Book Overview

Observations On The Expediency And Practicability Of Simplifying And Improving The Measures, Weights And Money, Used In This Country (1834) is a book written by Charles William Pasley. The book is a detailed analysis of the measures, weights, and money used in England during the 19th century. Pasley argues that the current system is complicated, inconsistent, and difficult to use, and proposes a simplified system that would be easier for people to understand and use. The book covers a range of topics, including the history of measurement systems, the problems with the current system, and the benefits of simplification. Pasley also provides detailed proposals for new systems of measurement, including a decimal system for weights and measures and a new currency based on a decimal system. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by England during the 19th century as it sought to modernize its systems of measurement and currency.Without Materially Altering The Present Standards.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
