But if Briggs's firft twenty chiliads of logarithms be fuppofed made, as he has very carefully computed them to fourteen places, the firft ftep alone is capable to give the logarithm of any intermediate number true to all the places of thofe tables. After the fame manner may the difference of the faid two logarithms be very fitly applied to find the logarithms of prime numbers, having the logarithms of the two next numbers above and below them : for the difference of the ratio of a... Page 591 - Saunderfon, in the fécond volume of his Algebra, in the chapter on the binomial theorem, where the reader will find a good explanation and illuftration of the faid celebrated theorem, by a variety of examples, both in the cafe of integral powers and in the cafe of roots, and other fractional powers, and even in the cafe of negative powers, and of powers that are both fractional and negative ; but no demonftration of it in any cafe, not even in that of integral and affirmative powers. FINIS. Page 87 - If the curiosity of any gentleman that has leisure Would prompt him to undertake to do the logarithms of all prime numbers under 100,000 to 25 or 30 figures, I dare assure him that the facility of this method will invite him thereto; -nor can anything more easy be desired. And to encourage him, I here give the logarithms of the first prime numbers under 20 to 60 places. Page 88 - I conceive was never till now perfected, without the confideration of the Hyperbola, which, in a matter, purely arithmetical, as this is, cannot fo properly be applied. But what follows, I think I may more juftly claim as, my own, viz. that the Logarithm of the...

Nor have I been obliged to have recourfe to the method of indivifibles, or the arithmetick of infinites, the whole being no other than an eafy corollary to Mr. Newton's General Theorem for forming Roots and Powers.
