Berkeley, George, 1685-1753

"Querist"

Qu. Whether the general bank should not be in Dubin, and
subordinate banks or compters one in each province of Munster,
Ulster, and Connaught?
128. Qu. Whether there should not be such provisions of stamps,
signatures, checks, strong boxes, and all other measures for
securing the bank notes and cash, as are usual in other banks?
129. Qu. Whether these ten or a dozen last queries may not easily be
converted into heads of a bill?
130. Qu. Whether any one concerns himself about the security or
funds of the banks of Venice or Amsterdam? And whether in a little
time the case would not be the same as to our bank?
131. Qu. Whether the first beginning of expedients do not always
meet with prejudices? And whether even the prejudices of a people
ought not to be respected?
132. Qu. Whether a national bank be not the true philosopher's stone
in a State?
133. Qu. Whether it be not the most obvious remedy for all the
inconveniencies we labour under with regard to our coin?
134. Qu. Whether it be not agreed on all hands that our coin is on
very bad foot, and calls for some present remedy?
135. Qu. Whether the want of silver hath not introduced a sort of
traffic for change, which is purchased at no inconsiderable discount
to the great obstruction of our domestic commerce?
136.
