PRACTICAL MEASURING MADE EASY To the Meanest Capacity by a New Set of Tables. The Fourteenth Edition.

1803pp. lxxvi, 204. The folding plate is partially present. Tall pocket handbook. 210 x 9 mm. Original full leather binding, rubbed. EARLY MANUSCRIPT OWNERSHIPS: "William Haskell, Jun. Lynn (MA), July 1806, his Book"; "Henry A. Breed(?) & Co. August 8, 1826; and a printed ownership plate for C.J.H. Woodbury, a Lynn, MA. Woodbury (1851-1915) was a Lynn industrialist and historian. Quick transcription of the full title: PRACTICAL MEASURING MADE EASY TO THE MEANEST CAPACITY BY A NEW SET OF TABLES: Which shew at sight, The solid or superficial content (and consequently the value) of any piece or quantity of squared orround timber, be it standing or felled, also of stone, board, glass, &c. made use of in the erecting or repairing of any building, &c. Cintrived to answer all the occations of gentlemen and artificers, far beyond any thing yet extant: the contents being given in feet, inches and twelfth parts of an inch. With apreface, shewing the excellence of this new method of measuring, and demonstrating, that whoever ventures to rely upon those obsolete tables and directions published by Isaac Keay, is liable to be deceived (in common cases) 10s. in the pound [.] Greatly improved by the following additions, I. new tables shewing at sight the value of any piece or quantity of timber, stone, &c. at any price per foot cube. II. Mr. Hoppus's table of solid measure applied to the freighting of ships. III. Some very curious observations concerning the measuring of timber by several dimensions, communicated by one of his Majesty's Purveyors. Note too that this 1803 edition includes an advertisement for a new edition of the 'Plate Glass Book.' First published in 1736, Mr. Hoppus's Measurer was the standard handbook for the English (and American) lumber trades. Consulted regularly by foresters, builders and carpenters. Includes: examples of practical measuring; measurement tables for timber; guides to weights and prices for nails, hardware and various tools; etc. Indeed, the hoppus cubic foot (or `hoppus cube' or `h cu ft') was the standard volume measurement used for timber in the British Empire and countries in the British sphere of influence before the introduction of metric units. It is still used in the hardwood trade of some countries. His method of volume measurement was developed to estimate what volume of a round log would be usable timber after processing, in effect attempting to `square' the log and allow for waste. The hoppus ton (HT) was also a traditionally used unit of volume in British forestry. One hoppus ton is equal to 50 hoppus feet or 1.8027 cubic metres. Some shipments of tropical hardwoods, especially shipments of teak from Myanmar (Burma), are still stated in hoppus tons. A great artifact from a mighty trade in a once mighty empire. with early American ownerships. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! NEW ENGLAND Box 6
