Palmer's Pocket Scale Circular Slide Rule. Here is a very rare Palmer's Pocket Scale book with circular slide rule. The title page states, PALMER'S POCKET SCALE WITH RULES FOR ITS USE IN SOLVING ARITHMETICAL AND GEOMETRICAL PROBLEMS. The date on the inside is 1845. It is in fair condition showing the signs of age, including a loose binding, spotting, discoloration, bumps, tears, loss to the cover and to some of the pages.

None of the page loss affects the printing, which appears complete on a quick look through. The book measures just under 6 inches tall by just under 4 inches wide. The sliderule has a diameter of approximately 2.5 inches. I think there was a a metal knob on it originally which is missing. Some of the printing from inside of the book: Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1844, by AARON PALMER, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Massachusetts.

The proprietors of this invaluable work, beg leave to present the public with the following notice: This Scale (the result of three years' incessant labor) is designed as an assistant in all arithmetical calculations. The simplicity, rapidity, and accuracy of its results have astonished our best mathematicians.

It consists of a logarithmic combination of numbers, arranged in two or more circles, one of which is made to revolve within the other; which process constantly changes the relation of the figures to each other, and solves an infinite variety of problems.

Computations requiring from three to four days, are wrought out by this Scale in the incredible short space of one minute.
