Yet this variety, as well as the proportions of fome of thofe cubits to one another, may be partly accounted for from the oriental eufiom of a Royal Gahit, exceeding the mean cubit by three and from the commercial or nundinary meafures being, for the mol't part, lefs than the mean, not only in the Euh, but every where elfe. The former probably had its name from being the meafure, which defpotic Princes exaéted in the confiruétion of their buildings and public works; while a cubit {ome what fhort of the mean was allowed of in private bargains, and when ikilful artif'ts were to be paid for their labour.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed description of the Earth as understood by the best geographers of the 18th century. The author utilized not only the most up to date printed materials, but also a vast network of personal and professional correspondents to collect data on the various countries he discusses. The book is divided into four volumes, with the first volume focusing on the Northern European countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Prussia, Poland, Lithuania, Courland, and Semigalia. Rather than simply rehashing the works of his predecessors, the author visited many of these places himself, lending a fresh perspective to the work. The book discusses the political systems of each region, important cities and towns, industries, and natural resources. In short, readers will find this book is not merely a dry recitation of geographical facts, but a rich and nuanced portrait of Europe's northern tier in the 18th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
