...gives 1230-51. The constant does not appear to have been determined from any single value of x ; and it seems likely that it was so chosen as to represent as nearly as possible the results of the earlier enumerations.

...James Glaisher suggested that: "although no doubt the constant was determined mainly from x= 10.000, it does not appear to have been derived from any single...possible the results of the entire enumerations". In the Chapter entitled "D'une loi très remarquable observée dans l'énumeration des nombres premiers"... | |

... does not seem to have been determined solely from the value a; =10,000; for, if this were the case, we should have = 1-08026, which differs from 1-08366 by 0'00340. Legendre's formula for x= 10,000 gives 1230-51. The constant does not appear to have...
