Excerpt from Currency Discussion in Massachusetts in the Eighteenth CenturyThe following imaginary question is propounded in the pamphlet: Can I have money for bank bills when I have occasion? To this the pamphleteer responds 'tis not propounded to be a bank of money (which is liable to in expressible and unforeseen hazards), but of credit to be given forth by bills not on money advanced, as in other banks, but (on lands or goods, as aforesaid) to supply such as cannot get money (by reason of its scarcity) with such as may be had for money.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
