[22][Portrait from an engraving on wood]
The note being, for the purposes already
mentioned [note ] made divisible into two parts,
it may be of use that each should have its portrait
that whatever degree of security against forgery
the portrait may be capable of affording
should be
possessed by each. The principal portrait being
from a of an engraving in metal or some other such material
as requires a rolling press to work it off,
it may be of use that the additional portrait
should be from an engraving in wood. The reason
is that the two branches of the art are in practice effect
distinct arts, executed in the way of business by different hands. If then
notwithstanding this additional security, the
attempt be made, one of two things must happen:
either it mu the two operations must be executed carried
on performed by two different hands,
or by the same hand,
in the first case In both cases the difficulty is
by this means increased. In the first case by
the difficulty of chances that as against the
concurrence of two hands in the prosecution of
so dangerous an enterprise
a design, and by the dou increased
probability of discovery through imprudence or
disagreement; in the other case, by the chances that
as against the union of two such different branches
of art - (and that to a degree of perfection adequate
to the purpose)of art in one and the same hand. The
fewer the individuals smaller the number of the artists who are capable of bringing
such an union to bear, the smaller the chance of finding
among them a forger in among the number of them an person capable
of attempting the commission of such a crime: and
the greater the degree of talent requisite, the less the
chance that a man possessed of that degree of talent
should regard it as worth his while to engage in so desperate a course to have recourse to such desperate measures for his support.
