AGRICULTURAL WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, 



As a source of reference to the readers of agricultural works, foreign as well as domestic, we have 

 deemed it useful to bring together in this place comparative views of the land and corn measure of Eng. 

 land, Scotland, and Ireland, and of different foreign countries. We have also given a general view of the 

 French metrical or decimal system, as being the most perfect which has hitherto appeared, and alone 

 worthy, in our opinion, of universal adoption. All young persons ought to make themselves masters of this 

 system as one likely to be in general use, at least in Europe, North America, and Australia, before they 

 become old men.
