Qu. Whether all the bills should be issued at once, or rather
by degrees, that so men may be gradually accustomed and reconciled
to the bank?
238. Qu. Whether the keeping of the cash, and the direction of the
bank, ought not to be in different hands, and both under public
control?
239. Qu. Whether the same rule should not alway be observed, of
lending out money or notes, only to half the value of the mortgaged
land? and whether this value should not alway be rated at the same
number of years' purchase as at first?
240. Qu. Whether care should not be taken to prevent an undue rise
of the value of land?
241. Qu. Whether the increase of industry and people will not of
course raise the value of land? And whether this rise may not be
sufficient?
242. Qu. Whether land may not be apt to rise on the issuing too
great plenty of notes?
243. Qu. Whether this may not be prevented by the gradual and slow
issuing of notes, and by frequent sales of lands?
244. Qu. Whether interest doth not measure the true value of land;
for instance, where money is at five per cent, whether land is not
worth twenty years' purchase?
245. Qu. Whether too small a proportion of money would not hurt the
landed man, and too great a proportion the monied man? And whether
the quantum of notes ought not to bear proportion to the pubic
demand? And whether trial must not shew what this demand will be?
