AN IMPoRTANT SUGGESTION.

We are indebted to the author P A. Browne Esq., for
interesting and learned pamphlet enforcing proposal 10
ablsh and maintain uniform system Of weights

lie contends that many of the numerous nconveniences
and LOSSES arising of the uncertain Of trade and
ercousc might easy be remeded by adopting and preser
yng throughout the civilized and commercial world uni
form system Of weights measures and coins To that end
he makes the following recommendation
Sizes are determined in three ways: lst by LENGTH
that Is 10 say dimension ony 3D. by surface which
is length multiplied by breadthhaving two dimensions :
and 3d. sody and capacity which has LENGTH BREADTH and
height dephand which consequently has three dimensions

Kubas solid body consisting Of 6equal sides dependent
uts upon the first and second and inasmuch
from solidy arises eghand II is BY 1ceght that the
value of a coins OF equal purity, must be deermned-it
follows that in order form and sustain uniform system
Of weights, measures and coins what is wanting is TO fix
upon accurate sandard Of linear measurement.
What PROPOSE then is that the government Of every
nation represented the Worlds Fair shall be requested
appoint competent agent all of whom to meet at some
convenient time and central place. then and there discuss
and adjust this important preliminary fair and honora
Bile trade and social intercourse between their citizens and
subjects.
Let this grand committee after mature deiberaton fix
upon one certain standard measure Of length be erea

OF length be the criterion OF the extent of all
cities and subect to variations in metallic purify and the
fluctuations Of exchauge the index of the vue of all coins
