Book excerpt: Excerpt from The One Pound Note in the History of Banking in Great Britain A second EDITION of this work is issued in response to many requests, the original edition of 1886 having been long out of print. Several chapters have been partially rewritten, and the historical portions are continued to date. As formerly, the book consists of two sections, relating respectively to Scotland and England. In the first, the leading events of Scottish banking history are noticed so far as they were connected with One Pound Notes. These events arc not always given chronologically, the author desiring to follow the course of certain movements to their issue, rather than present a mere chronicle of facts. Thus the period 1727-1770 occupies three chapters, which, though parallel in date, each deal with separate characteristic banking movements of the time. This section ends with chapters on the Scottish law of bank notes, and their manufacture. In the second division, an attempt is made to prove, by an historical examination of English banking, that the reasons for the southern antipathy to such a currency are no longer cogent, and that its introduction to England would strengthen the banking system and benefit national interests. Some photo-lithographs of old notes are inserted to illustrate the Scottish section, which by the simplicity of their workmanship strengthen the argument on forgery in the English chapter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Question of Again Permitting the Issue of One Pound Notes by the Bank of England, and Also by Country Banks Let us, therefore, in these remarks, endeavour to divest ourselves of all prejudice, and, anxious only for the welfare of the community, briefly consider the question; whether, or not, it would be advisable that the bank of England, and country banks, should be permitted to issue one pound notes. The consideration of the subject may be divided as follows - Ou the issue of one pound notes by the bank of England - ou the issue of such notes by country banks; - On the results Of such a measure, if Britain were involved in a war -on the consequences, if Great Britain continued in a state of peace.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Bank of England: A History of English Banking, and a Sketch of the Money Market The Bank of England, which is managed by a Governor, Sub-Governor, and twenty-four Directors, was incorporated in 1694 at the suggestion of a Scotsman, William Paterson, a man of roving disposition, whose Darien expedition proved a miserable fiasco, cost Scotland some 400,000, and shattered the health of Paterson, who died in London at the beginning of 1719, if not in poverty at least stripped of nearly all his fortune. Schemes relating to the Isthmus of Darien (or Panama), that narrow little strip of land which unites the two Americas, have proved fruitful in disaster.

Download or read book The Paper Pound of 1797 1821 written by Great Britain Parliament House Bullion and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Paper Pound of 1797-1821: A Reprint of the Bullion Report Silver coins were legal tender by tale for amounts under £25; but above that sum they were only legal tender by weight, at the coinage rate Of 55. 2d. An ounce, and there was no possible inducement to anyone to tender them at that rate, as they were commonly very much worn, and consequently any one paying them away at 53. 2d. To the ounce would have lost heavily as compared with passing them in small amounts at their nominal value. There was no legal-tender paper. Bank Of Eng land notes, promising to pay the bearer on demand £10, £20, and a few larger sums, circulated freely in London and the immediate neighbourhood. Out side that area there were in circulation similar notes for sums Of £5 and upwards, issued by over two hundred banks with less than six partners, called the country banks because the London private banks had long ago abandoned the business of issuing notes. The country banks did not go below £5, because the law had forbidden smaller notes since 1777 the Bank of England's abstention from issuing £5 notes (maintained by it till soon after the beginning Of the war) seems to have been due to mere conservatism - it had only begun to issue £10 notes in 1759. The whole amount of Bank Of England notes in circulation was about 12 millions: the amount of country notes is unknown, but later statistics suggest that it may have been not far Off the same figure. The amount Of gold coin in the country is supposed to have been from 20 to 30 millions, but it must be remembered that a far larger proportion than in modern times would be locked away in hoards only coming into circulation at long intervals.
