Paper Mischief
Turning to Part I and hastening to the practical
conclusion, the remedy proposed for the indicated grievance,
I found it consisted in an universal
refusal of "Bank Notes". The system of the
Bank of England is there accused of being a
bubble and as being "in every respect as great
"an imposition, and resting upon as sandy a
"foundation" as "the South-Sea Bubble". The
mischief of a Bubble consists in its bursting
and the Author forgetting that his object was
to prevent mischief, recommends measures for
the express and declared purpose of bringing about the mischief
– of causing the bubble of a hundred
and six years standing to burst.
In the course of it I also found that another
in regard to the Country Bankers one of the classes thus endeavoured
to be devoted consigned to perdition – not only their conduct mode of traffick
produced the joint effect of oppression, forgery fabrication of counterfeit and
robbery "by force of arms" (a proposition the truth
of which as to a certain part but no further it
is also the object of these pages likewise to bring to
view) but that their conscience also harboured the conscience of all those people his Majesty's subjects harbours
moreover the whole mass of guilt attached to that congeries
of crimes. For not only the terms of combination – depredation
robbery – and lest that should not be precise and strong
and plain precise enough – robbery by force of arms are
all along applied to them their conduct and persons without reserve – and without
without with every endeavour to fix upon them the a word in any part anywhere to cause them from any part of the
odium
