In the mean time it may be advisable to take into consideration the present state of the numerous and complicated laws which have been enacted at various times for the regulation of the weights and measures employed in commerce; and the abstract of these laws, which we have prepared, will be found in the Appendix of this report. We must, however, reserve for a future occasion, the informa

tion which we have procured re-
specting the customary weights and
measures of the different counties,
as we have not yet been able to re-
duce our abstract into the most con-
venient form, for affording a con-
nected view of this branch of the
subject referred to us.
