1» order to establish this system he proposes the following coins only to be used : 
iMih of a cent, 2 tenths of a cent, 4 tenths of a cent, m copper; 1 cent, 2 cents, 
Jeotj, 5cents. 10 cents, in silver. 
Tie three new copper coins should be marked tV cent, -fis cent and cent, and 
arbfofthe same size nearly as our present farthing, halfpenny and penny pieces, 
fenThichtheywillonlydiffer in legal value by one twcnly-fittb part m defect, in 
Bosqusnee of the pound sterling being divided into 1000 tenth parte of a cent 
of 960 farthings. The new silver coins proposed will be equal to two nonce 
te-tenths. to four pence eight-tenths, to seven pence two-tenths, to one 
•i»two shHIines, of our present moue\', respectively, and must have their value m 
abnarkfd on each, which will soon impress the new monetary nomeudature on 
'* Biadsof the people and obliterate the memory of ahillmgs, pence and Usings, 
«8pl ia refetrine back to the old coinage for the sake of comparison. He does not 
aMmotod any silver coin of greater value than the 10 cent piece, because no ing 
•wed IQ weight by such coins asonr present half-crown and crown pieces^, w i 
s^gbe trouble by rendering it difficult to obtain change. It a com "f the value 
4 S5 ctots, equal to our present crown piece, were considered necessary, e 
jrtsr having one of gold, which would save weight. r.
