Who can say but that the circulation of this
paper might be cf come to extend itself even
beyond the sphere of British dominion, supposing
the value of this paper in exchange
to having been once established and certified by refinance?
The following passage is from Turner's'
Account of Thibet - London 1800. 4th p. 143, "The
Narraince is a x silver coin, struck in Cooch Bahar
Bahar, of the value of about ten pence, or one third of a Sirca
rupee. The commodiousness of the small piece, the profits the
people of Bootan derive from their commerce with Cooch Bahar,
and some local prejudices against the establishment of a Mint,
have given the narraince in these regions, as well as in those
where it is struck, a common currency, though both countries
are perfectly independent of each other, and totally different in
their language and manner." Turner's Thibet 1800 4th p. 143.
The send or mark of the East India
Company on their packages (I remember having one from authority that appeared unquestionable
authority) is received in China at vast distances
from the , as satisfactory evidence
of the quantities and qualities of their the content,
to the value perhaps of some hundreds of pounds.
It is a supposition altogether chimerical, that a similar
confidence might be brought in process of time to extend itself. ++
++itself to the exchange value of a piece of paper, value a few pounds or a few shillings? +2
+2 In Africa, in more places than one, Park (as he tells us)
made a paper money out the Lord's Prayer. Might not
commercial experience give at length a value, which was thus given by men. Superstition without experience?
