TABLES I'^OR CONVERTING INCHES AND POUNDS INTO THEIR METRIC EQUIVALENTS 



AND THE REVERSE. 



*^* lu the tables and calculations of the preceding pages, the metric value of all the weights 

 and measures employed has been stated alongside. It was the primary intention to introduce this 

 desirable feature into the tables which fill the second volume of this work, but the space required 

 would have extended them so inconveniently that it was found necessary to abandon the plan. 

 The following tables will be found useful in the reduction of inches and pounds to metric values, 

 or of converting metric terms into their equivalents in English weights and measures.
