Logarithmicall arithmetike. Or Tables of logarithmes for absolute numbers from an unite to 100000 [microform] : as also for sines, tangentes and secantes for every minute of a quadrant: with a plaine description of their use in arithmetike, geometrie, geographie, astronomie, navigation, &c. These numbers were first invented by the most excellent Iohn Neper Baron of Marchiston, and the same were transformed, and the foundation and use of them illustrated with his approbation by Henry Briggs Sir Henry Savile Professor of Geometrie in the Vniversitie of Oxford. The uses whereof were written in Latin by the author himselfe, and since his death published in English by diverse of his friends according to his mind, for the benefit of such as understand not the Latin tongue.

Notes: | Not in fact a translation of "Arithmetica logarithmica", but a different work. The table of logarithms begins an unpaginated section collating A-3R⁶ 3S⁴. It consists of sheets from the 1628 edition printed in Gouda. A1r is a divisional title, either in Dutch ("Tafel der logarithmi voor de ghetallen van 1 af tot 100000") or Latin (not seen). Within this series, "Canon triangulorum" has divisional title. Variant: with the Latin introduction to the tables from the Gouda edition. Reproduction of the original in Cambridge University Library. STC (2nd ed.) 3740. Available electronically as part of Early English books online. University of Chicago has also on microfilm. Ann Arbor, Mich. : UMI, 1955. 1 microfilm reel ; 35 mm.
