TABLE I. 



LAND MEASURING. 



THIS TABLE SHOWS THE CONTENT OP ANT FIELD OR PIECE OP LAND 

 FROM 6 INCITES, OR J OF A YARD, TO 1100 YARDS, OR 50 CHAINS 

 LONG, AND FROM 3 INCHES TO 2000 YARDS BROAD, IMPERIAL 

 MEASURE. 



EACH page is divided into 4 columns : the column on the left 

 contains the various lengths in yards and 6ths of a yard; on the 

 tops of the other 3 columns are placed the breadths, rising in 

 succession; under which, and opposite any required length in the 

 first column, stands the content of each in acres, roods, poles, 

 yards, and feet; fractions under a square foot being omitted. 



In calculating the content of a field, as the exact dimensions 

 may not be found in the Table, the length or breadth may re- 

 quire to be divided into two or more portions, the content of each 

 taken severally from the Table, and the results added together. 



EXAMPLES. 



1. Required the content of a field 300 yards long and 139 

 yards broad? 



Find 139 yards broad on the top of page 56, under which, 

 and opposite 300 yards in the left hand column, stands 8 

 acres, 2 roods, 18 poles, 15 yards, and 4 feet, the content 

 of the field. 



2. Required the content of a piece of ground 721 yards, 1 foot, 

 long, by 398 yards broad? 



As 721 yards, 1 foot, in length, are not to be found at once in 

 the Table, they must be taken in portions, as follows, viz., 700 

 yards, 21 yards, and 1 foot: 



Find 398 yards, the breadth, on the top of page 143, 



under which, \ ,_ nn , /in the left hand\ !, C ' ' P ' **' ' 

 and opposite/ 70 y aids > \ column, stands / 5T 2
