C 11

Of Frauds relative to the Coin.

NOTE

From p. 10 (a) These ideas seem not to have occurred to Mr. Voltaire, who
in treating of this offence joins with the common run of Jurists in putting continues to find it upon a rank with
Treason: for "it is betraying the state" (says he) "to rob all the individuals
"that compose it". The observation seems a little
hasty: for the fact is that by one single offence of this sort it is
but one single individual that is ever affected in the first instance primarily affected. Any individual
it is true may suffer; but the difference between all and
any is considerable: So long as any one individual suffers,
no other suffers but that one; so soon as a second suffers the
first is made amends. It is therefore an offence against assignable
individuals, and so far from being Treason, it is not
so much as in any shape at all an an offence against the State.

By the extension of the Act act into a Habit habit a great number
of individuals, it is true, are exposed to suffer: but let the
multitude of them be ever so great, they are constantly assignable;
they are such and such persons who happen to be the
holders of such and such a piece of the money.
