The disadvantage Of the decimal scale is
that the number ten can only be once
divided without leaving a fraction. A duo.
decimal scale Of numeration would have
been much better, and, In fact, is much
more in accordance with our present sys-
tenn Of weight, measure and coinage. Had
the Chaldeans or Arabs, who instituted
the decimal scale OF numbers from their
ten digits, only taken IL from the giants
amoug them who Like the giant OF Gath,
had twelve digits AS well as toes, the result
wsuld have been much more satisfactory
to all calculating individuals among sue
| ceed!ng generations as well AS those Of oui
civil service. Temple Bar
