35 Cause &c
In the Bank note too there is something in the 16 continued
neatness of the engraving and the conspicuous and emphatic display
of the sum, that can not but be particularly attractive
and fascinating to an ordinary eye. In the Exchequer
Bill there is no such display of the sum, and
the impression of the long winded explanation of the conditions
of payment has nothing particulat to recommend
it
A Navy Bill in all these points in a
most remarkable degree inferior to the Exchequer
Bill. In its it It is the whole of it in ordinary
writing without any of these engrave embellishments which
decorate in a small degree an Exchequer Bill, butand
in a much higher degree a Bank note. It has in
short exactly the appearance of an ordinary
Tradesman's Bill. It occupies too a whole sheet of
folio paper: and what is more this sheet is not sufficient
for transferable from hand to hand without
an assignment in form occupying another sheet.
and whichEither of these sheets forms a mass so much too large for the pocket
or the pocket-book as to the instance unfit the instrument in a instead of being expressed in the concise and very considerable degree
for general circulation
both of them together
consequently still more.
The assignment too
significant state ofsignificance of the mercantile languagestile is conceitedstupid
loaded and perplexed with the superfluities which characterize
lawyers language. But Wherever the hand of the
Lawyer is visible, diffidence follows of course.
