No. X .-- Banks.
In April, 1781, the Legislature of Vermont, for the payment of the State debts, authorized the issning of bills on the credit of the state, to the amount of $25150. These Bills were to be redeemed by the treasurer of the state, with specie before the first day of June 1782. The first bank in Vermont was established in 1806, and consisted of two branches, one at Woodstock and the other at Middlebury. The next year two other brauches were established, one at Burlington and the other at Westminster. This bank was managed by 13 directors, who were appointed annually by the legislature, and who chose one of their number president. All the property and profits of this bank belonged exclusively to the state. After continuing this experiment for a few years the bank was found not to answer the purposes intended, and its bills were consequently withdrawn from circulation. There are at present 17 Banks in Vermont, incorporated as exhibited in the following.

The aggregate capital of these 17 Banks is $1.650.000. Each bank is managed by a board of five or seven directors and their proceed- ings are annually inspected by a committee appointed by the legisla- ture. Six per cent of the profits of each bank incorporated before 1830, and ten per cent of those incorporated after 1830, is to be paid into the treasury of the state. A Branch of the Bank of the United States was established at Burlington in 1830.
Although Vermont had no banks till long after her admission into the Union, she exercised the power of coining money sometime be- fore that period. In 1786, Reuben Harmon was authorized by the legislature to establish a mint for the coining of copper for the term of eight years from and after the 1st of July, 1787. The pieces coined were to weigh 4 prot. 15 grs., and to have on ono side u head with the motto Auctoritate Vermontensium, and on theother a wo- man, with the lottors I N D. E T L I B., for Independence and lib- orty.

No. XI .- Colleges in Vermont.
The University of Vermont was established at Bur- lington by an act of legislature passed November 3, 1791, and went into operation in the year 1800. The first col- lege edifice was completed in 1801, and was 160 feet long, and 75 feet wide in the central part and 45 feet on the wings.
