Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the Evolution of Weights and Measures and the Metric System In the following pages it has been the aim of the authors to present in simple and non-technical language, so far as possible, a comprehensive view of the evolution of the science of metrology as it is now understood. Inasmuch as the introduction of the Metric System into the United States and Great Britain is a topic of more or less general interest at the present time, it has seemed that a work designed both for the student of science and for the general reader, in which this system is discussed in its relation to other systems of weights and measures past and present, would fill a certain need. While there are many works on metrology that treat at considerable length the historic and scientific sides of the subject, as well as the economic and archaeological questions involved, and a large number of books and pamphlets dealing with the teaching of the Metric System, besides those supplying tables and formulas for converting from one system to the other, yet there is apparently a distinct lack of works, which in small compass discuss the subject comprehensively from its many points of view. Indeed, the student of metrology is apt to be embarrassed by an extensive literature rather than by any deficiency in the amount of collected material, though much of the latter, to be sure, is included in various Eeports and Proceedings of learned societies and official documents rather than in single works.

It has also been adopted officially by Venezuela, Uru guay, Turkey, and British India, although in these four countries it can hardly yet be said to be in common use. Japan, too. Has announced her intention of adopting a modified form of it, and even China has a decimal system of weights and measures, although it is not the French Metric Sys tem. England, Russia, and the United States are the only great nations that still refuse to adopt the Metric System. Its advantages are many, and the only really serious objection appears to be, that the change from our present units to the new ones would be more or less confusing and annoying for the first few years. Much of this annoyance and confusion could be pre vented by providing school children with cheap sets of metric measures and weights, and requiring each child to measure and weigh a certain number of objects every week. In this way the units and their. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Metric System of Weights and Measures The following was prepared to answer some of the more simple questions addressed to the Bureau of Standards in regard to the metric system of weights and measures and its use. The essential features of the system were embodied in a report made to the French National Assembly by the Academy of Sciences in 1791. A number of other nations were invited to cooperate with France in establishing the new system, and Holland, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, and several minor States were represented on an international commission which. Met in Paris in 1799 to accept the metric standards constructed under the direction of the French Institute. Although the metric system very soon attracted the favorable attention of other nations, it was not until forty years later that its use became general in France. Since 1840, however, its use has rapidly spread until at the present time it is either obligatory or permissive in every civilized country in the world. Its use was made lawful throughout the United States by act of Congress in I866, and at the same time provision was made to supply every State in the Union with a set of metric weights and measures.

This committee consisted of Professor Charles Davies, LL.D., Chairman; Hon. Robert Hale, LL.D., and Professor James B. Thomson, LL.D. At the meeting of the National Association, held in Cleveland, Ohio, Aug, 1870, the Chairman presented the substance of the fol lowing report.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metric System: Explained and Adapted to the Systems of Instruction in the United States On the. 13th of May, 1863, a bill was prepared and brought in by members of that committee, by the terms of which the Metric System of weights and measures was introduced into Great Britain, and its use by the people made compulsory after three years. This bill was passed by the House of Com mons by a large majority, but does not appear to have been acted on by the House of Lords. At the next session (feb ruary, 1864) a bill was introduced by the same gentlemen which changed its purport from a compulsory to a permissive measure. This bill passed the House of Commons on the 29th of June, the House of Lords on the 21st of July, and became a law. The vote of the House of Commons approving a compel sory measure, and the subsequent enactment of a permissive law, must be regarded as evincing a deliberate intention to introduce the Metric System into England, and as giving up any purpose of creating a separate system founded upon the yard, the foot, or the inch and as paving the way for the ul timate exclusive adoption of the metric scheme.
