Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter to the Right Honourable William Pitt, on the Influence of the Stoppage of Issues in Specie at the Bank of England: On the Prices of Provisions, and Other Commodities
But, from the mere return of bank-notes (without that of the balances on the books, for which the bank is likewise liable, and of the specie in its coffers), no accurate estimate can be formed of the positive dif ference between the present and the former circulation. There may be objections to the communication of any specy'ic account of the specie on hand but there can be none to such a return as, without specify ing a'ny sums, may ascertain the preportion which the specie existing in'the bankon the 6th December, 1800; bears to that which existed on the 96th February, 1797.
