I've checked the online sites that translate monetary value from one year
to another, but the resulting figures result in a comparison that is more
abstract than concrete.
I'd be grateful for informed suggestions about the commodities (aside
from the book that prompts my inquiry) that a Virginian might buy in
Williamsburg in November 1764 for 3 pounds 2 shillings.
Thank you.
