A Brief History of Measurement Systems
"Weights and measures may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every
individual of human society. They enter into the economical arrangements and daily
concerns of every family. They are necessary to every occupation of human industry;
to the distribution and security of every species of property; to every transaction of
trade and commerce; to the labors of the husbandman; to the ingenuity of the
artificer; to the studies of the philosopher; to the researches of the antiquarian; to the
navigation of the mariner, and the marches of the soldier; to all the exchanges of
peace, and all the operations of war. The knowledge of them, as in established use, is
among the first elements of education, and is often learned by those who learn
nothing else, not even to read and write. This knowledge is riveted in the memory by
the habitual application of it to the employments of men throughout life."
