The Slide Rule and How to Use It: Containing Full, Easy, and Simple Instructions to Perform All Business Calculations with Unexampled Rapidity and Accuracy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Slide Rule and How to Use It: Containing Full, Easy, and Simple Instructions to Perform All Business Calculations With Unexampled Rapidity and Accuracy

The intellect remains unfettered by tedious processes, for the statement of each question, the operation and the result, are simultaneous and apparent in their connection. The laws that govern its operations are few and simple, and easily understood; and the curiosity of the uninitiated may be stimulated by learning, that on an instrument as portable as a pocket-book we have the whole gamut Of numbers; and that whether as a means for self-instruction or advancement, for unsurpassed utility in business, or for profitable amuse ment, its study is well rewarded in its capabilities for variod application. Scientific men estimate its value, the man of business would soon appreciate its assistance, and it will be well for the practical mechanic when he learns how to employ it intelligently, instead Of carrying it in his pocket, yet unable to avail himself Of its extraordinary powers.
