Several Assertions Proved: In Order to Create Another Species of Money Than Gold and Silver

This historical treatise argues for rethinking money and credit in nineteenth‑century style terms, grounded in earlier debates from the 1690s. It blends economic theory with reflections on law, governance, and the role of the state in shaping financial systems.

This edition guides readers through a provocative case for using lands and securities as money, the mechanics of dividing and organizing assets, and how public authority might sanction and regulate such inventions. It blends practical examples from early banking experiments with broader questions about value, trust, and national finance.

Explains how securities tied to land could be issued as money and used to back payments.
Describes the role of Trustees, incorporation, and legal structures to reduce fraud and manage transfers.
Discusses the interaction between Parliament, banks, and the economy in forming new monetary ideas.
Offers a reflective, self‑critical look at how money is created, valued, and defended in a nation’s finances.

Ideal for readers of historical economic thought, legal history, and early banking experiments who want to understand bold reform ideas from a formative period of monetary policy.
