From the introduction to this paper we learn, that in the year 1798, His Majesty was pleased to appoint a committee of members of his Privy Council, to take into consideration the state of the coins of the kingdom ; and that this committee, having remarked the considerable loss which the gold coin in particular had sustained by wear within certain periods, had applied to Mr. Cavendish and Mr. Hatchett for their opinion what were the causes of this diminution, and what remedy might be applied to the defects by which it is occasioned.
