Method to discover the difference of the earth's diameters : proving it's true ratio to be less variable than as 45 is to 46, and shortest in it's pole's axis 174 miles ... Elucidated with five copper plates, with a variety of new tables ... Likewise a method for fixing an universal standard for weights and measures. By Thomas Williams.
