Summary
"The purpose of this handbook is to provide sufficient information of a technical and statistical nature to allow the reader to convert a sum stated in one money into its equivalent in another money. It is limited in time to the colonial era before the American Revolution; it is limited in territory to the Atlantic world."--Page 3.
