The above catalogue of articles is selected from 

 a list of near four hundred commodities, with 

 the highest price at which it was lawful to sell 

 them. If it does not throw much light on the 

 production and consumption of gold and silver, 

 the intelligent reader may be gratified in contrast- 

 ing the relative prices of one class of commodities 

 with those of another, and the rate of human 

 labour to them respectively. The whole of this 

 valuable document, as collected by M. Vsescovali 

 and Mr. Banks, and corrected by Col. Leake, 

 has been with great propriety preserved in the 

 first volume of the Transactions of the Royal 

 Society of Literature, and has been translated 

 into English by the colonel, and appended to 

 his " Journal of a Tour in Asia Minor, &c."
