An excerpt explores Locke’s principles on coinage amid rising bullion prices and foreign exchanges. It analyzes intrinsic value versus nominal pound sterling, arguing an altered standard would not change intrinsic metal value and detailing calculations of imports exports and balances under a five percent value shift.
A letter explains how changing the money standard affects prices in England and Holland. It models a transaction where a yard of cloth shifts from 20 to 36 Dutch shillings, equivalent to 20 shillings sterling, and shows the implied profits. It argues such a change raises all foreign goods in England and discusses public finance concerns about compensating diminished gold coin and potential moral hazards.
An 18th or 19th century letter debates rising prices and changing living habits. It notes more people living in luxury, doubled or tripled plantage and meat costs over twenty to thirty years, and shifts in diet and domestic spaces. It contrasts the affluent class with the lower, highlighting wasteful provisions and altered urban tables.
Fragmentary OCR text mentions rare taste of food, once common only on holidays, with unclear subject and timing. The readable portion suggests nostalgia and infrequent meals, but lacks concrete names, places, or events to anchor a fuller summary.
A fragment reflects on happiness not in riches but in inner freedom and content. The speaker seeks a mind independent and free, valuing meditation and cheerful content over pride and worldly possessions. The passage notes that pleasures affordable to all beings suffice for health and wisdom, while much labor ends in vanity.
A 19th century notice records a sermon occasioned by the death of Susanna, late wife of Rev Mr Britain, preached at Lane near Whitechapel. The oblation is priced sixpence and printed by Buckland and others in London.
