NB: Financial calculations from British pounds in a given year to American dollars as of 2006 (which is as far as the Web site goes as of this writing) were obtained from: www.measuringworth.com/calculators. Since one British pound was roughly equivalent to $2 in 2006 and remains more or less $2 as of this writing in 2007, I doubled the pound amount calculated from the year in question to its current (2006) worth, and the figures I provided “in today’s economy” and similar wording are rounded numbers, not intended to be an exact calculation but to give readers a general sense of the value of the monetary bequest then and now.
