§. 1. Forgery in the way of Fabrication – Particular Safeguards
The invention, being spoken of held up to view by the Author
himself as in the character of light of security against forgery, may
naturally probably enough have been forwarded to your notice
in that character by the Author himself. in that view. Lest it
should not, it may be proper here to mention, that
an reprinted account of it may be seen in Nicholson's
Philosophical Journal for May 1st 1798,
No 15: being there reprinted, from a Paper circulated by the
Author Mr Professor Wilson of Glasgow with specimens which
I have seen, and heard spoken of by Artists, as being adequate to the
performance of what is promised. It is there spoken of represented in general terms as
calculated to afford a security against forgery: but in what particular way is is proposed to
operate in that character is not mentioned. "High elaboration"
"collateral embellishment" – and "peculiar manner of
some
"eminent master" – are there recommended for that purpose: in that view
but that the subject, should be the portrait of some
living person is not said –
Supposing the invention to have attained its be capable of attaining
its object (a point on which I can not take upon
me to pronounce, knowing nothing of the invention
any more than of the ingenious Author but from
the papers mentioned above) the advantage in
point of economy promises to be great indeed.
But that even without any such reduction, the
objection on the ground of expence need not be regarded
as insuperable, seems to result from the present
practice. The wear and tear upon the portrait
of a real person would not be greater than upon
the figure of an emblematical personage – an embellishment
which, for whatever purpose designed – ornament or⊞
⊞ or security – or
both – is not denied
to Bank Notes
of the very lowest
magnitude, and which
as such are probably I suppose
struck off in the greatest
number: I mean the £1 notes.
