2. A mode that might appear eligible in
a certain point of view in first sight, is —
and as recommended in some degree by precedent, is —
the taking pitching upon a note of a certain
size, and paying off at an
size, viz: that size of which there the amount
of the issue, whether in quantity or in number, were
the least, and paying off all notes of that size.
because the d this size being least in demand
could best be spared. But this mode would be
open to several objections
1. The chances would be many to one against
any exact correspondence between the sum at
command for paying off, and the amount of
Annuity note paper which upon this plan
would be to be paid off.
2. With reference to the persons actually demanding
and purchasing it, this note size
of which there was less had been sold would be as convenient
as any other size of which ther a greater
quantity had been sold: so that the performance
would be attended with no advantage
3. Accident, and not experienced convenience
would in good measure determine in the first instance the comparative
quantities sold of the different sizes
offered to sale: by the Register the proportional
sale as between the size and size would be
known to every body: a size of which the
quantity sold had happened to be small at first
would thus be avoided for under the apprehension
of its being soonest paid off: although had it not had
been thus for this apprehension it might have been more
convenient, and had accordingly a greater sale than some others.
