Project of a New System of Arithmetic: Weight, Measure and Coins, Proposed to Be Called the Tonal System, With Sixteen to the Base (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Project of a New System of Arithmetic: Weight, Measure and Coins, Proposed to Be Called the Tonal System, With Sixteen to the Base
The introduction of the decimal system of weight, measure, and coins, is steadily progressing in most parts of the world, but when or wherever it is first proposed, it meets with many natural and reasonable objections. The inconvenience of the decimal arithmetic is well known, and better bases for the same have been frequently proposed, but there has not, that I am aware of, been made any earnest attempt, by proper authority, to introduce a system that would in all its bearings constitute the greatest possible simplicity and efficacy, nor to remove the principal objections to the decimal arithmetic. Questions may arise, first, what are the difficulties and objections? And secondly, how can they be removed and overcome!
