Excerpt from Measures, Weights, and Moneys of All Nations: And an Analysis of the Christian, Hebrew, and Mahometan CalendarsThe measures, weights, and moneys established throughout the world are so diversified in their comparative values and systematic relations that a correct classification of them is a task of greater magnitude than would commonly be sup posed. In the present work no labour has been spared to ascertain, in every case, the best attainable information, and the various details have been arranged with especial regard to facility of reference. With this object the materials appertaining to each locality are uniformly tabulated in the same order, and opposite to each separate quantity or value the English equivalent is distinctly exhibited, so as to obviate as much as possible the necessity of any calculation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
