Aware of the manner in which to a degree beyond
my power of estimation the scheme would could not but be prejudicial
to the interests of the Bank of England, the success never had the <add>ultimate adoption
</add> of the
schemereturnbut from the first been regarded by the
scheme presented itself to me as standing in the scale of
probability much above the point of
hopelessness. Not so
much as one guinea would I have given to receive a hundred
in >one of success. But
in comparison of the
advantage in that event which
presented
itself to my eyes, the
offering I cast cast as above into the
Treasury was but a
mite!
As Supposing the establishment of this currency, what
use or demand there could be for Bank paper I neither know
nor saw found any reason for being anxious to inquire.
But the particular interest of that corporation is in
a way no which is not now a secret to any body
to eyes
the subject of subservient to the most insatiable
of all lusts the lust of ambition power and in that way
inseparably linked and interwoven with the not only with
the sinister interest of any administration but thence with every
the minutest fibre of the sinister interest of the ruling
few.
To have supposed the Bank would leave any imaginable
stone unturned that could present a possibility of crushing it
it would have been crushing it would have been
among the most unpardonable of all weaknesses.
