- Introduction_to_the_metric_system abstract "The first recorded proposal for what is now known as the metric system was by John Wilkins, a Fellow of the Royal Society, in 1668. The metric system was further developed during the French Revolution to replace the various measures previously used in France. The metre (also spelled "meter" in some dialects of English) is the unit of length in the metric system and was originally based on the dimensions of the earth, as far as it could be measured at the time. The litre (also spelled "liter"), is the unit of volume and was defined as one thousandth of a cubic metre. The metric unit of mass is the kilogram and it was defined as the mass of one litre of water. The metric system was, in the words of French philosopher Marquis de Condorcet, "for all people for all time".The metric system has names to cover different ranges of the same measure. Instead of using names based on the context of the measure, the metric system mainly uses names made by adding prefixes, such as kilo- or milli-, as decimal multipliers to the base unit names. Thus, one kilogram is 1000 grams and one kilometre is 1000 metres.During the nineteenth century the metric system was adopted by both the world-wide scientific community and many countries as the system of measurement. It therefore became truly international. Until 1875 the French government owned the prototype metre and kilogram, but in that year the Convention of the metre was signed and control of the standards relating to mass and length passed on to a trio of inter-government organisations.In 1960 the metric system was extensively revised to form the International System of Units, abbreviated to SI.".
