The Rare First Edition (1773) of Etheridge's pocket-sized, ready-reckoner giving prices (Pounds, shillings and Pence) for a huge variety of gold and silver quantities. Plus a table of gold prices for the then present price of 3l.17s.10d.2q. per ounce. Described on the title page as: "A Work very necessary at this Time for all Persons who are concerned in Money Transactions." Consists: 1. Tables for buying and selling of gold (107 paginated pages), 2. "To The Reader" (pp.111-112), 3. Table for reducing gold and silver bullion to standard weight (6 pp.), including how to use the Table, worked examples and Troy Weight scale. 4. Table 2: For Standarding of Gold (4 pp.) 5. Folding plate/table. Bibliographically 12mo (horizontal chain-lines on handmade paper) 5.25 inches tall. Ideally suited for rebinding as there is very little spine left and the contemporary leather binding is very badly worn (but treated and clean) and only just holding to the text block which itself is firm and appears complete, though that cannot be confirmed. Soft paper pages are clean and free of foxing - pleasingly so given the book's age. A few old and small ink stains here and there and with a contemporary handwritten text opposite the title page relating to the prices of silver tablespoons and silver teaspoons. Although suitable for rebinding the book retains a certain battered, well-used charm in its present state. 20% price reduction nowapplied.…
