A sermon.
Compares values obtained by various observers in measuring new standards of weight and length.
Thanks JH for his useful letter [see JH's 1867-12-2]; it will be of value to the Commission on Weights and Measures.
Having helped to create confusion surrounding the pound weight [see GA's 1867-12-3], JH now understands it simply and clearly; JH wonders if he is 'growing elderly.'
