Ten feet and a half being a Rod and 40 Rods that is 660 feet in length and four such Roods that is 66 feet in breadth makes an Acre of Land it follows then by Multiplying 660 by 60 that every Acre contains 4356 square feet Now it is presumed that good Land may be had for 20 s. an Acre Rent or 20 l. for an Acre Purchase that is 4200 d. Now if you divide 4356 by 4800 the Quotient is 9 and the 360 remaining which shews that every penny does purchase 9 square feet that is a yard every way and something better Exact Rules with Tables and Examples for measuring Stone Glass Pavement Timber Building and all other things by a generous Improvement highly necessary to be known IN Mensuration sometimes it is done with a Rule sometimes with a Chain and sometimes with a Line the Foot Rule is 12 Inches and every of these divided into 12 parts and every part into 12 other parts and so to the most minutest degree But in the easiest and quickest way of Measuring it must be observed to multiply the sum given by the Integers of the Multiplyer always beginning from the least denomination and carrying one for every twelve to the next Then for the parts Multiply the inches into feet which divide by 12 quotes inches and parts then multiply inches into parts which divide by 12 quotes parts into parts parts into feet and divide by 12 quotes inches and parts Parts into inches and divide by 12 quotes first parts and second parts Parts into parts and divide by 12 quotes second and third parts and so proceed alwayes observing that if the Quotient be more than 12 then divide it again by 12 and the Quotient will be a denomination higher But for your better Instruction make use of the following Table and observing to set one denomination under another the sum is the product A Table for Multiplying Foot measure 1 12 12 2 24 3 26 4 48 5 60 6 72 7 84 8 96 9 108 10 120 11 132 12 144 13 156 14 168 15 180 16 192 17 204 18 216 19 228 20 240 21 252 22 264 23 276 24 288 25 300 26 312 27 324 28 336 29 348 30 360 31 372 32 384 33 396 34 408 35 420 36 432 37 444 38 456 39 468 40 480 41 492 42 504 43 516 44 528 45 540 46 552 47 564 48 576 49 588 50 600 60 720 70 840 80 960 90 1080 100 1200 And to do this it will be convenient for better Instruction to lay down further Rules or Examples by way of explanation and therefore observe with wariness what follows The Example   Feet Inch. Parts   Feet Inch. Parts Multiply 8 9 6 by 7 8 5 Observe in this that 7 times 6 is 42 as in the Table and the nearest number on the Left-hand is 36 the difference 6 is writ down and 3 carried which stands against 36 to the next denomination 7 times 9 is 63 and 3 carried is 66 The nearest number in the Table is 60 the difference 6 writ down and 5 carried to the next denomination 7 times 8 is 56 and 7 carried is 61 which write under Feet then proceed and multiply by the 8 Inches and say 8 times 8 is 64 and against its nearest number 60 you find 5 and the remainder is 4 viz. 5 Feet 4 Inches against 8 times 9 is 72 against which in the Table I find 6 taken for 6 Inches and 8 times 6 is 48 against which stands 4 which is 4 first Parts Then
