The Paper Currency of England Dispassionately Considered With Suggestions Towards a Practical Solution of the Difficulty

"The Paper Currency of England Dispassionately Considered" by John (of Dublin) Haslam is an analysis of England's paper money system during the mid-1800s. It centers around the Bank Charter Act of 1844 and explores the good and bad sides of using paper money in England at the time. Haslam examines the rules and structures of money and suggests improvements. He shares his reasons for writing and directly addressing the public and emphasizes the importance of being able to exchange paper money. The writing goes into the details of the 1844 Act, pointing out what Haslam sees as its problems and suggesting fixes related to how money is made and the dangers in banking. Ultimately, Haslam wants a more standardized, government-run method for money to improve the public's prosperity.
