A National Bank for England and the Bank of England Model
The text argues for a single national paper currency to be issued by one bank under one authority, independent of political and commercial pressures. It contends publicity of accounts would prevent misuse, likens a royal mint to a model, and outlines two core functions: supply a stable currency and serve as fiscal agent for the state. It posits a universally accepted, immutable standard of value and notes supporting data on currency, notes, and securities.
