TROY WEIGHT._The complete servant Being a practical guide to the peculiar duties and business of all descriptions of servants, from the housekeeper to the servant of all-work, and from the land steward to the foot-boy. With useful receipts and tables

N.B. _The Imperial Standard Troy Pound_, established in 1758,

containing 5760 Grains, became, May 1, 1825, the ONLY _genuine

standard weight from which all other weights are to be derived,

computed, and ascertained_.

24 Grains make 1 Pennyweight

20 Pennyweights 1 Ounce

12 Ounces 1 Pound

The proportion that _Avoirdupois_ bears to _Troy_ Weight, from

which it is derived, is as 7000, the number of Troy grains in a

pound Avoirdupois, is to 5760, the grains in a pound Troy. The

Pound _Avoirdupois_ makes 14 oz. 11 dwt. and 16 grains _Troy_; and

9 pounds Avoirdupois are equal to nearly 11 pounds Troy.

⁂ By _Troy_ weight Jewels, Gold, Silver, &c. are weighed.
