Rudimentary Treatise on Mensuration by T. Baker Pdf
Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on Mensuration: Arranged for the Use of Schools and Practical Men The weights and dimensions of balls and shells may be found by Prob. VIII., Part IV., in conjunction with the Table and (rules for finding the specific gravities of bodies, if required. The method of piling balls and shells, finding their number in a given pile, and the quantity of powder contained in a given shell or box, form no essential part of a work on mensuration, being only useful in an arsenal, and are, therefore, also omitted. The author has thus secured ample space for the discussion Of subjects really useful to the great majority of students and prae tical men, in the compass of a volume less than half the size and one-fifth of the price of the works of' his predecessors besides adding matter, adapted to the wants of modern times, not found in any existing work on mensuration.
