7. A common measure of weight in use through- 
out the northwest and central countries of Eu- 
rope, but varying much in different countries. 
The English imperial standard stone is 14 pounds avoir- 
dupois, and is commonly used in England in giving the 
weight of a man, but other values are in common use, vary- 
ing with the article weighed : thus, the stone of butchers' 
meat or fish is 8 pounds, of cheese 16 pounds, of glass 5 
pounds, of alum l:U pounds, of hemp usually 32 pounds, 
though a statute of George II. made ft 16 pounds, and one 
of Henry VIII. 20 pounds; of lead 12 pounds, though the 
statute de pondfribus makes it 15 pounds of 25 "shillings " 
each, equal to 14i pounds avoirdupois. There were in the 
early part of the nineteenth century many local stones in 
use in England, but in the United States this unit is un- 
known. The stone of 14 pounds is not recognized in the 
statute de ponderibus, and first appears as a weight for 
wool. The old arithmetics call 14 pounds half a quarter,
