Annuity Notes

Beginning

The object of the present Plan is — to extend
the market for Government Annuities, by opening
it to two classes of — to two very extensive
classes — of Customers who at present are
have hitherto stood excluded from it — viz: the possessors of small
(though permanent) sums: — and the possessors
of temporary sums, more or less considerable.

A To a first view an objection, and that a
very decisive one, presents itself — viz: that no
the supposition on which the whole plan is founded which is the ground work of the whole is erroneous
such exclusion exists: that the supposition of such,lb/> an exclusion is erroneous— for that there is no
in point of fact—for that no such exclusion exists
quantity of Stock, how small soever, which that a man
may not be sure of purchasing at any time —
and — what is more — of selling again — if he pleases.
He may buy a farthing's worth of that if
he pleases; and, if he pleases, sell it the same
day: and though this is not customary, yet what
is customary is — to buy it in farthings worths
when if tacked to the tail of greater sums: so that
there is no sum, how fractional soever, which
the market does not, in its present state,
afford a man the means of purchasing and
selling as often as he pleases.
