Abstract

Numerous errors in pagination. Annotation on Thomason copy: "Apr: 3". Reproduction of the original in the British Library. The first, shewing how to measure all superficies and solids, as timber, stone, board, glasse, &c. geometrically, without the help of arithmetick, it being a new way not heretofore practised -- The second shewing how to measure board and timber instrumentally upon the scale it selfe, without arithmetick or geometry, but what is common to every man.
