APPENDIX K.--_Values of certain Moneys, Weights, and Measures, occurring in this Book_.
FRENCH MONEY.
The LIVRE TOURNOIS of the period may be taken, on the mean of five valuations cited in a footnote at p. 87 of vol. i., as equal in _modern silver value_ to ... 18.04 _francs_.
Say English money ... 14_s._ 3.8_d._
The LIVRE PARISIS was worth one-fourth more than the _Tournois_,[1]
and therefore equivalent in silver value to ... 22.55 _francs_.
Say English money ... 17_s._ 10.8_d._
(Gold being then to silver in relative value about 12:1 instead of about 15:1 as now, one-fourth has to be added to the values based on silver in equations with the gold coin of the period, and one-fifth to be deducted in values based on gold value. By oversight, in vol. i. p. 87, I took 16:1 as the present gold value, and so exaggerated the value of the livre Tournois as compared with gold.)
