A TABLE OF ANTI-LOGARITHMS. 

 Containing to Seven Places of Decimals, natural Num- 

 bers, answering to all Logarithms fr.im OOOJl to 9&U99 ; and an 

 improved Table of Gauss's Logaritlims, by which may be found 

 the Logarithm to the sum or ditl'erence of fwo 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 

 IIersciieli E. Filipowski. 



The publisher, having purchased the copyright and stereotype 

 places of these Taldes, (published a few months ago at 2/. 2s.,) is 

 enabled to oflfer 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-Loijarithms. and of Gauss's Logarithms, and also tlie plan 

 of his proposed table of .Annuities for three lives, constructeil 

 from the Carlisle Table. 



"The table of .Anti-Logarilhms is, I think, all that could be 

 wished, in extent, in structure, and in typography. For ils ex- 

 tent it is unique among modern T.ables. Of accur.icy 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 Talile is 

 used with ease, as I have found upon trial ; and that its extent, as 

 compared with other tables, and particularly witli other kive- 

 I'K.URE tables, of the same kind, will recomm'enil it. I desire to 

 confine myself to testifying to the facility viith which tliis table 

 can be used ; comparison with other forms, as to relative 

 lacility, being out of the question on so short a trial. 



" On the taiilc of .Annuities for three live-, there i« hardly 

 occasion lo say anything. .MI who are conver*ant with Life 

 Contingencies arc well aware how much it it wanted.
