this general observation is made immediately upon
the occasion of your wanting to measure any
thing if this proposition be you
immediately go about to divide them into
aliquots, and to produce coincidence contact
to discover coincidence.
Let us now reduce shew how the operation which
performed for the purpose of discovering the relative
weights of bodies depends on, low Number
of aliquots & Coincidence. One man
agrees with another to buy a quantity of Gold dust
of him, and to pay him at the rate of
so much a grain, agrain is either agreed
between them or taken established for granted by certain
to be the minutest part by shall take
any account of. A pair of Scales
in the instrument by which they again
the weight of the Gold dust is to be
dist measured by a grain the aliquot
part. The Gold dust is put into one
scale and such number of grains into the scale
other as shall being cause the India
of the scale to coincide with a perpendicular
or the beam with an imaginary horizontal
line. Equality in weight is what is required
Coincidence is the test when the number of
aliquots in one scale equal then in the other
