[12] The litre, or the unit of French measures of capacity, is therefore equivalent to 61 English cubic inches.

The following examples will shew in what manner the proportion between the measures of any two given countries may be ascertained.

Examples.

It is required to reduce 100 alquiers of Lisbon into fanegas of Cadiz.

The alquier containing 824 cubic inches, and the fanega 3311, according to the table prefixed, I state the following equation:

			100	alquiers = x
1	alquier	=	824	cubic inches
3311	cubic inches	=	1	fanega
Result 24,89 fanegas.

Reduce 100 fanegas of Cadiz into alquiers of Lisbon.

			100	fanegas = x
1	fanega	=	3311	cubic inches
824	cubic inches	=	1	alquier
Result 401,82 alquiers.

Table, which shews the quantity of English cubic inches contained by each of the measures used in the sale of liquids, and the relation of foreign measures to 100 English gallons wine measure.
