Abstract
WE have in this small work a compact and trustworthy set of tables, facts, and formulæ which come within the scope of an ordinary education. As a reference book, it should prove most useful, the information it conveys being concise and to the point. In addition to the usual tables of weights and measures, &c., we have an account of the physical and electrical units now in use, followed by the most important formulæ used in algebra, mensuration and trigonometry, and tables of exchange, principal units of value throughout the world, and comparative average values of some important coins, the last of which will doubtless be found useful to those travelling abroad. Some of the most important business forms, such as “Form of a Joint Promissory Note,” “Form of Foreign Bill of Exchange,” &c., are printed in full; and the work concludes with postal and telegraph rates. On the back of the cover are printed diagrams of a square decimetre and centimetre and a square inch, together with scales of centimetres and inches.
