The scale of interest. The second part, An appendix containing the description and use of the carpenters rule, and Ephemeris or diary, shewing the interest and rebate of money at 6 per centum have separate title pages, dated 1667; Chiliades decem logarithmorum, and Tabula partium proportionalium have divisional title pages

An ephemeris or diary, shewing the interest and rebate of money at 6 per centum = Wing N1058A, but it does not appear to have been published separately. The C copy, the only one recorded in Wing, is at the same shelfmark as The scale of interest
