Excerpt from A New Decimal Metrical System: Founded on the Earth's Polar Diameter, and Designed for Adoption by All Civilized Nations, as the One Common System
But the writer has become fully convinced that neither his Linn-base System, nor the Metric System, will ever gain the distinction coveted. There are several of the lead ing political and commercial powers of the world, notably England, Russia. And the United States of America, whose consent, while it must be had, cannot be gotten. These powers will never accept either system as the common sys tem of nations. Is it asked, Why? We answer, that many considerations conspire, inducing the powers to this deter mination, and firmly holding them there. Some of these considerations are reasonable and of real force; others, not so; yet none the less efficient, invincible, and controlling. We cite but one - the really strong, reasonable, and, of itself.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a brand-new decimal system of weights, measures, and currency known as the Linn-base decimal system. The system's goal is to establish a uniform, universally accepted standard for global commerce. The author contends that the present French metric system is flawed and inadequate as an international standard and that the Linn-base system is superior, offering a solution to the numerous challenges currently faced. Proposing a new standard based on the Earth's polar diameter, this book explores the advantages and disadvantages of the Linn-base system in comparison to other existing systems. The author delves into the complexities of metrological uniformity, providing a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities presented by the adoption of a new global standard. Thoughtfully addressing the specific criticisms and objections raised against the widely used metric system, this book presents a compelling argument for the superiority of the Linn-base system. It is an invaluable resource for policymakers, economists, and anyone interested in the history, theory, and practice of metrology. The book's detailed examination of the Linn-base system's compatibility with existing systems and its potential to revolutionize global trade makes it an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this important topic.
