First edition.
Book promoting the use of the metric system in Switzerland. If Switzerland received in 1801 a copy of the standard meter deposited in Paris, the metric system took several decades to be adopted in all the cantons of the confederation.

"Besides the description that my book gives of the new and old measures of Paris, it can also be considered as a complete treatise of three kinds of measures; namely, those of Neuchâtel, Bern and Lausanne: these neighboring countries will doubtless also adopt under little this system, which has simplicity as its basis" (excerpt from the preface)
