Zustand: Very good. [London], 19th Century. . Very good. - 4-pages detailing Lord Overstone's densely penned argument defending the 1844 Bank Act on 8-7/8 inch high by 7-1/4 inch stationery with a crest embossed in blind at top left of the first page. The manuscript in Overstone's hand is not signed. As the primary architect of the Act, Overstone lays out his principles, sometimes in a question & answer format. "Bank Notes are not properly issued upon Credit: to whatever extent they are so, they deviate from their true and proper character. Money - is distinguished from all Securities etc. by resting upon its intrinsic value and not upon Credit. Bank Notes possessing an absolute certainty of commanding Gold at all times, rest upon their intrinsic value and are therefore Money.'What was the necessity for altering the system of credit issues as they existed before 1844?'. Answer. Credit Issues are not Money - they may or they may not carry with them the command of real value - to make them legal tender is unjust & dishonest, it is a bad & inexpedient form for the adjustment of transactions. By changing the character of these Credit Issues - and making them Issues of certain value - we have substituted honest Money for the dishonest semblance of it - and thus given the Country that which it can justly compel all parties to receive in discharge of Debts.'Bank Notes really convertible' Answer: There lies the gist of the whole question. The convertibility must not rest upon the discretion of the parties issuing - that is Credit. But upon the certainty that the thing into which the Bank Note is to be converted is held in readiness for that purpose. That is Money. 'then he will run off etc' Answer: No doubt he will run off into the brambles & thorns & pitfalls of deposits, credits, bills of exchange etc. But follow him, seize him, collar him, drag him back into the open field and the broad daylight - and then say to him - Sir. You have passed a dishonest delusion upon the public - You have issued as Money a great number of paper promises to pay Money whenever called upon - and you have done so without taking the necessary precautions to render the non fulfillment of that promise absolutely impossible.Therefore if you please Sir give us your hands. We must tie them behind your back with the Act of 1844. And now you may go and play the fool amongst credits, capital, Bills of Exchange for as much as you like. Men may trust you who choose - they do it of their free will and at their own risk. But what we make them take as Money they shall be well assured will under every possible contingency produce to them the Hard Cash on their demand". As a finale, Overstone turns to drama: "Exeunt. Tooke. cursing, swearing and abusing. / Wilson. equivocating, tossing figures about in all directions and invariably turning them upside down. / with a long train of followers, some blind, some halt, some lame - most of them waddling - one half of them frightened at their own shadow - the other half putting their hands into their neighbors pockets. / Restat. John Bull. solus. counting carefully to see that he has as many Sovereigns in one pocket as he has Bank Notes in the other." Folded several times horizontally and vertically with an annotation identifying the manuscript as by Overstone discreetly penciled at the top of the first page. There is an additional vertical annotation faintly penned in red over a few words at right of the last page, though not affecting the legibility to the text. Very good. Samuel Jones Loyd, Lord Overstone (1796-1883) was a British banker and leader of the "Currency School". The "Currency Rule" proposed that the bank should hold 100% gold reserves on note issues making bank notes the same as currency. He virtually authored the 1844 Bank Charter Act ("Peel's Act"). The Banking Act tied the issuing of notes strictly to gold reserves. Loyd succeeded his father as head of the Jones, Loyd & Co. bank in 1844. James Wilson (1805-1860) was the editor of.
