Note generali

The scale of interest. The second part, and An appendix containing the description and use of the carpenters rule have separate dated title pages, dated 1667; pagination and register are continuous.

[64] p. at end: Chiliades decem logarithmorum, and Tabula partium proportionalium, each of which have divisional title pages; register is continuous.

Also presumably includes: An ephemeris or diary, shewing the interest and rebate of money at 6 per centum, which has a separate dated title page, dated 1667, and which has signatures: (a)-(b) (c)⁶ (*)² .  This has been filmed on the UMI microfilm set "Early English books, 1641-1700" reel 1920, as a separate item. By analogy with other editions, it



is recorded here as the final [48] p. of the [112] p. section of The scale of interest.

An ephemeris or diary = 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.

Page numbers 8-9 omitted in page numbering only.

Sommario/riassunto

What makes individual freedom valuable? People have always believed in freedom, have sought it, and have sometimes fought and died for it. The belief that it is something to be valued is widespread. But does this



belief have a rational foundation? This book examines answers to these questions that are based on the welfare of the person whose freedom is at stake. There are various conceptions of a worthwhile life, a life that is valuable for the person whose life it is. These conceptions will be examined to see whether they are plausible and what their connection, if any, is to freedo
