A military dictionary - William Duane

It will be observed, that in order to avoid the multiplicity of the denominators of fractions, and to give to the several calculations a greater degree of exactitude, the unit has constantly been divided, in the following tables, into 100 parts.

Table, which shews the intrinsic Value of the monies of account of Foreign Nations expressed in pence sterling.

The following example will shew in what manner the relation between the monies of account of any two given countries may be ascertained.

Example.

Let it be required to express, in pence Irish, the value of a marc banco of Hamburgh.

The marc being worth 18,45 pence sterling, and the pound Irish 221,54, according to the table prefixed, I state the following equation:

				1		marc banco = x
1		marc ban.	=	18	,45	pence sterling
221	,54	pence ster.	=	1		pound Irish
1		pound Irish	=	240		pence Irish
Result 19,99 pence Irish.
