THE VALUE OF GOLD AND SILVER.

GOLD.—An ounce of Standard Gold, of 22 Carats fine, (that is,
having 22 parts of pure Gold, and 2 parts of Alloy,) is worth £4—a
pennyweight 4d, and a grain 2d. A sovereign weighs about a quarter of
an ounce.

SILVER.—An ounce is worth 5s. and a pennyweight 3d. This is, about
one fifteenth part of the value of Gold. A crown piece weighs about
an ounce.

Mathematicians conceive every Circle to be divided into 360 equal
Parts, called Degrees, and each Degree into 60 equal parts, called
Seconds, and each Second subdivided into 60 smaller parts, called
thirds, and so on.

The Diameter of a Circle is a straight line drawn from one side to
the other through the centre; and is one-third of the circumference.

TABLES OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

TROY WEIGHT.

N.B. _The Imperial Standard Troy Pound_, established in 1758,
containing 5760 Grains, became, May 1, 1825, the ONLY _genuine
standard weight from which all other weights are to be derived,
computed, and ascertained_.

24 Grains make 1 Pennyweight
20 Pennyweights 1 Ounce
12 Ounces 1 Pound

The proportion that _Avoirdupois_ bears to _Troy_ Weight, from
which it is derived, is as 7000, the number of Troy grains in a
pound Avoirdupois, is to 5760, the grains in a pound Troy. The
Pound _Avoirdupois_ makes 14 oz. 11 dwt. and 16 grains _Troy_; and
9 pounds Avoirdupois are equal to nearly 11 pounds Troy.

⁂ By _Troy_ weight Jewels, Gold, Silver, &c. are weighed.

AVOIRDUPOIS WEIGHT.

N.B. This weight is derived from the _Imperial Standard Troy
Pound_, 7000 grains Troy making one pound _Avoirdupois_, and the
proportion it bears to _Troy_ Weight is as 7000 to 5760, the number
of grains in each pound respectively. The Pound Troy is equal to
13 oz. 2 drms. ⅔ Avoirdupois, and (nearly) 11 Pounds Troy are
equal to 9 Pounds Avoirdupois.

16 Drams make 1 Ounce
16 Ounces 1 Pound
28 Pounds ¼ of a Cwt.
4 Qrtrs. (112 lb.) 1 Cwt.
20 Hundreds 1 Ton

⁂ By this weight Bread, Butter, Cheese, Meat, Grocery, Drugs, and
all coarse goods that have _waste_, are bought and sold.

APOTHECARIES’ WEIGHT.

20 Grains make 1 Scruple
3 Scruples 1 Dram
8 Drams 1 Ounce

⁂ Apothecaries compound their medicines by this weight, but they
buy and sell by Avoirdupois Weight.

BREAD.

lbs. oz. dwts.
A Peck Loaf weighs 17 6 2
Half do. 8 11 1
Quartern do. 4 5 8
Half Quartern do. 2 2 12

Note.—By a late act, Bakers in London and within 10 miles thereof
are to sell bread by the _pound only_, and are obliged to keep
scales and weights in their shops, at all times, and to weigh every
loaf, in the presence of the customer, before they deliver it,
whether requested so to do or not, under severe penalties. In every
other part of the kingdom bread is sold by weight, according to the
above table.

By a former act, whatever is the price of the best wheat in
shillings, so many pence must be the price of the quartern loaf,
(with one penny more for baking.) And, when the best wheaten bread
is sold at 8d., the standard should be sold for 7d., and the
household for 6d.

THE NEW MEASURES OF CAPACITY.

WINE, SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS, ALE, BEER, and _all sorts of Liquids_, as
well as CORN, _and all kinds of Dry Goods_, are _now_ bought and
sold by _one_ measure _only_; of which the _basis_ is the GALLON,
containing _ten pounds_ Avoirdupois of distilled or rain water, and
called _the Imperial Standard Gallon_.

This new measure is _larger_ than the former WINE _Measure_ by
about _one-fifth_; therefore a gallon of Wine, or other article,
that is worth 5s. by the _old_ Wine Measure, is worth 6s. by _this_
measure; and so on at the rate of 2½d. _more_ in every shilling:
and the present _new_ gallon being _smaller_ than the former BEER
and ALE Gallon by _one-sixtieth_ part, the difference will be 1d.
upon 5s. _less_ than by the _old_ measure; that is one farthing
upon 15d. _less_, whatever may be the amount.

4 Gills make 1 Pint
2 Pints 1 Quart
4 Quarts 1 Gallon
9 Gallons 1 Firkin
10 Gallons 1 Anker
18 Gallons (2 Fir.) 1 Kilderkin
36 Gall. (2 Kild.) 1 Barrel
54 Gall. (3 Kild.) 1 Hogshead
42 Gallons 1 Tierce
63 Gallons 1 Hhd. of Wine
84 Gallons 1 Puncheon
108 Gal. (2 Hhds.) 1 Butt of Beer
126 Gal. (2 Hhds.) 1 Pipe of Wine
2 Pipes (4 Hhds.) 1 Tun

THE NEW MEASURE FOR CORN, and all other dry goods; (_except those
measured by heap_.)

2 Pints make 1 Quart
4 Quarts 1 Gallon
2 Gallons 1 Peck
8 Gal. (4 Pecks) 1 Bushel
2 Bushels 1 Strike
4 Bushels 1 Sack or Coomb
8 Bushel (2 Sacks) 1 Quarter
5 Quarters 1 Load or Way

N.B. _The Imperial Standard Gallon_, containing 10 _gallons of pure
water_, (the same as for liquids) is the _basis_ of this measure.

This is about a _thirty-second part_, or _one quart on a bushel_,
_larger_ than the former Winchester Measure; therefore a Bushel
of Oats, or _any_ quantity of _any_ thing, that is worth 2s. 8d.
Winchester Measure, is worth 2s. 9d. by _this_;—a Bushel of Barley,
Rye, or other thing, that would cost 5s. 4d. Winchester Measure,
will cost 5s. 6d. by the _new_;—and a Bushel of Wheat, Malt,
&c. worth 8s. by the Winchester Bushel is worth 8s. 3d. by the
_Imperial Bushel_;—and so on at the rate of one farthing upon every
8d. by the _new_ measure _more_ than by the _old_ measure.

THE NEW HEAPED MEASURE.

The Standard Measure of Capacity for COALS, COKE, CULM, LIME, FISH,
POTATOES, FRUIT, and _all other Goods_ commonly sold by _heaped_
measure, is _now the Imperial Standard Bushel_, containing 80
_pounds Avoirdupois_, of pure water,—made round, with a plain and
even bottom, and being 19½ inches from outside to outside, to be
heaped up in the form of a cone, at least 6 inches above the outer
edge thereof, which is to be the base of the said cone.

4 Pecks make 1 Bushel
3 Bushels 1 Sack
3 Sacks, 1 Vat or Strike
36 Bushels or 12 Sacks 1 Chaldron
21 Chaldrons A Score*

* Coals bought in large quantities have an allowance of one
Chaldron on 20; or half a Chaldron in 10; or 3 sacks in 5
Chaldrons; which is called the Ingrain.

LONG MEASURE.

N.B. The basis of _this_ and _of all other measures_ of _length_
or extension whatsoever, is the Standard Yard, established in
1760, which _remains unaltered_, and is _now_ called _the Imperial
Standard Yard_.

4 Inches 1 Hand
9 Inches 1 Span
12 Inches 1 Foot
18 Inches 1 Cubit
3 Feet _the Standard Yard_.
6 Feet or 2 Yards 1 Fathom
5½ Yards 1 Pole
40 Poles, or 220 Yards 1 Furlong
8 Furlongs or 1760 Yds. 1 Mile
3 Miles 1 League
20 Leagues, or 60 M. 1 Degree
69½ Miles 1 Geographical Deg.

360 Geographical Degrees, or about 25,000 miles, is the
circumference of the Earth.

In measuring length, if Gunter’s Chain be used,
20 Chains make a ¼ of a Mile
40 Ditto Half a Mile
and 80 Ditto One Mile

N.B. Long measure relates to length only.

LAND OR SQUARE MEASURE.

N.B. The _basis_ of _this_ and of _all other measures of
extension_, is the _Standard Yard_, established in 1760,—which
_remains unaltered_.

144 Square Inches, that is, 12 by 12, make 1 Square Foot
9 Square Feet 1 Yard
30¼ sq. Yards, or 272¼ sq. Feet 1 Pole
40 Sq. Poles, or Perches 1 Rood
4 Square Roods, or 160 sq. Rods. 1 Acre
30 Acres 1 Yardd. of Land
100 Acres 1 Hide of Do.
640 Sq. Acres 1 Sq. M. of Land
100 Sq. Feet 1 Sq. of flooring, &c.
272¼ Sq. Feet 1 Rod of brick work

⁂ Land is measured by Gunter’s Chain, which is divided into 100
links, each link 6 inches and 6-10ths long, and the whole Chain
being 4 Rods, or 22 Yards, or 66 Feet in length; so that 10 Chains
in length and 1 in breadth, or 4840 square Yards, make an Acre.

By this measure not only land, but all other superficies, such as
paving, flooring, plastering, roofing, tiling, &c. are measured.

CUBIC MEASURE.

1728 Cubic Inches, that is, 12 long,
12 broad, and 12 thick, make 1 Cubic Foot
27 Cubic Feet 1 Cubic Yard

N.B. This measure relates to length, breadth, and thickness, and
_remains unaltered_.

CLOTH MEASURE.

N.B. _The basis of this measure is the Imperial Standard Yard,
established in 1760;—and remains unaltered_.

2¼ Inches make 1 Nail
4 Nails, or 9 In. 1 Qr. of a Yd.
4 Quarters, or 16 Nails 1 Yard
5 Quarters 1 Ell English
3 Quarters 1 Ell Flemish
6 Quarters 1 Ell French

Days.
