Excerpt from An Address to the Proprietors of Bank Stock on the Management of the Governor and Directors of the Bank of England, and on the Laws Relating Thereto Englishmen and foreigners have long had reason to regard the Bank of England as the most important of all the commercial establishments in the world; it is, therefore, peculiarly incumbent on the Proprietors of that establishment to be jealous of every proceeding, and of every insinuation, that militates either against the well-being of the Bank, or against the honour and characters of the Governor, Deputy-governor, and Directors; to whom, under the charter, the whole management of its affairs is essentially committed.
