Aware of the manner in which to a degree beyond
my power of estimation the scheme would could not but be prejudicial
to the interests of the Bank of England, the success never had the <add>ultimate adoption</add> of the
scheme had from the first been regarded by bus
scheme presented itself to me as standing in the scale of
probability much above the point of
hopelessness. Not so
much as one guinea would I have given to receive a hundred
in one of success. But in comparison of the
advantage in that event which
presented itself to my eyes, the offering I cast cast as above into the Treasury was but a mite!
As Supposing the establishment of this currency, what
use or demand there could be for Bank paper I neither saw
nor saw found any reason for being anxious to enquire.
But the particular interest of that corporation is in
a way now understood which is not now a secret to any body
when seen truth to all eyes
understood with the interest of subservient to the most insatiable
of all lusts the lust of ambition power and in that way
inseparably linked and interwoven with that not only with
the sinister interest of any administration br but thence with every
the minutest fibre of the sinister interest of the ruling
few.
To have supposed the Bank would leave any imaginable
stone unturned that could present a possibility of crushing it
it would have been crushing it most would have been
an
among the most unpardonable of all weaknesses.
