11877 MILLER (William Hallowes, F.R.S., Prof. Mineralogy, Cantab.} On the CONSTRUCTION of 

 the NEW IMPERIAL STANDARD POUNDS ; on the Comparison of the New Standards with the 

 KILOGRAMME des ARCHIVES; and on the Construction of Secondary Standard Pounds, a Ten- 

 Pounds Weight, a Kilogramme, and a Series of Troy Ounce Weights, roy. 4to (pp. 196), sewn, 

 with author's inscr. to K. A. Steinheil, 8s Qd 1857 



1 Another important work in which Miller had a large share was the reconstruction of the standards of length and weight 

 which had been destroyed in 1834 when the Houses of Parliament were burnt. He gave an account of the operations for 

 restoring the value of the standard of weight in the 'Philosophical Transactions' [supra].' D. N. B.

' Miller developed a. system of crystallography which was far more simple, symmetrical, and adapted to mathematical 

 calculations than any which has yet been devised. Miller's system was published in 1839 ; it quickly obtained favour, and 

 has more than maintained its ground with mineralogists.' Prof. Bonney, pr., F.R.S. 



'His system gave expressions adapted for working all the problems that a crystal can present, audit gave them in a form 

 that appealed at once to the sense of symmetry and appropriateness of the mathematician . . . He thus placed the keystone 

 into the arch of the science of crystallography.' Prof. Maskelyne, F.R.S.
