Page 49 - Napier lord of Markinston, hath set my head and hands at work with his new and admirable logarithms. I hope to see him this summer, if it please God ; for I never saw a book which pleased me better, and made me more wonder.
Page 73 - An account of the life, writings, and inventions of John Napier, of Merchiston; . . . Perth, . . . London, 1787.
Page 168 - the most worthless book of a bygone day is a record worthy of preservation; like a telescopic star, its obscurity may render it unavailable for most purposes; but it serves, in hands which know how to use it, to determine the places of more important bodies.
Page 154 - I to 100,000, by the aid of which Multiplication may be performed by Inspection ; with an Introduction explanatory of its use, and also of the Method of obtaining the Products of Numbers exceeding the limits of the Table.
Page 149 - A Table of Anti-Logarithms ; containing to seven places of decimals, natural numbers, answering to all Logarithms from -00001 to -99999 ; and an improved table of Gauss' Logarithms, by which may be found the Logarithm of the sum or difference of two quantities.
Page 150 - ЯА tabular series of decimal quotients for all the proper vulgar fractions of which, when in their lowest terms, neither the numerator nor the denominator is greater than 1000, London, 1823, pp.
Page 161 - Tables of Logarithms of all Numbers, from 1 to 101000, and of the Sines and Tangents to every Second of the Quadrant...
Page 154 - THE PHILOSOPHY OF ARITHMETIC ; exhibiting a Progressive View of the Theory and Practice of Calculation, with Tables for the multiplication of numbers as far as one thousand. Second Edition, improved and enlarged.
Page 152 - Mathematical Tables; containing the Common, Hyperbolic, and Logistic Logarithms, also Sines, Tangents, Secants, and Versed Sines, both Natural and Logarithmic. Together with several other Tables useful in Mathematical Calculations. To which is prefixed, a large and original History of the Discoveries and Writings relating to those Subjects; with the complete Description and Use of the Tables.
Page 149 - ... solution of sulphate of copper arrived at the same result * — it is true, by a somewhat more circuitous route (compare § 60), — and Bufff, too, by a method very similar to that described.
