 Would be extremely easy to shew the numerous, and, in some 

 instances voluntary, errors and misrepresentations with which 

 his pamphlet is vitiated; but I am called upon by no duty to 

 do this. 



To my readers, it is, I trust, needless to repeat the truths I Ji;^^5?"! "^^'^

 Mr. Winsor ; but I am not indifferent to the question, whether 

 the public shall be deluded, when one of that public asks me 

 to give an opinion upon what every man has a right to exa- 

 miue. It is this motive which leads me at present to notice 

 his pamphlet, and induces me not to dismiss the subject with- 

 out a few general observations. 



It certainly is Mr. Winsor's duty to give all those means of ^'^'"•^Y'"^^'" '^.^^

 unconlrouled power to draw this .£20,000 from the banking- 

 houses, or he has not. If he has not, the sum is in trust either 

 v;ith the four co-proprietors, or with other nominees, or with 

 the bankers. In any or either case, the trust ought to have 

 been declared and published; and the trustees themselves, by
