A TABLE FOR SHEWING ALL THE DIFFERENT MEASURES, BY WHICH QUANTITIES OF LAND ARE CALCULATED. Explanation of the Table. Y referring to the table, all the different measures, by which quantities of land are calculated may be seen; and py how often. one is contained in another, either in long or square measure; and this by the plainest, easiest, and most intelligible method.*

Having found the two titles, the eye is to be directed in a straight line till the two lines meet in one centre: in oné way it discovers the number ar the less measure in the greater, in long measure; in the other way, in square measure: thus for example: Ina mile long, there are 1760 ye wide. In a mile square, there are 3,097,600 square ye ards.

Nothing can be more simple“than this method, as must be very apparent from the slightest attention to the plate; and it cannot fail being very useful in the admeasurement of land, as it will serve by way of artificial memory, and

greatly abridge the calculations.
