Vol′ume

Now, one book of a series or of a collection; as, “a work in three volumes” ; “a library containing 2,000 volumes.”

Voltameter.

Formerly, volumen, a scroll of bark, papyrus, waxed linen, skin, parchment, silk, and, lastly, paper, wound around a stick known as an umbilicus, the extremities of which were called the cornua, and were tipped in same cases with silver, gold, ivory, or even gems. The author's name was written on a label and tied to the cornua. The whole was placed in an envelope. They were tinged with oil of cedar-wood, to preserve them from insects.

The specifications of patents at Rolls Court, London, are on very long strips of paper, examined and read by unrolling.
