To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Foreigners who come into our market never treat our coin as money, but as a commodity, though it sustains both characters among ourselves; and these must ever be in antagonism, so long as we make a distinction between the mint price and the market price of bullion. — The impress of the Queen's head or of the ligure of Britannia on the sovereign adds nothing to its intrinsic value, the whole of which it derives simply and solely from the quantity of labour it condenses. The ornamental devices ...and the mint mark merely certify the weight and purity of the coin, thus render- ing unnecessary the trouble of weigliing and assaying the metal Avhen it passes from debtor to creditor. The conventional character of coined gold, therefore, in no respect supersedes or changes the native cliaracter of bullion ; it still remains a commodity, merchantable by its own inherent qualities. If tlie London Goldsmiths' Company were empowered to fabricate sovereigns they could discharge the duty as eftectually and as satis- factorily both to ourselves and foreigners as the mint; and their mark would be as authentic a certificate of the weight and fineness of the coin as the mint mark.
