The Early Weights and Measures of Mankind is a historical book written by Charles Warren and first published in 1913. The book is a comprehensive study of the evolution of weights and measures used by humans from ancient times to the early modern period. The author examines the various systems used in different parts of the world, including Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, India, and Europe. The book provides a detailed account of the origins of these systems, the methods used to measure different quantities, and the impact of these systems on trade, commerce, and daily life. The author also discusses the challenges faced in standardizing weights and measures, and the role played by governments and international organizations in promoting uniformity. Overall, the book is a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history of science and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
