Note: The pound in general use in the United States and in
England is the pound avoirdupois, which is divided into
sixteen ounces, and contains 7,000 grains. The pound
troy is divided into twelve ounces, and contains 5,760

a pound troy of silver, and a shilling was its
twentieth part; consequently the latter was three times
as large as it is at present. --Peacham.
