EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES.

The figures in the first column of each table denote the number

of pounds, yards, &.; and the money columns are headed with the

respective prices of the article. So, if you want to know what

19 lbs. of beef come to at 5½d. per lb. look for the column headed

5½d. (Table III.) and opposite to 19 in the first column, under

that head you will find 8s. 8½d., which is the amount. In this

manner the price of any quantity of goods, at any price, may be

instantly ascertained.
