—— ”The weights are according to the Parliamentary
standard of Great Britain. mn Philos. Trans. second
part for 1821 is a statement by Kapt. Kater of a re-
measurement of the Cube, Cylinder and Sphere, made
by Sir George Shuckburgh, with the weights, given by
the latter Gentleman; Kapt, Kater finds, that in å
vacuum at 629 of Farenheit a cubik inch of distilled
water is == 252,722 of such grains as I send you.
The original statement of Sir George, Philos, Tran,
Jor 1798 contains several errors; the most important
was an error in the cubik contents of the cylinder.
These were corrected at first by myself, and after-
wards by Mr, Fletcher, and published in Nicholsons
Journal Vol, 4 (of the octave Form) 1803. Mr. Flet-
cher brings out 252,806 grains of the Parliamentary
standard for a cubic inch of distilled water at 609
(not 629) of Farenheit and in vacuo. Qur Govern-
ment act upon Kapt. Katers result, but I think, that
it- ill deserves the preference, because Sir George
measured the 3 bodies by å more direct method, than
Kapt. Kater did.” =*
