At the request of the gentleman below (apparently not on the list), I am forwarding his message. Could fellow listers kindly reply to him directly? Michael E Hishikawa ------- Forwarded Message From: Michael Perelman <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Request Date: Mon, 22 May 2000 18:42:41 -0700 I wonder if you could post something to the Pound list for me. Pound cited William Paterson, on obtaining the charter of the Bank of England in 1694, "The Bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing." Both Quigly and Hollis repeat this citation, but neither gives a source. Is the citation groundless? Thank you very much. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail [log in to unmask] ------- End of Forwarded Message
