and that those to whom fortune dispenses these benefitted tickets , whether absent or present , may be certainly sure accordingly to have the money in specie , as herein after exprest . and that all possible fairness , in seeing the benefitted tickets duly put in , and duly drawn out as they ought , and every other thing done that ought to be done in this case , wherein the method at venice made use of , for signing and giving out tickets both in city and country , and entring of them in books printed on purpose , and numbred just to answer the tickets given but , for which ten shillings apiece must be paid , shall and is truly intended to be the same as near as possible can be , that shall be made use of here ; with this difference only , that whereas at venice the state is to answer for the just and well-performing of all things in the articles printed , and for so doing , is allowed above l. per cent. here the groom-porter , who sets up this adventure , for all his cost , care , pains and management , is allowed only l. per cent. and no more ; and in stead of officers deputed by that senate to manage the matter to the satisfaction of all parties concerned , has and does hereby depute richard lascells near charing-cross , ioseph fells by the new-exchange , iohn coggs against st. clements church in the strand , sir francis child and richard hoare in fleetstreet , iohn iohnson in cheapside , sir stephen evans , thomas williams , iohn sweetapple , will. atwell and will. shepheard in lombard-street , london , goldsmiths , their deputy and deputies , receivers of all monies to be so paid in for tickets , and to sign and give out tickets for the same ; who have undertaken to be answerable for the money so by them to be received , and to answer and pay the same as herein before or herein after expressed . and sir benjamin thorowgood , sir tho vernon , sir peter paravicine , sir ioseph hearne , sir will. gore , sir charles cotterell , sir will. forrester , tho povey , rob. rawworth , rich. goodall , rob. nott , will. lownds , rob. squib , rich. normansel , iohn genew , rob. beningfield , rich. spencer , dalby thomas , and iohn thraile , esquires ; together with the goldsmiths before named , have been requested , and have undertaken to be overseers , directors and managers of the whole affair , in which there is nothing to be ordered or done without the concurrence of five at least of the persons before-named ; so that there will be no room left to doubt of justness and fairness throughout the whole managing of it ; and nothing , ever like this , was at so small advantage proposed . and to answer the l. so to be taken for tickets to be given out at ten shillings apiece , there will be benefitted tickets to make up the said l. abating per cent. only to be allowed for the trouble and charge ; and as soon as the tickets are given out and compleated , the overseers before-named shall meet and call for the books , and see all the money so placed as to be ready to be paid on demand , to such persons or their lawful representatives as shall present the benefitted tickets ; and the same shall be accordingly so paid the following day after they have been so fortunate ; and the said overseers shall then also appoint the day to begin to draw these tickets , which shall be made publick , and continue daily and publickly at mr. hughes . great room at the upper end of freemans-yard in cornhil , london , with the assistance of the overseers till ended , which 't is hoped may be done in two or three days . the benefitted tickets are to be of — l. of — l. of — l. of — l. of — l. of — l. of — l. of — l. of l. each — l. of l. each — l. of l. each — l. of l. each — l. of l. each — l. and to the first ticket , whether benefitted or not that shall be drawn , besides the benefit that may come out with it — l. and to the first person whose ticket shall be drawn next after all the benefitted tickets are taken out — l. and if it should happen that the iast benefitted ticket should be the last drawn , the said l. shall be paid , besides what may come by the said benefitted ticket . and if in the abovementioned time the whole number of tickets be not compleated , the draught shall yet be made for those that are put in , and the benefits proportioned to the number of tickets , of which by the overseers a diligent calculate shall be made . and to farther explain the practical part of this matter , note : books will be purposely printed , containing the whole number of tickets , and of those three of each sort ( as hereunder described ) just marked and numbred alike ; no. . c. d. or any other mark the adventurers desire may be put no. . c. d. no. . c. d. no. . b. f. no. . b. f. no. . b. f. from which book the outermost ticket signed by the goldsmith shall be first cut , and given to the person that so pays the ten shillings for it ; the next , which will be just like the tickets given out , is to be cut , and put into a strong box , whence it is to be drawn ; and then the third , just the same with the other two , will remain still in the said book , so that to whoever chance gives a ticket that entitles him to a benefit , must bring or send the said ticket to the place where the same shall be drawn , and there it must answer ( to prevent all mistakes ) the ticket of the same number drawn , which will likewise answer that that 's left in the book , and it so appearing to do , the benefit to be forthwith delivered . and now , the better to demonstrate how this is to be drawn and done , note . all tickets in the second place to be cut out of the book , as aforesaid , just numbred and marked like those given out , are , in the presence of the managers , to be put up into a large glass to be sealed and lockt up in an iron , or other strong box , and there jumbled together , and kept so lockt up , 'till 't is drawn , and the blanks , with the benefitted tickets in like manner , in the presence of the said managers , are to be put into another such like glass , to be also sealed up and lockt in another strong box , and there to so remain , 'till drawn out , which is to be done thus : an oval table is to be set in the great room in freemans-yard in cornhil , london , round which , the managers and clerks in order are to sit , and at one end shall be placed the box wherein are the tickets so numbred and markt , as aforesaid ; and at the other end of the table the other such box , wherein are such benefitted tickets and blanks , out of both which , one by one , by some strangers , they are all to be drawn out thus : first , from among the tickets so numbred and markt , one shall be drawn , and then from the blanks and benefitted tickets another , which is to be before all the company opened ; and if it does prove a blank , the said blank and numbred ticket at the same time drawn shall without more ado be put together into a hole in the middle of the table for that purpose provided : but if it does prove a benefit , that and the numbred ticket shall be both filed up together ; but first shall be noted ( by the clerk ) with the said numbred ticket at the same time drawn , in a book kept apart for that purpose , which note shall be underwrit by two of the overseers then present , the said book to be kept and shewed in publick and private , and printed as soon as all the tickets are drawn out , that all persons may see to what number each benefit does belong , and so accordingly come for the same : and all this to prevent , as aforesaid , mistakes ; and , that no possible suspition may remain of any foul play in this thing , note . the numbred tickets as aforesaid , being put in one glass , and the blanks and benefitted tickets in another , the said glasses sealed up just before the tickets are going to be drawn , shall be took out of the strong boxes , and showed to the company present , with the numbred tickets , blanks and benefitted tickets in them , and be then shaked and jumbled together , that there may be no placing of either ; which glasses shall then afterwards be again placed in the strong boxes , from whence all shall be drawn . in short , whoever is any way possest of any one of these numbred tickets , so signed by any one of the eleven goldsmiths aforesaid , will this way be certain , that another such ticket so numbred and marked as that he is possest of , shall for him be put in and drawn at this adventure ; where , whether absent or present , he will have an equal chance with the rest for the benefits proposed ; and be sure that what sum of money soever good fortune this way shall design him , on produce of his ticket that entitles him to it , shall forthwith be paid at demand , free from all charge , or any deduction whatever . all persons are desired to take notice , that although near four months are allowed for receiving the money , and giving out tickets , 't is however intended that the same shall be drawn as soon as the number is compleat ; which is hoped before bartholomew-day . this is thus undertaken to be done by thomas neale esq groom-porter to their majesties , the th of iuly . a copy of the goldsmiths security to the adventurers . i goldsmith , do hereby acknowledge to have received from tho. neale esq a book signed and sealed by the overseers , of sides or pages , on every page of which are printed ten treble tickets , every treble ticket just numbred alike , beginning with the number and ending with the number which i promise and oblige my self by these present to return to the said thomas neale undefaced , or to be accountable for s. for every ticket cut or taken off , to the said thomas neale , and overseers of and for this profitable adventure herein before named , and for the purposes , and in manner as is also above in this printed paper expressed ;

forthwith to be coined before the clipt money be called in ) would certainly answer in lieu of ballion , to give an immediate supply to the market , keep our money circulating , and remove all objections . the quantity of the superfluous plate in this kingdom is so considerable . which , together with the useless plate in publick houses , being prohibited , it 's not to be doubted , but one million , at least , would be soon advanced . especially when we consider the price that plate now bares , and how desirous the people are of coming into another lottery , as plainly appears by the prizes and blanks in the million adventure , when once past the hopes of another lottery , this sessions advanc'd from six years purchase to seven and an half . the way and method for all such persons as intend to be proprietors in this adventure is propos'd , that they carry their plate to the mint , there to receive tickets according to the value , accounting so many ounces as shall be proportioned to a ticket , and for every odd sum that shall happen over and above , to receive a note for the same , payable at a certain time , after coming . but if if it shall be thought fit to have such plate brought into the bank , on the same conditions as above , thence to be transmitted to the mint , to return in coin ; the mint will be greatly eas'd , considering the work upon their hands , and the money made much more defusive . for the bank thereby being enabled to answer the defficiency of the mint , all persons of worth and credit , that shall bring their money to be coin'd , will readily take notes upon the bank , for what shall fall short , which being for their ease ; and having a free credit , the million in specie will remain in the bank to supply the poorer sort of people , that can afford no credit , having no more than bare subsistance . so consequently , the bank will supply the mint , and the mint be able to supply the bank before occasion : therefore no possibility of stoppage in commerce , or want of current money . by these means , not only the present occasion is answered , by facilitating the coynage of all the clipt money , but a million in specie is created more ; without which , it 's directly linking a million from what was in the nation before , which is conceiv'd can hardly be spared at this time . the proposer craves leave further to observe , that considering the honourable the house of commons has so far proceeded in relation to the regulating this intollerable abuse , if not effectually rem●dy'd this sessions , it has given such an alarum , that , before the next sessions , it will be , in a mann●●i●●●ssible to preserve any one piece of money , that is now of good value , from receiving the same injury : and how far this will add to the misfortune of the nation , is humbly submitted to their great wisdom . by t. h. articles established by alexander hamilton, formerly merchant in rouen in france, now in edinburgh, and his partners in the erecting in the said city, a profitable adventure for the fortunat, of fifty thousand tickets, of half a crown each. december , . hamilton, alexander, merchant. approx. kb of xml-encoded text transcribed from -bit group-iv tiff page images. text creation partnership, ann arbor, mi ;

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng lotteries -- england -- early works to . - tcp assigned for keying and markup - apex covantage keyed and coded from proquest page images - jonathan blaney sampled and proofread - jonathan blaney text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion a profitable adventure to the fortunate , and can be unfortunate to none . being a proposal for raising one million of money , by setling a fund of one hundred and forty thousand pounds per annum for fifteen years only for it . that there be tickets numbred from one to an hundred thousand , given out at ten pounds a piece , to make up that million of money . the said tickets to be answered by such another hundred thousand of tickets , whereof two thousand five hundred to be benefitted , in such sort as is herein after exprest , besides one pound yearly which every ticket will have ; so that whoever puts in ten pounds , will be sure to have one pound yearly for fifteen years ; and therefore cannot lose , but may possibly gain very much by it : nor can the objection made use of as a great argument against any sort of adventures , viz. the taking away money , and losing it quite from servants , and such as have but a little , weigh at all in this case . for note , whoever puts thus in his money , viz. ten pounds , though he meets with none of the two thousand five hundred tickets , which are to be called benefits , he 'll have twenty shillings yearly for fifteen years , which is near six per cent. certain for the money , and so can be no loser by it , and consequently there will be no prejudice to any sort of mankind that thus shall lay out his money .
