VIII. COINAGE. 



'Macaulay avers in his history that Newton independently, I suppose, of his public 

 action in reference to the Re-coinagehas left no exposition of his opinions touching the 

 currency. The eloquent historian thus leaves out of view the well-known Report of 1717, 

 upon which was based the reduction of the Guinea from 21 shillings and 6 pence to 21 

 shillings. It would seem, then, that the doctrinal importance of this Report had escaped 

 recognition from the English historian, though, as I have had occasion to ascertain, it was 

 the subject of appreciative comment in France and Prussia more than a century ago. Indeed, 

 I read it first in a German translation, printed at Berlin in 1762.' S. D. Morton's Silver 

 Pound, 1887.
