Inductive Metrology: Or The Recovery Of Ancient Measures From The Monuments is a book written by William Matthew Flinders Petrie and published in 1877. The book explores the methods used by ancient civilizations to measure length, weight, and capacity, and how these measures were recovered through the study of ancient monuments. Petrie examines the historical development of metrology, the science of measurement, and the importance of accurate measurement in ancient societies. He also discusses the challenges faced by modern scholars in interpreting ancient measuring systems and how they have been able to reconstruct these systems through careful analysis of archaeological finds. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and technology, and provides insights into the methods and techniques used by ancient civilizations to measure the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
