The staats-billcts (state-bills) were the sole representatives of a floating debt of about 600,000,000 livres, which had been arbitrarily scaled down by the Regent to 250,000,000 livres; and on Sept. 6, 1717, at which time the Company of the West was chartered, they were at a discount of from sixty to seventy per cent. The capital stock of the Company was divided into shares of 500 livres each; the number of shares was unlimited, and payment was made exclusively in billets d'etat. For those bills, when surrendered to the Government in sums of 1,000,000 livres, there was issued to the Company rentes (annuities) in perpetuity for 40,000 livres. The State was relieved from the pressure of so much of its debt as was thus used, and by assuming the payment of four per cent, upon the principal. Thus the Company had an income of four per cent, upon its capital guaranteed by the Government. The more readily to float the capital, the shares of aliens were exempt from the droits d'aubaine (the right of escheat to the Crown), and from confiscation in time of war; the obverse legend alludes to this pledge by the Government."

Excerpt: ...believed that so large an amount of property would glut. The holder of the assignats might use them as money or claim the land which they represented. As more forfeitures occurred, the issue of assignats increased. But it soon ceased to be measured by property and was enlarged according to the exigencies of the revolutionary government. The paper money fell to hah," then to a sixth part of the value of the same denomination in silver, and sinking rapidly through successive grades of decrease, silver held at last the value of one hundred and fifty times its denomination in paper. In August of 1793, 3,776 millions of francs were thus put in circulation; and virtually, the assignats became worthless. (11.) "The cupidity which it (speculation) excited among all classes of people, from the very lowest up to magistrates, bishops, and even princes, distracted all attention from public affairs, and all minds from political ambitious schemes, by filling them with the fear of losing and avidity of gain. It was a new and prodigious game in which all citizens bet, one against another. Desperate gamblers will not quit their cards to annoy the government. It happened, from a series of causes perceptible only to the most experienced and most sagacious understanding, that a system entirely chimerical created a real commerce and revived the Indian Company, formerly established, by the celebrated Colbert, and ruined by the wars. In fine, although there were many private fortunes ruined, the nation soon became more commercial and more rich. This system quickened the intelligence as civil war arouses the courage of a nation. "The fury for speculation was an epidemic disorder which spread into Holland and England. It merits the attention of...
