About This Item
London: Printed for J. & S. Johnson... MDCCLV [1755]. 'What gave Rise to the following Tables was, that I had Occasion, in the Course of Business, to observe that the exchanging or purchasing of a Quantity of foreign Silver, generally gives a good deal of Trouble. So that sometimes two Hands are obliged to be detach'd from other Business... I thought therefore, I should do an acceptable Service to all the Dealers in this Commodity, if I could present them, at one View, with the Amount of any Quantity from One-penny weight to Eleven Hundred Ounces, at all Prices' (Preface). Hard Cover. Octavo, 1 leaf, iv pages, 51 leaves (signatures [A]4, B-N4, O1). Folding leaf at L3; 5 manuscript leaves of tables at end. Rebound in full calf by Dragonfly in 1995. NUC 564: 629 (NS 0864348), NN only. Stock#NS0221.
