(a) Paper money has is in so many respects so
much more convenient than metallic money
that in its view of that convenience the
danger that atended attendant are apt to
be overlooked , and the disruption to receive it
is found in practice to outstrip go beyond rather than
fall short of the mark prescribed by prudence .
In Baltimore in Maryland the American town
of Baltimore where "there are three incorporated
"Banks the number of notes issued from them
"is so great, (according to Mr Wild)+ "as almost to preclude the circulation
"of . Some of the notes are for so
"small a sum as a single Dollar , and being
"much more portable than silver , are generally
"preferred".

Before the Act of Parliament // which
prohibits on the part of individuals the issuing of notes for a less sum
than £8 in Scotland England and 2. £1 in Scotland .
Notes for (according to Adam Smith)++ were issued in Scotland for
sums as low as 10s and 5s, and in Yorkshire
even as low as 6d: a sum as low as the
lowest silver coin in circulation , and which
stands the lowest place in the proposed series of
Annuity Notes . It was because the propensity
to prefer paper to metals cash went[+] so much beyond the
mark prescribed by prudence, that the Act above
mentioned was passed for the purpose of curbing
it.
