ABSTRACT
We are here in a very melancholy situation: Continual Bankruptcies, universal Loss of Credit, and endless Suspicions…even the Bank of England is not entirely free from Suspicion…The Carron Company [a substantial ironworks] is reeling, which is one of the greatest Calamities of the whole; as they gave Employment to near 10,000 people. Do these Events any-wise affect your Theory?2
