In this article, I shall clarify fully the theoretical significance of Walter Boyd's Letter to Mr. Pitt (1801) and the backgroundof this Letter almost for the first time at least in this country. And then I shall argue that it was the Boyd-Baringcontroversy on the responsibility of the Bank of England for inflation during the Bank Restriction period which, far frombeing a `skirmish,' not only marked the beginning of the Bullionist Controversy, but also did influence their later generationvery much in that they had to research anew what a `reasonable limit' of the issue of the Bank notes should be. AndI also emphasize the theoretical `turn' of Sir Francis Baring in later years in favor of Boyd. Finally, I shall trace referenceto Boyd in the history of monetary thought of the 19th century and the early 20th century.
