INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE

POPULATION OF CITIES AND COUNTRIES, LENGTHS OF RIVERS,

HEIGHTS OF MOUNTAINS, CATARACTS, TOWERS, &c.,

AND

SPECIFIC GRAVITIES.

As it is inconvenient to construct formulas that represent a large number of ciphers, as in the population of places, lengths of rivers, etc., and, at the same time, of no utility in learning them, we have the phrases stand for the even number of hundreds, thousands, or millions, as the case may be, and from the nature of the subjects we can give the correct answer. For the subjects that follow, from page 194 to 200, we have these rules:

1. In the formulas for the population of countries, the phrases represent the number of millions; and for the population of cities, they stand for thousands.

2. The lengths of the rivers are given in hundreds of miles, and the heights of mountains in hundreds of feet; but the heights of water-falls, towers, spires, and monuments, are given in the exact number of feet.

3. In the formulas for specific gravities, the last three articulations stand for the decimals, and all the articulations that precede the last three (if any), are the whole numbers, and show how many times heavier than water or air, the substance is.

4. The formulas for the population by Continents and Religions, on page 212, stand for the even number of millions.
