About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885. Excerpt: ... fly a-pieces; for bad ones will not go down with the 18th. Up very early, and up upon my house to see how work goes on, which do please me very well. So about seven o'clock took horse and rode to Bowe, and there staid at the King's Head, and eat a breakfast of eggs till Mr. Deane 1 of Woolwich came, and he and I rid into Waltham Forest, and there we saw many trees of the King's a-hewing; and he showed me the whole mystery of off square,2 wherein the King is 1 Anthony Deane, afterwards knighted and M.

I will instance in one example: --"Let a piece of timber be 2 foot 24 parts broad, and 1 foot 30 parts deep, and 26 foot long: how many foot are contained therein? u First for the true way: --"1. As 1 is to 224 parts, the breadth, so is 130 parts, the depth, to 392 parts, the content at the end. "2. As 1 is to 292, so is 26, the length, to 5607, the content, which is 56 foot and about an inch. "Now for the customary false way: --The breadth of the piece is 2'24 And this 177 parts they take for the true square, which is egregiously false; for now come ...
