[772] Attention is called to the fact that during the years mentioned
in the following table currency greatly depreciated. This depreciation
was most marked in 1779, when, in January, the ratio was 8 to 1; and in
November of the same year 38½ to 1. See Dewey, D. R., _Financial History
of U. S._, 39; also page 212.

[782] The yearly meetings also established schools; such was the case in
London Yearly, and Philadelphia followed in 1799 with the establishment
of Westtown Boarding School in Chester County. Justice cannot be done
to that institution in this work. The reader is referred to Dewes, _A
History of Westtown Boarding School_.
