Paper Mischief
more than half the utmost quantity of goods could have
been purchased with an income of £100 a year
in the year 1800 the was no more than half
the quantity of goods of the same sort that
could have been purchased with an income of
£100 a year in the year 1760, unless in
as far as a an abatement in quality was
submitted to, for the purpose of escaping a
proportional deficiency in quantity.
By the total of the sums employed in
purchases made in the years 176 1800 and
1760 respectively are is to be understood the
total of the sums employ'd in the ultimate purchases
in the made meaning the ultimate purchases of all the several individual articles of
all the several sorts in all the days of
year in all the places in Great Britain.
On the present occasion The object of inquiry being such purchases
and such purchases alone, whereby by the terms of which the effective
value of the sums of money received in
the score of income is affected – i:e: – such
purchases alone as are when if made are made
in the way of current expenditure out of income,
it follows that all other purchases may be without and ought to be thrown
out of the account: and so ought to be, if and
as far as such deduction may have the effect
of varying the effective of influence which
any addition to or deduction from the amount of
the money in circulation that is the total mass employ'd
in transfers of all sorts, may have upon the its
effective value of it in respect of such purchases
as are made (as above)
in the way of current
expenditure out of income.
