Report on the Edinburgh Mint
Contents
Advises that the Edinburgh Mint has only one clerk, and that the processes and bookkeeping methods used there do not conform to English practice, with which none of their officers is familiar. Suggests David Gregory and one of the London clerks be sent to instruct them, and requests that a salary for this service be decided on. The London Mint will supply Edinburgh with dies and puncheons until the Edinburgh engraver's work is found satisfactory.
