Salaries Of the Sixteenth Century.


The stipend of John Knox was 400 merks-
o sum which has been represented as very pal
try, and which will appear so to all who esti-
mate the Scotch shilling as equivalent to al
English penny. According to this valuation
Knox's salary, would be in sterling none,
E22 As. Sd. But the fact is, that at this time
the Scottish coin had not depreciated so much n
value. Ultimately the Scotch money fell Il
about twelfth rart of the value of sterling
coin, 80 that pound of the one was worth nc
more than 1s. Sd. ofthe other. But at the same
time we speak of the Scotch money, in itf
downard fall, had reached only half way to
this its lowest deep, and the 400 merks were
equal to &44 8s. 10d Of sterling coin. II We
compare this sum either with the price of pro-
visions, or with the salaries paid to other inn
portant funotionaries, we shall find that Knox
had no reason to complain of his treatment.--
Comparing II with the price of grain
Principal Lee states that Knox's salary was
equivalent to stipend OF about Is chslders
which is above the average of the beneices in
Scotland. ~ ngall t.ii 4,
At about the same time Bordeaux wine was
sold In Scotland for about sos sterling the ton.
In England the same price for hogshead ol
Gascon wine was considered an enormous charge
and Malmsey wine was sold for Id quart. II
appears that In Scotland the price of q sheep
was Is. 3D., sterling, and butter sold fof l6d the
stone. Taking oil things into account, It would
appear that E44 in the middle of the 18th CEN
tury is very nearly equivalent to $500 in the
middle of the 18th. If we take the comparison
from different point Of view, placing Knox g
emoluments besides those OF other public men,
it will also be found that he was exceedingly
well paid. The Judge, Of the Court Of Sessions
In those days had smaller salaries than Knox,
each being entitled to little more than ESQ ster.
ling. In 1549 the Chief Justice of the Kings
Bench in England had salary of f70' At the
accession Of Henry eact Baron ofthe Excheouer
had but E46 l3s. 3d., the Chief Baron El00, and
theC Chancellor Of theE f26 l3s 4d, Rog.
er Ascham, as Latin Secretary to Queen Mary,
had salary of E20. Principal Lee, further
states that about the same period the Professor
Of Greek in Kings College, Cambridge, had q
lalary Of E40, the Kings Professor Of Divinity
n Oxford, q smaller sum, and that as TO l540
he Margaret Professor at Cambrige had but

therefore,, It viii be seen that Knox enjoying
