Long ton, also known as the imperial ton or displacement ton is the name for the unit called the ton in the avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements standardised in the thirteenth century that is used in the United Kingdom and several other British Commonwealth of Nations countries alongside the mass-based metric ton invented in 1799.
The author of The House Of Seven Gables is Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The system is, of course, the Hogwarts Houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. They were created by J. K. Rowling in 1997, when they were originally published as âfictionâ in the Harry Potter series. The Houses have since been reclaimed as a social tool.
