Of numbers are multiplied and divided by each 9th"
err and all fractions changed and reduced; different
curencies reduced TO federal money; simple and
compound interest calculated at any rate per cent;
questions answered in loss and gain, rule of three,
proportion, and fellowship; numbers raised to
squares, cubes, Sc, and the square and cube root
extracted; taxes appolt toned; superfcies, squares
and solids measured; areas Of circles; squares,
ellipses and paralelograms given, &c. &c. All
these can be accomplished by simply revolving a
circular card. 1t is simple in its construction and
easily understood, and must save an immense
amount of time and labor among those who have
much calculation to make. We understand from
Mr. Ellis the agent of the work, that it has had an
extensive sale in Boston and its vicinity and has
received the unqualified appreciation of both mathe-
maticans and business men.
