842 Report of tbe Committee 
To make ufe of this table, feek in the uppermoft ho- 
rizontal line the degree of the thermometer anfwering to 
that point of the tube which is two inches above the 
ball; and in the left-hand column feek the degrees of 
the fecond fet of divifions; the correfponding numbers 
in the table are the correfponding degrees of the firft fet, 
or the degrees which they muft be fet oppolite to. The 
right-hand perpendicular column fhews the heat which 
the quickfilver in the tube was fuppofed to be of in 
forming this table. 
Though this fecond fet of divifions be far from accu- 
rate, yet it is at Iealt as much fo as a thermometer ad- 
jufted in the latter method can be ; fo that this double fet 
of divifions pofiTeffes all the advantages which can be ex- 
pected from that method of adjufting thermometers, 
without the inconveniences..
