Excerpt from An Introduction to Mensuration and Practical Geometry: To Which Are Added, a Treatise on Guaging, and Also the Most Important Problems in Mechanics Dr. Hutton was the first person, in this country, who undertook to collect these scattered fragments, and to treat of the subject in a scientific, methodical manner.
