is about twelve and one half ells distance, and the 

 other fifteen, and the view being angular, and not 

 from opposite sides, makes the trees stand at about 

 ten and one half ells. 



The Scots ell, according to several Acts of Parlia- 

 ment, is three foot one inch, or 37 inches long : six 

 ells long multiplied by 6 ells broad, is 36, a f all-squair : 

 10 falls in length and 4 in breadth, is 40, a rood- 

 squair : 40 falls in length and 4 in breadth, is 160 per 

 acre. See the table of superficial squair measure. 

 And those who desire long measure, six ells is a fall, 

 forty falls a furlong, eight furlongs a mile. See the 

 table.
