What reading level is Historical Essays in Connexion With the Land, the Church, &c. book?

i. p. 5, 309. Compare Kuding and Hawkins.
^ This is further shown from the fact that a cwt. of 112 lbs. avdp. = 14-1 lis. Tower, or a great hundred — a gross of lbs.— Ly the old London standard. The standard of weight in tlie 68 NOTES.
English chaldron contains 32 bushels, the Scottish measure evidently represents the old Northumbrian standard. Northward of the Forth the boll was considerably heavier than the standard of southern Scotland, owing, perhaps, to the influence of Caithness weight, w...hich was probably akin to the Scandinavian silver weight, or Veitszlo pound of 16 oz. As the earliest known pound-weight in Scotland seems to have been the Caithness standard, the Scots, like the Irish and Norsemen of early days, may have ignored the pound-weight, and used some equivalent of the Irish tinde, or the " hundred ores " — the cwt. of ounces — before they adopted the standard with which the Norsemen replaced their original lighter weight. Tron weight simply represented the public standard for weighing heavier goods.
