DECIMALS RUN RIOT.

From A Budget of Paradoxes, Volume II by Augustus De Morgan.

The Decimal System as a whole. By Dover Statter.[167] London and Liverpool, 1856, 8vo.

{81}

The proposition is to make everything decimal. The day, now 24 hours, is to be made 10 hours. The year is to have ten months, Unusber, Duober, etc. Fortunately there are ten commandments, so there will be neither addition to, nor deduction from, the moral law. But the twelve apostles! Even rejecting Judas, there is a whole apostle of difficulty. These points the author does not touch.
