(a) This (should it ever come into existence)
will be the only species of property known,
which not only pays for , but pays
without either risk or trouble. It will be a new-discovered
and willtreasure To the aged and the parsimonious, it
will be a new discovered treasure. — Timidity
Timidity and indolence are the natural accompaniments
of that disposition to parsimony, which
is so natural an accompaniment of old age.
To place money out at interest in any other way
is a waste not only of but of hazard,
matters way a man escapes from both. — To
hoard money is to
suffer a continually increasing loss. Yet the
habit of sustaining this loss is found a concomitant,
and that nor that not an infrequent one,
of the habit of parsimony. At the house of death,
large ready money in large masses has been found
in the hands of the parsimonious of all ranks,
from the Beggar to the Prince. But what
Prince, or what Beggar, is there, who will hoard
metallic money, when, by simply forbearing to
part with this, paper money, he may, everyday
of his life, be not only preserving his property,
but adding to it?
