Note 99 — Period of Paper Money, 1710-1751.

In 1837, Mr. E. R. Potter published a pamphlet entitled "A brief Account of Emissions of paper money made by the Colony of Rhode Island". It has been reprinted with additions in the "Historical Sketches of American Paper Currency" (first series) by H. Phillips. This little work contains about all the facts which are accessible, including the reports made to the General Assembly, and much that relates to Massachusetts and Continental money. In 1880, it was reedited and enlarged by Mr. Sidney S. Rider, and published as number eight of the Rhode Island Historical Tracts. Mr. Rider has added an almost complete list of the fac similes of the various issues, but has omitted other portions which are of more value to the economic student.
