Ainsi "les Billets de Banque de 1000. livres & de 10000. livres ne puissent estre donnez en Payement... qu'avec moitié Especes". Il s'agit de la dernière phase de l'aventure de John Law [1671-1729], fondateur en 1716 de la première banque privée ayant le droit d'émettre des billets, puis de la Compagnie d'Occident (1718), et créateur enfin d'un système monétaire unissant la banque, la Compagnie et l'État, qui eut le contrôle du commerce extérieur et des grandes entreprises du royaume. Après une brève période d'animation, l'imprudence des émissions, la fièvre spéculative et la concurrence (celle des frères Pâris notamment) finirent par provoquer la banqueroute.Annotation manuscrite ancienne sur la première page‎
