Note 41 — Chapter XI

This, according to our Author's Estimation of the Pot-Measure at Berne, which is that he always means, and which he says contains exactly (of Water we suppose) fifty one Ounces and a Quarter (though without a material Error it may be computed at three Pounds and a Quarter) will amount at least to nine Pounds and three Quarters of Matter, supposing this no heavier than Water. By Measure it will want but little of five of our Quarts: a very extraordinary Discharge indeed of Pus at once, and not unlikely to be attended by the Event which soon followed. K.
