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).
