Art. 17.
A consideration that can not but present itself
at the very instant on the character of an objection,
is — that in an imposition even to the small
amount is in one case a tax of and percent
upon the payment pretended to be made — in another and in this
case, a tax of 80 per cent, 25 per cent, 12 1/2
per cent and so on perpetually.
The answer is that is it really would be, were
the for to be repeated upon each one of whatever
number of ld notes, shilling notes, 2 d notes, and
so forth nom the same individual sent in for payment
at the same time, but that this should be the
case is by no means necessary. For this an fee
of a farthing it might be ordained that on a certain
quantity mass of
Annuity Note paper (number of upon a sum
account of th. total value and number of notes conferring that valuing
taken together into the account) the interest
might be at the same time by the same person
at the same time: By the suppose for example for
a scrap of small notes making up amongst them
the value of the Standard Note £12:16, or the
half of it. By this means the apprehended embarassment
and vexation would be obviated and prevented,
and the value even of the smallest note kept
unimpaired.
