In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

1828 Definition
STEELYARD, n. [steel and yard.] The Roman balance; an instrument for weighing bodies, consisting of a rod or bar marked with notches, designating the number of pounds and ounces, and a weight which is movable along this bar, and which is made to balance the weight of the body by being removed at a proper distance from the fulcrum. The principle of the steelyard is that of the lever; where an equilibrium is produced, when the products of the weights on opposite sides into their respective distances from the fulcrum, are equal to one another. Hence a less weight is made to indicate a greater, by being removed to a greater distance from the fulcrum.
1913 Definition
A form of balance in which the body to be
weighed is suspended from the shorter arm of a lever, which turns on a
fulcrum, and a counterpoise is caused to slide upon the longer arm to
produce equilibrium, its place upon this arm (which is notched or
graduated) indicating the weight; a Roman balance; -- very commonly
used also in the plural form, steelyards.
