REDUCED TO ENGLISH AND AMERICAN MONEY, MEASURES, AND WEIGHTS. NOTE-With great ingenuity, the contrivers of the French system of weights and measures took from the Greek language the terms deca, hecto, kilo, and myria, to express increase, and from the Latin the corre ponding terms deci, centi, and milli, to express decrease. The names of all weights and measures are formed by a union of one of the principal terms (mètre, are, stère, litre, or gramme) with one of increase or decrease. Kilogramme, for example, is kilo (thousandfold) and gramme, and signifies 1000 grammes. Décimetre is deci (the tenth part) and metre, and signifies the tenth part of a metre. Décamètre is deca (tenfold) and mètre, and signifies ten metres, &c. EXPLANATORY NOTES; OR, TRANSLATION OF ALL THE REFERENCES THROUGHOUT THE WORK. INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE OF LITERATURE.
