The Worth of Silver by Troy Weight.
One Pound is worth three Pound.
One Ounce worth five Shillings.
One Penny weight worth Three-pence. And
One Grain worth a Half penny.
N. B. The above is the Weight of current Money.
By Avoirdupoise Weight one Pound of Gold is worth forty-nine Pound thirteen Shillings and Eight-pence-Half-penny.
One Pound of Silver, by the same Weight, is worth three Pound fifteen Shillings and Eight-pence Half-penny
By this it appears, that one hundred Pound of Silver weights twenty six Pound five ounces, Avordupoise; and one hundred Pound of Gold, two Pound and about a Quarter of an Ounce.
FINIS.
