Parliamentary Act of 1694 with the Charter of the Bank of England sections 19 and 27 have been obtained from the archives of the House Of Lords London and spoken by Len, historical context provided by Jennifer Adam from the Museum and historical collections of the Bank of England from youtube, commentary by Graham and Music by 1930s Calypso Jamaica Money is King from youtube
