Abstract:
A decline in the value of either
of the precious metals must proceed very slowly; as, owing to
their natural qualities and the purposes to which we turn them,
they are calculated to accumulate gradually from age to age, and
thus to form so very great a supply, that the entire amount will be
but little affected by the production of a few years, though unusually
abundant; and the metal accordingly, within a similar period, will
become but very little cheaper. But this is not the way the generality
looked upon the matter.
