Abstract
THIS small book of logarithms may be said to be a second edition of the tables previously published by the author. In addition to the tables of mantissæ of numbers, the same A B C system has been applied to logarithms of arc functions, with only a slight difference in the method. Besides these the square roots of numbers (from 1 to 100) to three places of decimals are given, and a table of “numbers often wanted,” and of the densities of gases, weights and measures, &c. To facilitate the finding of the logarithms, &c, a lateral index is adopted. Besides being a compact and convenient set of tables, the worker will find them easy to use, and accurate enough for such calculations as are generally met with in the physical laboratory, the class-room, &c.
