Report From The Committee Of Secrecy On The Bank Of England Charter

Excerpt from Strictures on the Evidence Taken Before the Committee of Secrecy of the House of Commons on the Bank of England Charter Huge and heterogeneous as the mass of evidence is, all that is really valuable, 9r pertinent to the subject of inquiry, will be found to resolve itself under one or other of the two following general divisions: first, an exposition of the present constitution of the Bank of England, and of the system on which it conducts its operations; and, secondly, What alter ations, if any, are necessary and expedient in the present system of banking in England. On the former point, which is matter of fact, not only is the information highly interesting and important, but it is nearly as ample as' could have been desired. - No thanks to the committee for this, however, as the whole might have been obtained much more simply by an order of the House.
