Excerpt from Improvement to Palmer's Endless Self-Computing Scale and Key: Adapting It to the Different Professions, With Examples and Illustrations for Each Profession; And Also to Colleges, Academies and Schools, With an Time Telegraph, Making, by Uniting the Two, a Computing Telegraph

AT the suggestion of several intelligent friends who have become acquainted with my Compu ting Scale, I have been induced to present this simple volume to the public. The general princi ple on which my Scales are constructed, is now acknowledged by all scientific men, as the only one adequate to perform computations mechani cally. The rapidity, certainty, and accuracy of their' results are now established beyond the pos. Sibility of a doubt. The present volume can be afforded at a price which will place it Within the reach of all. Those who wish to carry out their Computations to a greater number of decimals, can have their wishes gratified in the purchase of Palmer's Computing Scale, which is nearly one foot square. All the errors which have been dis. Covered in the former editions, have been corrected in this and the present work may be regarded as nearly perfect. I only ask a candid examination Of the work, and hope it may be as useful to the public, as l have, by lo'ng and arduous labor.
