require a further Emission of Bills of Credit to be lent out upon
Loan, a Sum arising out of the Interest thereof might be appropriated
to that Purpose; and it was thereupon resolved, that Bills of Credit
to the Amount of 346,666! Dollars be struck, and that 266,666f
Dollars thereof be circulated by Way of Loan upon real and personal
Security. It was then moved to be resolved, that 42,666! Dollars,
out of the Interest arising from the Loan of the said Bills of Credit
be appropriated for the Establishment of a Seminary of Learning
in this Province, and the Question being put that the same be en-
tered as the Resolve of this House, it was carried in the Affirmative.
