Excerpt from Logarithmick Arithmetick: Containing a New and Correct Table of Logarithms of the Natural Numbers From 1 to 10, 000, Extended to Seven Places Besides the Index, and So Contrived, That the Logarithm May Be Easily Found to Any Number Between 1 and 10, 000, 000

It is believed that a more accurate and extensive system of logarithms for natural numbers was never before published in this countty. The best American Tables are car1ied only to six places besides the index, which, though capable of giving ah swets sufficiently exact in most solutions, are, notwithstanding, deficient where great accuracy is required. In constructing the following table the author has pursued the sercntz'al Met/10d hinted at by Mr. Henry Briggs, Professor Of Geometry in Gresham College London, and Dr. Hutton's Practical Rate for the Construction oflogarzt/zms.
