Notes

Mint 19/1/250 adds a passage deploring the unequal coining that was normal when Newton first came to the Mint, but which has since been largely rectified.||Mint 19/1/251 and Mint 19/1/291 recommend the use of antimony as the best way of refining gold, 'But the Refiners of this city know not how to Refine gold by Antimony'.
