I Have been desired by some Gentlemen, who are Wellwishers to the intended LAND-BANK, to publish my Answers to the following Queries, propounded by several who have read my PROPOSALS, Viz.  
Where will there be Money found to Circulate the proposed Bills of Credit?  
If I take up Bills to the value of 1000 l or more, of the Directors, upon the Security of my Estate, and these Bills be delivered out in Payment from one to another, How shall I get these Bills again if I have a mind to clear my Estate?  
When I have settled my Estate upon the trusties, How must I get it out of their Hands, if I would sell it, or settle it for a Jointure? etc.  
If I pay at any time part of my Principal to the Directors, Whether I must notwithstanding continue the payment of the whole Interest, or be from that time discharged from payment of Interest for such part of the Principal I shall so pay the Directors?  
1st Quest. answered. The procuring Money to answer these Bills is part of the Method which I have to lay before those Directors who shall be chosen by the Subscribers, which I think is not reasonable for me to discover till I am in a Capacity to put it in Execution, lest I give others an Opportunity to raise a Superstructure on my Foundation, which some have already attempted to do.  
2d Quest. answered. No Man's Estate is proposed to stand engaged for any particular Bill or Bills of Credit, but for such value only in Bills or Money as he shall take up or receive upon the Security of his Estate; and upon his payment of so much Money, or delivering up Bills of Credit to the like value, his Estate will be cleared.  
3d Quest. answered. Any Man may as well sell or otherwise dispose of his Estate that is so settled, as he may any mortgaged Estate, this being in this respect no other than a Mortgage, only it is suited more for the advantage of the Mortgager than are the usual Mortgages: And any Man who settles his Estate in Trust may have his Deed up again whensoever he pleases, upon payment of Principal and Interest.  
4th Quest. answered. You are to pay Interest for so much Principal as you from time to time shall owe to the BANK, and for no more.  
The Substance of my PROPOSAL is this,  
That the Freeholders are only desired to unite themselves into a Body, by subscribing their Estates to be a Fund for a National LAND-BANK.  
And no Man who shall subscribe obliges himself, nor his Estate by his Subscription, the same being rather a Memorandum of the Names and Estates of such who are willing to encourage it.  
And I propose, that when there shall be a Subscription of 100000 l. per Annum, the major part of the Subscribers met together are to choose trusties on whom to settle their Estates, and Directors to manage the intended BANK.  
To these Directors I shall propose my Methods of raising Money, and till then the Subscribers or their Estates are under no Obligation, nor themselves at a Penny Charge.  
As my Methods shall be approved or disapproved, the Subscribers may settle or forbear to settle their Estates.  
If they settle their Estates, their Estates are to be chargeable for no more than what they themselves shall actually receive: and the Subscribers, if they please, shall be furnished with three fourth parts of the Value of their Estates at 3 l. 0 s. 10 d. per Cent. per Annum.  
And if they shall not settle their Estates, as they will not have been at the least Charge, so they will be at no Trouble but only writing their Names, and meeting once to choose trusties, Directors, etc.  
The Subscription Books lie open at the Chambers of Thomas Gooding Sergeant at Law, in Field-Court in Grayes-Inn At Philip Neave Esq his Chambers, the second Staircase of the Paper-Buildings in the Inner Temple. At Laurence Braddon Esq his Chambers, Number 4. the second Staircase in the new Square at Lincolns-Inn. At the House of Robert West Esq the Corner of Buckingham-Court near Scotland-Yard. At Mr. John Smith's in Exchange-Alley: And at Mr. Humphrey Hack shaws in Lothbury near the Royal Exchange in London.
