Extract

“The author prefaced his remarks by a short history of Bills of Exchange, and other kinds of paper currency; in which he pointed out the economy and convenience of a well regulated paper circulation.

“The means usually employed to diminish the facilities to forgery are—

“1. Colouring the paper, or the pulp of which it is manufactured, by various vegetable and mineral substances, either singly or combined. The best attempts of this sort have been imitated by a clever hand and a pencil.
