At Paris, and in a great part of the kingdom, the smallest measure is the po ou, which contains six cubic inches; 2 po ous make the dem i-septier; 2 dem i-septiers the chopine; 2 chopines a pint; 2 pints a quart or pot; 4 quarts the gallon, or septier of estimation; 36 septiers the muid; which is subdivided into 2 dem i-muids, 4 quarter muids, and 8 half quarter muids. The queue in Orleans, Blois, . contains a Paris muid and a half. The tun used at Bayonne and Bourdeaux, consists of 4 bariques, and equal to 3 Paris muids; at Orleans to 2: so that the first tun contains 864 pint, and the second 576. The dem i-queue in Champagne, 96 quarts; the pipe in Anjou and Poictou, 2 bu ards, equal to a dem i-queues of Orleans, . or a muid and a half of Paris. The millerolle used in Provence, contains 66 Paris pints; and the poincon at Nantz, in Touraine, and the Ble ois, equal to half the Orleans tun. The poincou at Paris is the same with the dem i-queue. French Weights and Measures. The toise is commonly used in France for military purposes, and is divided into 6 feet: each foot 12 inches; each inch 12 lines; each line 12 points. The pace is usually reckoned at 2¹⁄₂ feet.

The proportion of the new to the old degree is 0.9; and the next proportion or minute is 54′ of the old division; and the new second is 32″.4 of the ancient.

The Rhinland rood is the measure commonly used in Germany and Holland, and in most of the northern states, for all military purposes. It is divided into 12 feet. The Rhinland rood is sometimes divided into tenths, or decimal feet, and the pace is made equal to 2 decimal feet, or ²⁄₁₀ of a rood.

English liquid measures were originally raised from troy weight, it being ordained that pounds troy of wheat, gathered from the middle of the ear, and well dried, should weigh a gallon of wine measure; yet a new weight, viz. the avoirdupois weight, had been introduced, to which a second standard gallon was adjusted, exceeding the former in the proportion of the avoirdupois weight to the troy weight. From this latter standard were raised two measures, the one for ale, the other for beer. The sealed gallon at Guildhall, London, which is the English standard for wine, spirits, oil, . is supposed to contain 231 cubic inches; yet by actual experiment made in 1688, before the lord mayor and commi ioners of excise, it only contains 224 cubic inches. It was however agreed to continue the common supposed contents of 231: hence, as 12 : 231 ∷ 14¹²⁄₂₀ : 281¹⁄₂ the cubic inches in an ale gallon; but in effect, the ale quart contains 70¹⁄₂ cubic inches; on which principles the ale and beer gallon will be 282 cubic inches. Dry Measure , is different from both the ale and wine measure, being nearly a mean between both. According to a British act of parliament, pa ed in 1697, every round bushel with a plain and even bottom, being 18¹⁄₂ inches throughout, and eight inches deep, is to be accounted a legal Winchester bushel, according to the standard in the exchequer; consequently a corn gallon will contain 268.8 inches, as in the following table. | inches | | 2688 | | gallons | | 5376 | | 2 | | pecks | | 21504 | | 8 | | 4 | ¹⁄₂ | bushels | | 172032 | | 64 | | 32 | | 8 | | quarters | Winchester Measure. | 2 | Pints | make | 1 | Quart. | | 4 | Quarts | —— | 1 | Gallon. | | 9 | Gallons | —— | 1 | Firkin. | | 2 | Firkins, or 18 Gallon | —— | 1 | Kilderkin. | | 2 | Kilderkins, or 36 Gallons | —— | 1 | Barrel. | | 1 | Barrel and half, or 54 Gallons | —— | 1 | Hogshead. | | 2 | Hogsheads or 3 barrels, or 108 Gallons | —— | 1 | Butt. | | 2 | Butts, or 216 Gallons | —— | 1 | Tun. | Table Cloth Measure. | 2 | Inches and a Quarter | make | 1 | Nail. | | 4 | Nails | —— | ¹⁄₄ | of a Yard. | | 4 | Quarters | —— | 1 | Yard. | | ³⁄₄ | of a Yard | —— | 1 | Ell Flemish. | | 5 | Quarters, or 1 Yard 1 Quarter | —— | 1 | Ell English. | | 6 | Quarters | —— | 1 | French Ell. |
