Elucidation

Portrait as a
security against
Forgery — reference
to the §§ so intitled
[3] [ Engraved Head of the Auditor of the Exchequer] For
the use of this mark, see more particularly §§ intitled Securities
against Forgery. On some of the Bank Papers, there

purpose this imaginary portrait is employ'd, whether
for mere ornament, or with a view to any such use
as above, is what I am not informed of. This I know
that the real portrait here proposed or possessed — not
for mere ornament — nor yet for flattery, but for a very
solid and substantial use, to which an imaginary one
would in a very unfair degree, if in any degree, be subservient.

assigned to the proposed Annuity Note Office

in the names of different, might of
for both purposes.

of date
a circumstance
proper to

of Paper Currency, the date being a leading circumstance belonging
to it, there is a convenience in exhibiting
it at the beginning; rather than incidentally, as
the particular occasion for speaking of the day date
happens to occur.
