"I set to work to read the Act of Parliament by which the Bank of England was created. The investors knew what they were about. Their design was to mortgage by degrees the whole of the country...lands...houses...property...labour. The scheme has produced what the world never saw before -- starvation in the midst of abundance." -- William Cobbett, "The Political Register", XVIII, July 14 th, 1810.
