The value of Gold in proportion to silver in several parts of Europe.

The Ecu or French Lewis goes now in France for 3liv. 16sols & is worth 4s 6d English & thence the Livre is worth 1s. 2d∟21. The Lewid'or goes for 14 livres which amount to 16s. 6d∟94 English. At which rate a Guinea is worth 1li. 0s. 8d∟19. For as 17s 2d∟8 (the value of an new coynd Lewid'or in England according to the Table) to 16s. 6d∟94 (the value of the same in France) so is 21s. 6d the value of a Guinea in England to 20s. 8d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$.

By the French Kings Edict of Sept 17, 1701, the Mark of fine gold is valued at 494 livres 6 sols 4 deniers & the Marck of fine silver at 32 livres 16 sols 7 deniers. According to which proportion a Guinea of just weight & fineness is worth 20s 8d$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ in silver monies of just weight & fineness.

The Ducat is coyned every where in the Empire & some northern countries adjoyning of the same weight & fineness, excepting that the Hungary Ducats are more certainly of full value. It is coyned for two old Rix Dollers of the Empire or nine shillings & usually goes at that rate or within two or three styvers more or less whereas in England it is worth 9s. 6d∟3. But if the Rix Doller be of a lower value as are the Rix Dollers of Holland Flanders Danemarck & several parts of Germany the Ducat may go for two Rix Dollers & 6, 8 or 10 Styvers or above

In Holland the Guilder is worth 20∟82 pence & the styver is 1∟041 as may appear by the table of monies. And there the Ducat goes usually for 5 Guilders & about five styvers, that is in our money for 9s. 1d∟3. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20. 6d$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$.

The Lewid'or goes in Holland for 9 Guilders & about 9 styvers that is for 16s. 4d$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20s 5d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$

In the Countries of the Electors of Brandenburg Saxony & Hannover & Dukes of Zell Brunswick Lunenburg Wolfenbuttel & some other places, are coyned Guildens or Guilders of one & the same value by consent of the Princes tho of various allays. These Guilders consist of 16 Gute Groshes & 24 Marien Groshes & 46 Marien Grosses are accounted the value of an old Rixdoller or 4s 6d English, so that a Guilder is worth 2s 4d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$ or thereabouts. By the Table it is worth 2s. 4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{7}}$d Now a Ducat goes in the Countries above mentioned for 3$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ Guilders that is for 8s 9d$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{7}}$ english, & sometimes for one or two Grosses more. If it be valued at 9s, a Guinea at that rate will be worth 20s 4d.

In the same Countries a Lewidor is valued at 7 Guilders or thereabouts, that is at 16s 5d. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20s. <3r> 5$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$d.

At Hamborough the Ducat goes for two Dollars & about 8 or 9 sols or sols of Lubec. This Doller is three Marks lubs or 48 sols lubs, recconing 16 sols to a mark. But the Cross Doller (which is worth 4s. 4d∟91) goes for 52 sols lubs & therefore the other Doller which goes but for 48 sols lubs is worth 4s 0∟84d or thereabouts. The Marcks & sols lubs are there accounted double to the Marcks & sols Dans or of Danemarck, & the four Marck piece or crown of Danemarck goes at Hamborough for two Marcks lubs, and by the assay of severall pieces is worth 2s 8d∟4. And at this rate three Marcks lubs are worth 4s. 0d∟6. This is the value of the common Hamborough Doller; & two Dollers & nine sols Lubs (the value of the Ducat) are 8s. 10d∟4. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20s. 0$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$d.

At Dantzick Gold is very scare. The Ducat is there valued at about 7 Guilders 12 Gross or two Banck Dollers wanting four Gross, that is at about 8s. 10d∟09: the Banck Doller which is worth about 4s 6d consisting of 3 Guilders 23 Gross & a Guilder consistingof 30 Gross. And at this rate Guinea is worth 19s. 11d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$.

At Geneva the Hungary Ducat was lately valued at two Ecus & 2 or 3 sols of France, that is at 9s 2d or 9s 3d. At which rates a Guinea is worth about 20s 09d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$. There also the Lewidor was lately valued at 3$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ Ecus of France or 16s 10$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d. At which rate a Guinea is worth 21s. 0$\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}$d. But gold was lately higher in France then at present which might raise the price of Lewidors at Geneva.

At Genoa the Croisat goes for 7$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ lires and is worth 6s 6d$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ & therefore the Lire of Genoa is 10d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$. And there the Pistole is valued at 17$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ lires that is 15s. 3$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$d.

At Florence & Legorn the silver Ducat goes for 7 Lires & is worth 5s. 4d∟63 & therefore the Lire of Florence is 9d∟233. And there & at Legorn the Pistole goes for 20 lires or 15s 4d$\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}$, & the Lewidor & Spanish Pistole for 20 or 21 lires.

At Naples the Ducat of silver is worth 3s 4d∟34. And there the Pistole as I am informed goes for 4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ Ducats or 15s. 2d.

At Rome three Iulios make a Teston & the Teston is worth 1s. 6d∟2 And there the Pistole of Italy goes for ten Testons or 15s. 2d & the Spanish Pistole for ten Testons & a Iulio or 15s. 8d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{15}}$.

At Ancona in the Gulph of Venice the Hungary Ducat goes for 16 Iulios or 8s. 9d∟4, the Pistole of Italy for 30 Iules or 15s 2d & the Spanish Pistole for 31 Iulios or 15s. 8d.

So that Gold seems to be lower in Italy then in France.
