Paterson The foundation of the most usual Metts and Measures in this Kingdom 1. Metts and Measures are either general to all Kingdoms Common-wealths or Re-publiques or peculiar to one 2. General Measures most used are the Line of Chords and equal parts following 3. These Lines are used for measuring of Geometrical Figures on Paper as this following 4. The Line of Chords F H is used only for measuring of â—â—gles upon the Arch of a Circle described upon the Anguâ—â— point as a Center at the distance of 60 degrees from the â—â—e Line of Chords as the Angle at A in this last Figure measured on the Arch B C and is equal to 56 degrees the Line of Chords â— The Line of equal parts A I although they be in themâ—â—â—ves exact half inches yet they may serve to demonstrate Paper any other measure in length breadth or thickâ—â—â—â—e as whole inches foots ells falls roods miles or leagues 3 whereof being equal to 60 degrees on the Line Chords 6. Measures particular to this Nation although many of them agree to other Nations also the most common here used are these following being all founded upon Barley and Wheat Corns 7. The Measures for length breadth and thickness are first Barley Corns whereof 3 in length make an inch but because all Barley Corns are not of equal length you may take two of the equal parts from the fore-going Line A I which will bâ— an exact inch alwayes 12 inches makes a foot but 8 inch makes a Glazen-wrights foot 6 common foot is a fathom 37 inches makes the standard ell of Edinburgh 6 ells makeâ— a fall 320 fall makes a Scottish mile containing 1184 pace of 5 foot to the pace The Scots and English league contains 3000 paces being 3 Italian or Sea miles 40 falls 〈◊〉 length and one in breadth makes a rood 4 roods makes aâ— acre of land But a rood of work wrought by Masons 〈◊〉 Sclaters 36 â—lls in length and one in breadth 8. The measures for weighing any thing are first Wheatâ— take a Corn out of the midst of an Ear of Wheat is the foundation of a grain weight 36 grains makes a drop 16 drop makes an ounee 16 ounces makes a pound 16 pound make a stone weight of Lanerk Apothecaries use scruples weighing 24 grains whereof 3 make a dram being half an ounce 9.

Dry measures are first the standard Furlet of Linlitgow contains 21 pints and a mutchkin each furlet contaiâ— 4 pecks by which are measured Wheat Rye Beans Peaâ— and Salt The furlet for metting Beer Malt and Oaâ— contians 31 pints 4 furlets make a boll 16 bolls a chaldeâ— a peck of Wheat weighs 14 pound 3 ounces which 〈◊〉 168300 grains Tide Table for Leith Corrected by James Paterson Mathematician A Table shewing the hour and min. of high Water at Leith for every day of the Moons age increasing or decreasing Moons age Full Sea at Leith increas decreas hours min. 1 16 3 3 2 17 3 46 3 18 4 29 4 19 5 7 5 20 5 45 6 21 6 19 7 22 6 51 8 23 7 39 9 24 8 42 10 25 9 45 11 26 10 43 12 27 11 41 13 28 0 34 14 29 1 27 15 30 2 15 The use Seek the Moons age in the first and second Column of the Table and in the two last Columns you have the true time of full Sea at Leith Example To find the full Sea the 10 of May 1683.
