious lies, for every lie that can be decisive,
is so much the more urgent
