Reporting on the construction and distribution of standard weights and measures both domestically, with state-by-state accounts, and abroad, to foreign governments and institutions. The book also reviews the provision of balances for states by the Treasury Department under joint resolution of 1838. It discusses the gauges and hydrometers supplied to custom houses and the outreach efforts undertaken by the author. Throughout the book, the author makes observations on the history and practice of establishing uniform weights and measures. While some of the specific weights and measures discussed may be outdated, the book's examination of the process of standardizing weights and measures, along with its detailed accounting of the systems used in the mid-19th century United States, gives the book enduring value to historians and those interested in weights and measures.
