What I have propos'd to supply the Country with Money, may be reduc'd to this. If an Estate of a 100 l. Rent is worth 2000 l. in Silver-money, and this Estate can be convey'd by Paper, and this Paper be capable of being divided; then that Estate may be made current Money for 2000 lib. and any person who receives such Paper-money, receives a value equal to the same Sum of Silver-money, as Silver is valued now. If it is coin'd for 15 years purchase, then that Paper- money will be more valuable than Silver, for 1500 lib. in that Paper will purchase Land worth 2000 lib. Silver-money.英文原著 · 《Money and Trade Considered》
Of these some are more, and others less sensitive. If Chloride of silver, which is a white precipitate formed by adding chloride of sodium (common salt) to a solution of nitrate of silver, be exposed to diffused light, it speedily assumes a violet tint, and ultimately becomes nearly black. With iodide of silver, bromide of silver, ammonio-nitrate of silver, and other salts of this metal, the result will be much the same.英文原著 · 《The History and Practice of the Art of Photography》
Soliel has proposed the use of the chloride of silver to determine the time required to produce a good impression on the iodated plate in the camera. His method is to fix at the bottom of a tube, blackened within, a piece of card, on which chloride of silver, mixed with gum or dextrine, is spread. The tube thus disposed is turned from the side of the object of which we wish to take the image, and the time that the chloride of silver takes to become of a greyish slate color will be the time required for the light of the camera to produce a good effect on the iodated silver.英文原著 · 《American Hand Book of the Daguerreotype》
Any thing that is propos'd to have a Currency as Money, and is given for a lesser Interest than Silver Money, will be of less Value. It is not to be suppos'd any person will lend Silver Money at 2 per cent, when they can have 6 per cent in England. So a 100 lib. Silver Money, will yield als much as 300 lib. of these Bills would: and 100 lib. in Silver, will be equal to 300 lib. in Bills. The 6 lib.英文原著 · 《Money and Trade Considered》
the 100 lib. of Silver yields, being Silver, and the 6 lib. the 300 of Bills yields, being payed in these Bills: and 1 lib. Silver, being worth 3 lib. in Bills; so the 6 lib. Interest of the 100 lib. in Silver, would be equal to 18 lib or the Interest of 900 lib. in Bills.英文原著 · 《Money and Trade Considered》
How then an Ounce of uncoin'd Standard Silver can be worth Five Shillings Four Pence, (i.e. How 480 Grains of uncoin'd Standard Silver can be worth 495 Grains of the same Standard Silver, Coin'd into Money) is unintelligible; unless the Coinage of our Mint lessens the Value of Standard Silver.英文原著 · 《Some Considerations of the Lowering of Interest》
