Lot Essay

Fuller's title page for this double sided circular slide rule boasts that "This work occupied a prominent place at the Crystal Palace" [the Great Exhibition of 1851], and that "Business questions, of every possible variety, are instantly performed: a safe and speedy check to avoid vexatious errors, affording at the the same time a greater amount of practical business knowledge, than can be obtained for ten times the cost of the work." The price for the instrument was $6.00 sold only by subscription.
