  <dc:title>Unpublished paper and letter, 'Essai sur le calcul duodécimal ou la Zouacise' ['Essay on duodecimal calculation or Zouacise'] by A Gautier</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Gautier seeks to prove that a 12-based system of counting and calculation, also referred to by Gautier as Zouacise [a combination of the French word for 'twelve' and the Greek word for 'times'], is superior to a system based on 10. Includes one set of illustrations in the text. Preceded by a covering letter from Gautier to the Royal Society.
