Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Writings of William Paterson, of Dumfrieshire, and a Citizen of London, Vol. 3 of 3: Founder of the Bank of England, and of the Darien Colony
Two Sovereigns, founders of a new line, and distin guished statesmen held him in high esteem. The chief merchants of London, the whole Scottish nation, and the United Parliament, followed his counsel. But it is not on account of what he accomplished so well, that this appeal is made. Its object is rather, to ask the con sideration of some things he proposed in vain for us all and also of what, in his own case, the Government of the time long disregarded - admlnistrative justice - still neglected among us as grossly as it was in the reign of Queen Anne - but which now awaits reforma tion under circumstances of peculiar promise.
