TABLES XIX. XXIV. 



TABLE XIX. 



SHOWS THE EQUIVALENT NUMBER OP SCOTCH ACRES, ROODS, FALLS, 

 AND ELLS, IN IMPERIAL ACRES, ROODS, AND POLES, FROM 1 POLE TO 

 3000 ACRES; ALSO, THE EQUIVALENT VALUE PER SCOTCH ACRE, 

 FROM Qd. TO 100 PER IMPERIAL ACRE. 



THE first and third columns on the left-hand side of the page 

 contain the poles, roods, and acres Imperial; the second and 

 fourth columns contain the equivalents in Scotch acres, roods, 

 falls, and ells; the fifth column contains the value per Imperial 

 acre, and the sixth column contains the equivalent value per 

 Scotch acre. 



The succeeding five Tables are so similar to this one, that no 

 description of them, or examples, will be necessary. It may be 

 proper, however, to state that the basis on which the Tables are 

 constructed is the proportion which the Imperial, Scotch, and Irish 

 acres bear to one another; thus, the Imperial acre contains 4810 

 square yards, taking the Scotch ell as measuring 37.0598 Impe- 

 rial inches, the Scotch acre will contain 6104.1279 square yards, 

 and the Irish acre contains 7840 square yards. The equivalents 

 in measure and value are calculated in these proportions. 



With the exception of the Tables in which Imperial and Irish 

 measures are compared together, fractions under a foot are ne- 

 glected ; in turning Imperial and Irish measures into Scotch, the 

 tractions of an ell are. set down in the decimal form ; and the 

 money equivalents are set down to the nearest farthing. 



The subjoined Table of Imperial, Scotch, and Irish land mea- 

 sures is given for convenience of reference. 



Imperial. 



9 feet = 1 yard. 

 30 J yards = 1 pole. 

 40 poles = 1 rood. 



4 roods = 1 acre. 



Irish. 



9 feet = 1 yard. 

 49 yards = 1 pole. 

 40 poles = 1 rood. 



4 roods = 1 acre. 



Scotch. 



9.5377feet = 1 ell. 

 36 ells == 1 fall. 



40 falls = 1 rood. 



4 roods = 1 acre. 



EXAMPLE I. A field measures 28 acres, 3 roods, 29 poles Im- 

 perial, what is its content in Scotch acres, <fec. ; and what is its 

 value per Scotch acre at the rate of 60 per Imperial acre?
