To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
of silver, mixed with 18 dwts. of alloy, would be 925 in the thousand. Mexican dollars are a mixture of 10 oz. 16} dwts. of silver, with 1 oz. 8} dwts. of alloy. Hence all the excess of alloy over the English standard would be called " worseness," and they would be reported worse 6} dwts. The decimal weighing of such an assay, if truly made to the Mexican standard, would be 902.7 ; actually worse 5 dwts. 8 grains : but as trade reports are only made to each } dwt., it would be reported W 5} dwt...s. To take one other example, the French standard contains 900 parts of silver with 100 of alloy : now this is exactly equal to 10 oz. 16 dwts. of silver with 1 oz. 4 dwts. of alloy. Hence this would exactly worse 6 dwts. On the other hand, certain Indian rupees contain 950 parts of silver with 50 of alloy : this would be equal to 11 oz. 8 dwts. of silver with 12 dwts. of alloy. Hence the trade report for these would be better 6 dwts. The first step, then, in the assay of a specimen of alloyed silver, is the careful weighing of an assay SILYEB.
