tion of tho inscription Frsncornm Rex.
The sou II from tho Latin soiidus.
The word shilling seems to be- derived
from root signifying to divide: and
In aeycral eases tho hume indicates
the fraction of somc larger coin, N tho
dcnarins, ha'f.pcnny, farthing. cent and
mill. The pound was originally not u
coin. but a weight, and comes from tho
Latin pondns. Our pound originally
was pound of silver. which was di.
vided into 40 pennies. Tho origin of
the word penny II unknown. Some
have derived il from pendo. to weigh;
but this does not seem very satisfactory.
Onr word sterling il sa,. 10 20 back
to tho time of the conquest. hut tho
derivation has leen much disputed.
Some have supposed TINT IL WAS tirst
attributed 10 coius struck at Stirling,
but for this there il not tho sIightest
evidence; others, that the name was
derived from coins having star on tho
diverse, Int no coins which could have
given rise to sncll name are known.
The most probable suggestion IL that II
has reference to the Eastcring or North
German merchants English mngd-
rive.
