The Governor, Deputy Governor, and Directors of the Bank of England, think it their Duty to inform the Proprietors of Bank Stock, as well as the Publick at large, that the general Concerns of the Bank are in the most affluent and prosperous Situation, and such as to preclude every Doubt as to the Security of its Notes. The Directors mean to continue their usual Discounts for the Accommodation of the Commercial Interest, paying the Amount in Bank Notes, and the Dividend Warrants will be paid in the same Manner.
