Ch. XVII
Who can say but that the circulation of this
paper might be of come to extend itself even

the value of this paper in exchange

The following passage is extracted from Turner's'
Account of Thibet — London 1800. 4th p. 143, "The
Narraince is a base silver coin, struck in Cooch Bahar
Bahar, of the value of about ten pence, or one third of a Sicca
rupee. The commodiousness of this small piece, the + profits the
people of Bootan derive from their commerce with Cooch Bahar,
and some local prejudices against the establishment of a Mint,
have given the narraince in these regions, as well as in those
where it is struck, a common currency, though both countries
are perfectly independent of each other, and totally different in
their language and manner." Turner's Thibet 1800 4th p. 143.

The seal or other mark of the East India
Company on their packages (I remember having one from authority that appeared unquestionable
authority) is received in China at vast distances
from our the factories s, as satisfactory evidence
of the quantities and qualities of their the contents,

It is a supposition altogether chimerical, that a similar
confidence might be brought in process of time to extend itself. [+]

+2 In Africa, in more places than one, Park (as he tells us) made a paper money out the Lord's Prayer. Might not commercial experience give at length a value, which was thus given by men. Superstition without experience?
