Contents

Memorandum constituting part 1 of Newton's 'Observations on M^r P[ollexfen]'^s Reply' [to MINT00261 (Mint 19/2/608-11)]. Restates his view that credit, like wine, is a good thing in moderation and should not be totally dismissed simply because it is possible to commit excesses with it.

Notes

[The paper by Pollexfen to which this responds does not seem to have survived.]
