[Compleat tables of measuring]
Measuring compleated; by a new set of decimal tables accurately calculated. And explained in the most easy and familiar manner. Wherein is shewn by inspection the content of any superficial or solid whatever, to the ten thousandth part of a foot, yard, or rod: also tables shewing at one view the duodecimals equal to any given decimal parts. With a preface, demonstrating the great ease and usefulness of these tables beyond duodecimals, or any other. The whole made compleat to answer all the occasions of gentlemen and artificers, (as masons, bricklayers, carpenters, joiners, sawyers, glaziers, plaisterers, and pavers, &c.) in the most easy and exact method, far beyond any thing yet extant, the dimensions being taken to a quarter of an inch both in length and breadth, &c. By John Woodcock..
