1818 April 15 Annuity Notes Advertisement

At the learning of For the sake of a few a few
pounds a note of what is called blood money at the risk of them are made two or three men of
low degree add two or three to the number
of individuals convicted of highway robbery in the course of
the year and all mouths are filled with exclamations
at the thoughts of such unheard of and inconceivable
atrocity. By prosecuting for forgery two men without
even the smallest risk <add> beheld each year</add> have for these last
thirteen years beheld gained upon each of 200 of their fellow men a sum
much more likely to be greater than to be less of than any sum
that in its as above was ever earned or grasped at in
the shape of blood money.

Good heavens what a calumny! Suppose though it
were but for the purpose of argument that a any gentleman
a member of so honourable a profession a gentleman so high a consular — and above all
that so high in the scale of opulence should have
in his mind any one spring of action in common
with such low and needy miscreants? Dare Serves these to
put reduce all character upon a level? What is this but a part
of that scheme which you and such as you those who think and act never cease
to pursue for applying your levelling instruments machinery to all
fortunes?

Mean time what man human being even in the highest of all
ranks ever existed who, so it were but in the regular way
of warfare — in the way of murder rapine destruction, waste depredation rapine
and murder so it were but committed upon the largest scale
ever hesitated to sacrifice lives by hundreds of thousands and
pounds of money by millions, so that in his view with or without an
uninhabited island or a desert village, honour and glory were
to be got by it?
