Eleswhere, The Craftsman pictured Walpole as a giant from whom hung huge bank bills, exchequer notes, lottery tickets, and tallies, but only a small bag of money.  How better to describe the new economy based on vast paper credit and little real money?  Walpole is also “the greatest monster of power and wickedness, that ever infected the face of the earth.” ~Isaac Kramnick, Bolingbroke & His Circle
