Excerpt from Proceedings of the Connecticut Medical Society, 1880, Vol. 2: Eighty-Ninth Annual Convention This System commends itself to us on account of its simplicity, its accuracy, its uniformity, its safety, and its ultimate universality. It is the decimal system applied to all measures, doing away with all complicated tables and scales, and simplifying the whole, just as our money is simpler than pounds, shillings, and pence. This is already adopted by about thirty nations, and in eleven countries it is in exclu sive use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
