Notes: Credited to John Perceval, 2d earl of Egmont (cf. Dict. nat. biog., v. 44, p. 372) The author's "Essay on the means of discharging the public debt", also published in 1763, appears to be an expansion or revision of the "Proposal", which is referred to in the preface to the "Essay" as "the first part of this essay".
