TABLES 



SHOWING THE PROPORTION BETWEEN THE HESSIAN AND 

 ENGLISH STANDARD OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 



As the numbers throughout the Work have been stated 

 in reference to some common measure, it has been thought 

 advisable not to state the English equivalents to the Hessian 

 numbers in the text, lest they should distract the attention 

 of the reader by being placed in decimals. The numbers 

 do not represent absolute quantities, but are merely intended 

 to denote a proportion to other numbers ; so that it is quite 

 indifferent in what standard of weights or measures they 

 are stated. In almost every case where the term " Hessian 

 pounds " are employed, the word " parts " may be substi- 

 tuted. For those, however, who wish to be acquainted 

 with the exact English quantities, a table is given below. 



lib. English is equal to 0-9071 9 Ibs. Hessian; hence, 

 about one-tenth less than the latter. 



2 Ibs. Hessian are equal to 2-20 Ibs. English.
