Book Description

Excerpt from History of the Issues of Paper-Money in the American Colonies Anterior to the Revolution, Explanatory of the Historical Chart of the Paper Money of That Period Of the paper money of that period, I have not been able to discover any Bill in existence of a date anterior to the year 1746. It is probable, that the greater part, if not the whole which was issued, in the British Colonies before that period, has been destroyed. It will be seen from the foregoing ex tract, that but a small amount was issued, and it having been redeemed in each Colony, it is almost certain, that very few, if any Specimens of the paper money of that period, are now extant.
