Excerpt from The Farmer's Land-Measurer, or Pocket Companion: Showing, at One View, the Content of Any Piece of Land From Dimensions Taken in Yards, With a Set of Useful Agricultural Tables This work consists of Tables, so constructed as to give the content of any regular piece of land, measuring from one yard in length and breadth, to five hundred, by the addition of not more than three sums. And should the length or breadth exceed five hundred yards, its content may readily be found, by observing the rules which will be given in the course of the work. And to render the book as useful as possible, the preference is given to the use of yards, rather than to rods, or chains and links: as all farmers can tell the length and breadth of a piece of land' by pacing or stepping it, therefore, in most cases, the content of a field might thus be known, without using rod or chain, sufficiently exact for paying labourers' wages, ascertaining the quantity of land ploughed in any given time, manuring, or apportioning seed at the time of sowing, as well as for harvesting the crops, without the necessity of employing a person to survey and measure - thus settling tri¿ing disputes between masters and workmen, to the satisfaction of both, without calling in the aid of a third party.
