Example.

A Wall 7 Bricks and half thick and 2 Pole long, is 10 Pole of Wall redu∣ced to a Brick and a half thick, the number answering against 7 Bricks and ½, is 15, then by the Rule of Three, with your Pen or Line and Compasses, work it thus: As 3 is to 15, so is 2 (the Length of the Wall in Roods or Poles) to 10; so that a Wall 7 Brick and a half thick, and 2 Pole long, is equal to 10 Pole of a Wall that is but one Brick and half thick.

But if you measure the Wall by a 10 foot Rod divided into 10 or 100 equal parts, you may soon find the superficial Content in feet, by multiplying the Length by the Breadth, and so turn them into square Poles by the Table following.
