Excerpt from Lecture Upon Locke's School of Money: The Principles and Practice of Locke's "School of Money" And Unsound Currency Substitutes for Money, 1695, Arithmetically Unveiled to the Easy Comprehension of Travellers, Sailors, and Soldiers of to-Day

The chain rule presents an easy and most admirably adapted method for working all financial and commercial sums. When the formation of the chain is once acquired, there is pleasure and satisfaction to those who work it. The equivalence of the different monetary weights of countries, and between their different weights and measures are arrived at by a natural sequence, while the percentage charges involved in an operation also find a suitable place of more or less according to the desired answer.

The following examples are problems of currency interchanges used by all who have dealings in currency. Not more than one or two illustrations of the combination of the interchange of financial and commercial property with the interchange of currency intermediaries will be given.
