Abstract
THE great importance of a sound knowledge of the use of logarithms, and the frequency of their application in the majority of sciences, is sufficient to account for the appearance of such books as that under review, entirely devoted to their exposition. The subject is treated to a small extent in many of the larger text-books on algebra and trigonometry, but their insertion there is more to acquaint the student with the principles than to give him a good working knowledge, which can only be obtained by constant solving of problems.
Manual of Practical Logarithms.
