This article appears in Volume V14, Page 651 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INSTRUMENT (Lat. instrumentum, from insincere, to build up, furnish, arrange, prepare) , that which can be used as a means to an end, hence a mechanical contrivance, implement or
tool
 ; the word is more particularly applied to the implements of applied science, in
mathematics
 , surgery, surveying, &c., while those of the handicrafts are generally known as " tools. A specific use of the
term
  is for the various contrivances used to produce musical sounds, " musical
instruments
 ."
In law an "
instrument
  " is any formal or written document by which expression is given to a legal act or. agreement. This is a classical use of the Lat. instrumentum, a document,
record
 . The
term
  may be used in a wide sense, as a mere writing, meant only to form a
record
 , or in a particular sense with reference to certain statutes. For example, the Stamp Act 1891 defines an
instrument
  as an expression including every written document; for the purposes of the Forgery Act 1861 a post-
office
  telegram accepting a wager has been defined as an instrument. In expressions such as " deed, will, or other written instrument " the word means any written document under which a right or liability, legal or equitable, exists.
