Reynolds (John 'of the Mint') A Brief and Easie way by Tables, to cast up Silver..., title in red and black within typographic border, by Thomas Fawcet, 1651 [colophon dated 1652]; bound with 4 other works (in 2 vol.) by the same author, A2 recto with manuscript corrections in the author's hand, another work with two-column table also in Reynold's hand and with some corrections to printed figures throughout and at the end "The last of Sept. 1663 This Booke examined By me John Reynolds of ye Mynt", uniformly bound in contemporary sheep, red morocco label to one volume, the other with spine rubbed, Macclesfield library copies with bookplates and small embossed stamps, 8vo, 1651-63. ⁂ Fine collection of five very rare or unique tabular tracts on mensuration, gauging, and the casting-up of silver, gold, and pewter, by the best-known master of the mint before Isaac Newton. Reynolds's lifelong career as assay-master (at Goldsmiths' Hall) and assistant master and master of the Royal Mint (1648-52, 1652-63) has been studied by C. E. Challis, in 'John Reynolds and the Sterling Standard', British Numismatic Journal 62 (1992), 237-46, and more generally in his New History of the Royal Mint (1992). Reynolds's various 'Tables', although of lasting use and influence in their time, were published privately, almost certainly in small quantities, designed for colleagues and subordinates in the Government of Charles II. As practical handbooks, their printed text was subject to amplifications and corrections (not, for the most part, yet recognized by ESTC-online), and when these could not be instantly provided in the press, Reynolds himself (as here) seems to have supplied his own MS updates, and certified copies of his works by signing them. The four other works comprise: Untitled table of four leaves, 'By the Proclamation, / 1662. / Crowne Gold of 22. Carrets', Not found in Wing or ESTC-online, but the BL has a copy; The Pewterers Mold ... by John Reynold [sic] of the Mynt. Printed by T. F. 1662, Not in Wing or ESTC-on-line; A Table Concerning the Line of Measure. Composed by John Reynolds of the Mint, 1662, Not in Wing or ESTC-on-line; For Emptiness. A Short and easie way by Tables for finding out the Emptiness of any Casks. Calculated by me John Reynalds of the Mynt. London, Printed by T. F. for the Author, 1663, with three blank leaves at the end containing further manuscript notes on wine casks from Bordeaux and Spain, etc., in the hand of the rear-pastedown annotator of (1) above. A very early English attempt at systematic 'gauging' tables, which were essential to Excise inspectors for determining quantities of wine and spirits imported, Not in Wing or ESTC-on-line.
