1818 April 15 Annuity Notes Advertisement
In the one of the Tables attached to the following ensuing plan In <add>On one of the sides of the proposed sort of note called an Annuity Note</add>
for a new currency] the reader will observe a place marked
out for a portrait. A portrait of the human face had presented
itself to me as that sort of document in the framing of
with which the work of an ordinary artist might is as it
appeared to me by be most generally and do promptly be
distinguished from that of a superior one.
This idea had formed a principal feature in a
plan which some twenty years ago or thereabouts more or less I caused to
be presented to the hands of one of the Bank Directors, It
had occupied my hand for some days and my head for some a
days more somewhat longer. It had furnished handwork for some days and
head-work for some days more. All expectation of personal
advantage in any shape being out of the question, it seemed
to me that a line acknowledging the receipt would not, even
though a word of thanks had been returned for the intention, have
been too liberal a requital to be have been returned for it. No
such requital, either in black and white or so much as
by word of mouth was ever received ever came to hand.
If for so obscure a person as I have ever been and shall
ever continue to be, so high a token of regard would have been
too great an honour, there was my illustrious friend Mr Colquhoun ,
whose favourable opinion of me was not concealed from
any body, and whose hand I borrowed took the liberty of borrowing for the conveyance. of
the result of the The Gentleman’s name was Bosanquet.
Whether his plan be still in the direction — whether his plan
be still in this wretched sublunary world, I who know nobody and am
known to nobody do not know.
