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
scheme had 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

in one of success. But in comparison of the
advantage in that event which
presented

offering I cast cast as above into the
Treasury was but a
mite!

use or demand there could be for Bank paper I neither saw

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.
