Art. 12: [ ] [Silver Notes... Gold Notes Colour] to the Gold Notes 3
In practice The convenience of the separation resulting from this
distinction will in practice be found too great to be
despised. Upon the absence or presence of facilities
thus trifling in appearance the good or ill much
of a plan of this sort may be found to turn. Whether
the small notes issued by the Bank of England
within these few years should be for periods
or guineas £ is a question that at first
would appear indifferent enough. As it happened
they were made for pounds: conformity to the
other terms of the sums which are all for pounds
being the obvious and apparently very sufficient reason
in favour of the choice. But It has however
been disapproved of by men of the first conscience as
the political and commercial line, who are have
declared themselves decidedly of opinion that notes for
one and two guineas would have been much more
convenient, so much so as that, in that event the
circulation of these smaller branches of the currency
would have been much more extensive.
By an a invention which is just coming into
use a very splendid and distinguishable yellow
colour is given to paper, the colour being mixed
up it is said with the composition materials of the paper
at the paper-makers, not afterwards.
Where so much depends upon convenience, no
points, by which general convenience can in any
degree be affected, can justly be regarded as trifling
ones.
