Of thefe meafures the Metre , Litre, and Gramme, are almoft the only integers that thechemical reader will ever meet with, and certainly their uniformity and exa£t ratio to eachother, and decimal progreffion, render the companion of them with our own meafures extremelyeafy.
The following are the correfpondences between thefe and Englifh meafures.
The Metre = 39-371 Englifh inches.
The fquare Metre 1550.075641 Englifh fquare inches.
The fquare Decimetre = 15.50075 Englifh fquare inches.
cubefie 1 ^_ cub. inch.
The Cubic Metre '= 61028.028 Englifh cubic inches = 35 : 548.028.
The Cubic Decimetre, the fame as the Litre. Englijh cubic inches.
The Litre, equal to the bulk of Kilogramme of water ~ 61.028
Troy grains.
The Gramme, or weight of a cubic Centimetre of water 2= 15.44402.

The decimal progreffion of all the French weights and meafures renders it only neceifary tochange the decimal point in order to convert one into the equivalent of any other, of the famefpecies and numerically the fame, but of a different denomination. Thus as 9 litres are equalto 15-5817 a l e pints, 9 hectolitres will be equal to 1558.17 ale pints ; and fo of the reft.
