Commons Report on Depreciation of Silver,” 1876, Appendix, pp. 11, 12, 24; Bourne, “Statistical Journal,” vol. xlii, p. 409, gives Sir H. Hay's figures corrected by him to 1878; Spofford's “American Almanac,” 1878, gives tables from the “Journal des Économistes”; the figures of Seyd, Hay, Jacob, and Tooke and Newmarch are in the “House of Commons Report,” above. Also see, supra, book iii, chap. vi, for references.
The relative values of gold and silver since 1834, as given in Pixley and Abell's (London) tables, are trustworthy. Previous to 1834 there is much uncertainty. Soetbeer, ibid., gives Hamburg quotations since 1687. Another table, probably incorrect in places, is that of White, see “Report of the International Monetary Conference,” 1878, p. 647.
