Project of a New System of Arithmetic, Weight, Measure, and Coins: Proposed to Be Called the Tonal System, with Sixteen to the Base (1862)

""Project Of A New System Of Arithmetic, Weight, Measure, And Coins: Proposed To Be Called The Tonal System, With Sixteen To The Base"" is a book written by John William Nystrom in 1862. The book proposes a new system of arithmetic, weight, measure, and coins that would be called the Tonal System. This system is based on the number sixteen, instead of the traditional base ten system. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explains a different aspect of the Tonal System. The first section provides an overview of the system and its advantages over the existing system. The second section explains the new system of arithmetic, which is based on the number sixteen and uses a new set of symbols to represent numbers. The third section describes the new system of weight and measure, which is also based on the number sixteen. This system is designed to be more intuitive and easier to use than the existing system, which is based on a mix of different units of measurement. The fourth section of the book proposes a new system of coins that would be used in conjunction with the Tonal System. These coins would be based on the same principles as the weight and measure system, with each coin representing a certain weight and value. Overall, ""Project Of A New System Of Arithmetic, Weight, Measure, And Coins: Proposed To Be Called The Tonal System, With Sixteen To The Base"" is a groundbreaking book that proposes a new way of thinking about arithmetic, weight, measure, and coins. While the Tonal System was never widely adopted, the book remains an important historical document that sheds light on the evolution of mathematical and economic systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
