A proposal humbly offered to this honorable House of Commons, by John Horne upholsterer, London, to change both the good and bad moneys of this Kingdom, and to make out the want of weight in the right coin, and in so doing to raise the King, near two millions of money; and also to cause a free and open trade amongst ourselves, and that every person shall make use as well of his bad moneys as his good, until his bad money hath wasted it self quite away, as we humbly conceive may be in a few years and much easier for the people to lose 20s. in 40 weeks, than to lose i in one day, &c. humbly refer'd to the wisdom of this Honorable house
Horne, John, Upholsterer.Date: 1696]
