Land Measurements, showing the Contents of a Piece of Land of almost

Measure Land in any quantity by Chains and Links, or by Yards and Feet. 
Also, telling how to describe a piece of laDd in deeding it. Also, giving in¬ 
formation as to acquiring and locating a Farm on the Public Lands of the 
United States. By B. H. Day, This Ready-Reckoner is composed of 
Original Tables which are positively correct, having been revised in the 
most careful manner. The Table of Aggregate Yalues of Merchandise 
or Produce by the Piece, Pound, Yard, Foot, Inch, Gallon, Quart, 
Pint, Peck, or' Bushel, from an eighth up to 100 cents, bringing in all 
necessary fractions. This set of Tables is very complete for reckoning 
the aggregate values of articles priced at almost any fractional part of a 
dollar, and is of course applicable to articles of any price whatever, over a 
dollar. It is perfect in this respect. The second set of Tables give the 
value by the ounce of articles sold by the pound from two cents per pound, 
cent by cent up to’one dollar per pound. The Table of Wages by the Week, 
showing the Wages from a fourth of a day un to four weeks. The rates of 
wages begin at twenty-five cents and gradually rise up to twenty dollars 
per week. Tables of Wages by the Month, show the Wages per day and 
for any number of days in the month from one dollar* up to one hundred 
dollars per month. Tables of Salaries by the Year, show the amount of the 
Salary for one day, and for any number of days up to one month, begin¬ 
ning at twenty dollars, and rising gradually up to fifteen hundred dollars 
a-year. Tables of Board by the Week give the board for one day, increas¬ 
ing one day at a time up to four weeks, then the board for thirty days and 
thirty-one days at rates from one dollar, increasing gradually up to fifty 
dollars per week. The Interest Tables show the rates at five, six, seven 
and eight per cent, on any amount, from one day up to one year. Then 
come the Board, Plank and Timber Tables, showing the Contents of 
Boards, Planks, Round Logs, and other Timber ; also, the Wood and Land 
Measurements. These Tables are all prefaced by explanations telling ex¬ 
actly how to make the measurements, and giving easily understood exam¬ 
ples, so that any person can measure for himself if he don’t want to use 
the tables, or distrusts them. This is, indeed, the most simple and easily 
understood Ready-Reckoner ever printed. Most books of this kind are 
hard to understand, and that is why we wanted to print one with explana¬ 
tions how the reckoning should be done. We think purchasers of this book 
will be satisfied that we have succeeded in making a Reckoner that any¬ 
body can comprehend. It is a book of 192 pages, and embraces more mat¬ 
ter than 500 pages of any other Reckoner. Bound in boards, with cloth
