Apresentação:

Tables of interest, at 3, 4, 4 1/2, and 5 per cent. 為本館館藏中最古舊的英文書。在沒有計數機和電腦的年代,很多商業的計算是要靠運算表協助。本古籍的運算表又細分為利息表、佣金表、折扣表、收支表;日薪、週薪、月薪和年薪表等。本書的編著者John Thomson (1733?-1807 ) 所編的運算表自 1775年出版後,也不斷修改,雖然仍有少許絕對誤差,但相對誤差則無,準確度雖然未達百分之百,但是可信度已相當高。到1786年已修訂四次,其計算出來的平均值相當接近真值,結果更加準確,運用更加靈活。

為確保本書數據的準確性,作者John Thomson 在書名頁後面背書了他的親筆簽名,並註明:The warranted Correctness and established Character of the Author’s Books, induce him to inform the Public, that no Copy of any of them is genuine but what is signed by his own Hand, as under.
