Excerpt: .and fractions in almost every case, and, in fact, rendering every arithmetical computation, in which shillings and pence are involved, as simple as if they were omitted; but in all transactions of foreign exchanges, interest, and accounts, affording facilities which can only be appreciated by commercial men. I need mention but one example to convey to every one a sense of its importance: --If we write down the first six integers, 1 2 3, 4 5 6, as a number, we put, between the 3 and the 4, a comma, cutting off the three last figures; and, supposing these six integers to express a sum of money, the same comma, or a point, will then divide the pounds from the fractional parts of a pound; and the same figures will express the sum in pounds, in florins, in stivers, or in farthings, without further adjustment or alteration, as 123 pounds, 4 florins, 5 stivers, and 6 farthings, or as 123,456 Whenever the shillings happen to be of an odd number, the sum carried to the farthings must of course always consist of Is. or 48 farthings, rendering the transfer almost as easy, both ways, as if there was nothing carried. farthingskor as 1234 florins, and 56 farthings, or in any terms we may think proper to express it. And if it be required to transfer this sum from the new to the old notation, it is done at once by taking the pounds as they stand, doubling the fiorins, and adjusting the farthings; and it stands at once, in the old notation, at 1231., 8 shillings, and 56 farthings, that is, 14 pence, making 1231. 9s. 211. And the inverse reduction of this is performed by retaining the pounds, halving the shillings, and adjusting the farthings, viz. 123 retained as pounds, the half of 9s. viz. 4, as the florins, and the residue, viz. Is. 211., .<
