to estimate his skill in hydrostatistics or astronomy; ....

the branch of science that treats of the pressure and equilibrium of fluids
{n} the science of weighing fluids
study of the mechanical properties of fluids that are not in motion
{i} study of liquids at rest (Physics)
Branch of physics that deals with the characteristics of fluids at rest, particularly with the pressure in a fluid or exerted by a fluid (gas or liquid) on an immersed body. In applications, the principles of hydrostatics are used for problems relating to pressure in deep water (pressure increases with depth) and high in the atmosphere (pressure lessens with altitude)
The branch of science which relates to the pressure and equilibrium of nonelastic fluids, as water, mercury, etc
the principles of statics applied to water and other liquids
