If the situation which enabled a man to keep
the annuity in question till he would find another
person able and willing in a situation to take it off his hands even
in any degree a peculiar one, the assurance of
being able to pass the note for the value of it as
soon as invested might be imperfect, and the note
not capable qualified to gain a footing in the circulation
but under a discount proportioned to the degree of uncertainty
supposed degree of uncertainty: bit but the truth is, that
without any exception that for the purpose in
hand and be taken into the account, the situation in question it is common
to him with all the world. If but one
out of ten or twenty of thirty three in the
a mans neighbours there be but a single one whose
situation it suits to take the note off his hands.
it is sufficient for the purpose of currency, as
universal experience — testifies: out of ten persons of all sorts that a man
meets, there will not be one perhaps who will
be at the same time able and willing to give him
change for a guinea: out of twenty there will not
be one who is at both once able and willing to give
him change for a £10 Bank Note. Yet this does
not hinder a guinea from circulating for its
value in silver: nor even a £10 Bank Note
from circulating passing for the whole £10, without a discount;

yielded an interest besides?
