In 1377, during the roiga of Richard the Socond, there existed great oOmplaint.of the .cllppingandexportation of’ coins, and it idalned by the offioers >f tho mint that “ all monoy ehould bo of one weight; and such as is not of due weight, be,,bought according ly its value,", and “ that gold should pass only by weight.".

But tbe,commi»)i th'o introduction of a docimai ±ealo in weights and measures, in those respects iu whioh it is rosily useful, as theicstablishmcntof.n docimnl coinage!'” The.true requirement is the establishment of a decimal system in coinage, founded upon ono com mon 'ntilt, Tor calculations in every department of the mints. ' It was suggested as a future convenience, “To prepare a set of itinerant standards, for tho pur 'poao of passing from colony to colony, and book again to England, in certain rotation, to once in ten years, the correctness of colonial stanS dards." / Tho act of Goorgo the Fourth, (1824,) fixing the eubatanoo of tho metal—yellow brass—for standard Troy as well the ordinary modes of adjustment, aro both objootod to in prac tice at tho present day in England. ' One Governmental Inspector of Weights and ■■Measures wrote Mr. Airy: “In oase of disputo, a tradesman 1 * weight, found deficient by tho standard of one town, would Beover-woighfc by the standard of tho next town." Another Inspector, at the city of Bristol, said “ Tho prosent act of Parliament, with regard to weights and blon&ures, (Goorgo Fourth, 1824,) is full of legal errors.’ f It is a jumble of disjunctions.” There are no two.lawyera to be found to agree upon any ono of its sections.” ’ A Civil, Enginoor wrote from London to tho Chairman of tho Commission, "Whcnovorl go into any connty or place in England I have not visited before, my' first question is as to tho manners and oustoms of measuring work, which aro os various, and as whimsical ns you can conceive." In Gonscquenoa of acknowledged imperfeotion in ttio law of 1824, thoro aro tbroo kinds of woighta now used in ScotUnd—namely, pounds consisting severally of fourteen, sixteon, and sovontosn and lt is even proposed to introduce a pound,of oighteon ounces. Tho feos charged for verifying weights and mea knres are declared so high in England, that with some, this is an argument against any ch&ngo, in such common implements. Tho legal stamp of "verification was also stated to prove a shield, under Whioh false weight* may bo more securely used* than as a protection against fraud or extortion." The confessed irregularities in tho unitary values of different, weights, ordinarily employed by tko pcoploof England, is so great, that in an attempt to decido a wager about a remark&blo beast at & fair in Essex, three good judges of cattle, required to put upon papor their several ostimates of the livo woight, each was found to make his calcula tion hy a distinct unitary measure: I—a grasier, counted by scores of twenty pounds each; 2—a butcher,'by stones of fourteen pounds each; 3—a stock-dealer, by stones of eight pounds each; so that neither tho interested parties nor the judges could tell who hod won the boi; nor, for a long time, who had calolil&tcd the ox at tho greatest woight. .Each one declared ho could not form tho least Idea of it, "only in his own way!"—which did ’not happen to bo tho way of his neighbors. > Thoro arc also said to bo fifty ways of sdliug wheat in use in England. Tho unitary values of all British woights and measures bring originally defective, and tho ap parently simple connection between the coins and tho woights of comworco which once did exist be ing broken down, “tho principles” upon which suoh“arts" were primarily founded have boen lost or abandoned by tho people. From testimony taken before a soloct committee of tho House of Commons on a decimal coinago, ho confidence is had,in tbo modern arrange ments, for tho unitary valuos in tho money cur ronoy of Groat Britain, tho Master of thd Royal Mint having plainly 'declared " tho scale of monoy system now used in England is not founded upon any scientific principle!". Threo diverse elementary weights, derived from as’many antique, unknown, or doubtful sources, aro yot employed as distinct standard weights in the several processes of Mintege, namely : .First—To receive bullion and deoido its quanti ty after molting by tho Troy pound of twelve ounces, subdivided into twenty pennyweights and thier grains. . Socond—To report the quality of [metal, after assay, by twenty-four karat grains and thoir eighths. Third—To, designato proportions in the values of the eoinsby sterling pounds, shillings, pence, apd farthings. , In the mints of tho United States several modi fications of this intricate moneyed contrivance have !bton gradually, effected; :First—The Troy ounco, divided and multiplied decimally for quaotities.of bullion, discarded other portions of that standard woight, since 1837. ’Second—The French gramme for silver und tho half -gramme' for gold', with their several thou sandths. were adopted in 1835 as standards for qualities in calculation of assays, to displace karat grains and thoir divisions. . • Third—The sterling pound and its, awkward pro portions wero dropped at once in 1792, for an arbi» trary element of value and proportion derived from Spanish standard ; an accredited but defec- tive ‘.‘ounce of silver,” tbo sixteenth part of a ptmnd avoirdupois, subdivided and multiplied de cimally for “monoys of account.” The aot of Congress of the 2d of April, 1792, “establishing a Mint of the United Statos,” was founded upon a roport of tbo first Secretary of the Troasury, Alexander Hamilton. ( Ho considered “ a prerequisite for determining, with propriety/ what .ought to bo the monoy unit of tho United States, is to endeavor form its ac'ouroto an idea as tho nature of tho cuso will udrnit, of wlmt it ac tually is.” “The pound sterling,” ho said, “ though of various values, is ‘ the unit’ of the moneys of ac count of all thoStatos— formerly colonies of Great Britain.” , ' , “But It is not equally easy to pronounco what is to bo considered as ‘the un!t } in tho coins;” wbioh nooila to bo an established weight. Notwithstanding tho alterations for ooinago calcu- lation, introduced from tlmo to time, “the monoy acalo” of t?»o United States remains obnoxious to tho same comment, •“ irregularity in system,” like tho English, being copied in its outline from a disordered model, not founded on physical truth nor practical exactness, according to the highest scientific authorities in the British islands.' A systematic baso fur calculations of evory kind, uniform and intelligible throughout, is now ro quired for the coinage; the commerce, thourts, und thq professions of social life in Qroat Britain, for her colonies, and by tho United States. With regard to any unitary value in tho coius of our respective countries, the search will ho dif- ficult r for, in the mintage Of each, the gross quan tity is multiplied, in one pertain set of weights, by tho; quality, in another, distinct serios of weights and divided {into pieces,' proportioned by a third rapgo of frights; ovory admeasurement of oooh kind bring dorived from a different unitary origia, of remote character and doubtful perfeotiou.
