    PREFACE In putting this manual of “ Early Weights and Measures of Mankind ” before the public, I most gratefully acknowledge the obligation I am under to Professor Flinders Petrie for his publi- cation of that remarkable book,“ Inductive Metrology,” contain- ing records of all the building cubits of the world. 1 have had occasion constantly to refer to this work, and it is in a great measure owing to this storehouse of accurate informa- tion, brought together by Professor Petrie, that I have been enabled to bring my work to a successful conclusion. CHARLES WARREN. The Oaks, Westbere, Canterbury, August 1, 1913. vn
