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's Logarithms, by which may be found the Logarithm to the sum or difference of Two Quantities where Logarithms are given: preceded by an Introduction, containing also the History of Logarithms, their Construction, and the various Improvements made therein since their invention. By Herschell E. Filipowski.

The publisher, having purchased the copyright and stereotype places of these Tables, (published a few months ago at 2l. 2s.,) is enabled to offer a corrected edition at the above reduced price.

Testimonial of Augustus de Morgan, Esq.

"I have examined the proofs of Mr. Filipowski's Table of Anti-Logarithms, and of Gauss's Logarithms, and also the plan of his proposed table of Annuities for three lives, constructed from the Carlisle Table.

"The table of Anti-Logarithms is, I think, all that could be wished, in extent, in structure, and in typography. For its extent it is unique among modern Tables. Of accuracy I cannot speak, of course; but this being supposed, I have no hesitation in recommending it without qualification.

"The form in which Gauss's Tables are arranged will be a matter of opinion. I can only say that Mr. Filipowski's Table is used with ease, as I have found upon trial; and that its extent, as compared with other tables, and particularly with other FIVE-FIGURE tables, of the same kind, will recommend it. I desire to confine myself to testifying to the facility with which this table can be used; comparison with other forms, as to RELATIVE facility, being out of the question on so short a trial.

"On the table of Annuities for three lives, there is hardly occasion to say anything. All who are conversant with Life Contingencies are well aware how much it is wanted.

"A. de Morgan."

George Bell, No. 186. Fleet-street.
