The ammunition bread is reckoned in this estimate 

 at two kreutzers the Bavarian pound, which is about 

 what it costs at a medium ; and, as the daily allowance 

 of the soldiers is i^- Bavarian pounds of this bread, 

 this reckoned in money amounts to three kreutzers a 

 day ; and this added to his pay, 2Xfive kreutzers a day^ 

 makes eight kreutzers a day, which is the whole of his 

 allowance from the sovereign for his subsistence. 



But it appears from the foregoing account that he 

 expends for food no more than 5^!- kreutzers a day. 

 There is therefore a surplus amounting to 2\\ kreutzers 

 a day, or very near one third of his whole allowance, 

 which remains, and which he can dispose of just as 

 he thinks proper.
