Two Tracts on Civil Liberty, the War with America, and the Debts and Finances of the Kingdom

Note 32 — PART II.

Reading edition

The coin deficient between one grain and three grains was not called in at the time this was written. This call was made in the Summer of 1776; and it brought in above three millions more than was expected. The quantity of gold coin should therefore have been stated at about Sixteen Millions, and the whole coin of the kingdom at 18 or 19 millions.—The evidence from which I have drawn this estimate may be found in the first Section of the Second Part of the next Tract.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
