Abstract

A public market for bullion and foreign coins flourished in London for most of the eighteenth century. Prices were published by Houghton (1969) and Freke,1 but Castaing’s Course of the Exchange provides a remarkable record over an extended period.2 Professor Mayhew encouraged us to study these prices when he was Director of the Winton Institute for Monetary History at the Ashmolean Museum. It is therefore a great pleasure to report some of the results of this project in this volume.
