The amount received as stated in the report on the treasurer's accounts in 1711, was £2,032-19-2. The amount outstanding on bonds given for land was £1,523-17-5. Arnold (Vol. II, p. 37, Note) says that the report of a committee, subsequently made, shows that £3,795-15s.-10d. was received at the rate of about 1s. 6d. per acre. Footnote 98: In 1709, four ferries were leased for seven years at an annual rental of £4. This is the last record that I find of any payment made to the general treasury. "Leases" were afterwards spoken of, but these seem to refer simply to grants of the right of ferriage, bonds being required for the observance of the law in regard to ferries. In 1748, the colony purchased two of the ferries but does not seem to have been successful in its enterprise and sold them again in 1750. Footnote 99: In 1837, Mr. E. R. Potter published a pamphlet entitled "A brief Account of Emissions of paper money made by the Colony of Rhode Island". It has been reprinted with additions in the "Historical Sketches of American Paper Currency" (first series) by H. Phillips. This little work contains about all the facts which are accessible, including the reports made to the General Assembly, and much that relates to Massachusetts and Continental money. In 1880, it was reedited and enlarged by Mr. Sidney S. Rider, and published as number eight of the Rhode Island Historical Tracts. Mr. Rider has added an almost complete list of the fac similes of the various issues, but has omitted other portions which are of more value to the economic student. Footnote 100:
