Printed at Towne & Bacon's Excelsior Book and Job Printing Establishment, No. 536 Clay Street, Opposite Leidesdorff, 1867. Brown binding. About sixty or more pages total (pages are not numbered). About the first twenty or so pages are tables with the values of gold per troy ounce, from zero to nine hundred ninety ounces. About the next ten pages are very similar tables with the values of silver per troy ounce. This silver section is on light blue paper. The remaining pages consist of explanations, and conversions. The book has been exposed to moisture, as both the front and back covers are bent, peeling and have various stains. Contents are however in good condition with minor foxing. 2) Same book. Only contents, entire cover is missing. Not all pages are bound together. The last few page headers read, "tables prepared for Justinian Caire". Good condition with minor staining on the inside.
