11   I,  1|         power is derived from the weight of the atmosphere, which
12   I,  1|           to be wondered that the weight of the air was not realised
13   I,  1|  Torricelli later on compared the weight of the air with a column
14   I,  1|          these half-globes with a weight equal to 53 skeppund 15
15   I,  2|         in every way equal to the weight of a column or pillar of
16   I,  2|    lispund 1 5 skålpund victualie weight, which therefore constitutes
17   I,  3|          place with regard to the weight and pressure of the air:
18   I,  3|       force which is equal to the weight of the whole atmosphere (
19   I,  3|           the air is equal to the weight of the air):paragrafo.press
20   I,  3|        parts of the vessel with a weight equal to the weight of the

24   I,  4|           a matter of course, the weight of 40 skeppund will quickly
25   I,  4|       will quickly pull the other weight of 20 skeppund up in the

29   I,  6|           is being pressed by the weight of the other dice.~ ~Now,
30   I,  6|     weighs 21575 skålpund, so the weight of the atmosphere is pressing
31   I,  6|      stroke of the machine with a weight of 53 skeppund, 18 lispund,
32   I,  8|           of the earth, the whole weight of the atmosphere.~ ~
33   I, 11|           force, thus causing the weight of the atmosphere to bear
34   I, 11|           with a force equal to a weight of 53 skeppund, 18 lispund,
35   I, 11|           15 skålpund, whilst the weight of the water-columns in
36  II, 18|           furthermore adds to the weight of the water which the machine
