hist-brewing: Those references!

[bjm10 at cornell.edu]

Okay, here are those promised references that said that, while the Troy 
pound was the "legal" pound of England in the 15th-16th centuries, the 
Tower and Avoirdupois pounds were actually far more common in daily usage:


        TITLE:   British weights & measures : a history from antiquity to the
                   seventeenth century / Ronald Edward Zupko.
  AUTHOR/NAME:   Zupko, Ronald Edward.
    PUBLISHED:   Madison : University of Wisconsin Press, 1977.

        TITLE:   A dictionary of weights and measures for the British 
Isles :
                   the Middle Ages to the twentieth century / Ronald Edward
                   Zupko.
  AUTHOR/NAME:   Zupko, Ronald Edward.
    PUBLISHED:   Philadelphia : American Philosophical Society, 1985.

Yes, both are by the same author, but he gives different little bits of 
information and source citations in each.
