A piece of The addition which a given note <add>mass of</add> money whether metallic money
or paper money adds makes to the mass of national
wealth in the compass of a year is as the

year it is paid at into a pair of any hand hands
for productive labour performed by that hand.
If this be true, it will follow that though
to each individual possessor twelve four and four &
twenty halfpence twenty shillings are worth no more than
one shilling, one guinea yet to the community at large
they are worth a good deal more — probably
several times as much. +
