  • Rowland, Thomas, of New-Windsor. Compleat tables for measuring round and square timber. In two parts. Part I. Containing the description of the tables of solids and superficies; and also the method of measuring round timber, whether regular or irregular, according to a more true and accurate method than has been used; shewing the difference of each piece of timber between the true and common way of measuring; whereby the errors of the books and tables relating to the measuring round timber, is seen at once. Also the arguments for and against the common way of measuring: in which is shewn the fallacy of any medium by false quantities, menion'd by the editor of Keay's practical measurer, and others; and that the only way to obtain a true medium, is to settle the price of timber according to the exact quantity; which is not to be found in any tables extant heretofore. Part II. Containing a definitive method of measuring timber that is growing or standing in the woods, &c. By the same tables: also the method of measuring timbe. London : Printed for C.
