Pefos y Medidas Decimales fundados en 
Ia Naturaleza, por D. GABRIEL Ciscar, 
Capitan de ta Real Armada, Miembro de 
Ja Comifion de Pefos y Medidas del Infti- 
tuto Nacional de Francia por parte de S. 
Ti. Catdlica.” An Elementary Memoir 
on the New Weights, and Decimal Mea- 
feres, founded in Nature, by Dr G.Cifcar, 
Capt. of the Royal Navy, and Member of 
che Committee of Weights and Meafures 
of the National inftitute of France on the 
part of his Catholic Majefty. The cele- 
brated author of this mafterly compofition, 
who is one of the ableft officers of the Spa- 
nifh navy, and ranks among the moft pre- 
found mathematicians of our age, explains 
the chief imperfections of the units of the 
weights and meafures which have hitherto 
been in ufe, fhows the advantages of the 
new metric fyftem, deduced from nature, 
-and illuftrates that fyftem, fubftituiing ‘a 
Spanith nomenclature in the room of the 
Grzco-Latin adopted by the French. He 
them proceeds to expofe the reafons why 
the extenfion of the quadrant of the ter- 
reftrial meridian has been laid down as the 
bafis of natural meafures, and not the 
Jength of the pendulum, which vibrates 
feconds ; and terminates with fhowing the 
gelation between natural units and thofe 
of lines, weights and meafures ufed in 
Spain.

author bas prefaced his remarks on the

difeourfe, ia which he confiders the fyi- . 
tem of Machiavel relatively to the political 
conjeclures of his time ; and has added two 
differtations, one in defence of the Chrif- 
tran Feligion, which Machiavel accufes of 
having rooted out all military valor among 
the nations by which it is profefied, and 
the other on the verfion of Ariftoteles, 
which St. Thomas made ufe of to com-.
