CHRONOLOG 



APPENDIX, No. III. 



A CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE of the prjccs of com and several other necessary ar- 

 ticles, and also of salaries, wages, marriage portions, ransoms of captives, &c. in 

 England and Scotland ; by a comparison of which with the tables in the appendix, 

 N II, the real value of money, through all the stages of its diminution and depre- 

 tiation, may be ascertained with tolerable accuracy. 



N. B. Scottish articles are distinguished by Italic letters, and the money is con- 

 sequently Scottish, which since the fourteenth century has been generally lighter 

 than the English money of the same denomination. 



The authority for every article in this table is constantly produced, and the 

 particular passage accurately marked. 



Works chronologically arranged are generally quoted without particular refer- 

 ence, the year being sufficient.
