206 Erwin Tomash Library Briggs, Henry Briggs, Henry figure table of logarithms for numbers up to 200,000, the last half of which had been newly calculated. With these two exceptions, all other pre-twentieth century tables were simply edited copies of the original Briggs and Vlacq computations (see the entry for Babbage, Charles; Notice respecting some errors common to many tables of logarithms, 1829). Illustrations available: Title page Critical logarithms First page of log table B 251 Briggs, Henry (1561–1631) Arithmetica logarithmica sive logarithmorum chiliades triginta, pro numeris naturali serie crescentibus ab unitate ad 20,000: et a 90,000 ad 100,000. Quorum ope multa perficiuntur arithmetica problemata et geometrica. Year: 1624 Place: London Publisher: W. Jones Edition: 1st (another issue) Language: Latin Binding: contemporary leather; gilt embossed covers Pagination: pp. [8], 88, [300], [12] Collation: a–m 4 A–Q 6 R 4 4H 8 4I–4O 6 * 6 6 Size: 324x215 mm Reference: Pogg Vol. I, p. 298; DSB II, p. 462; Hend BTM, #18, p. 40; Horb CC, #38, pp. 33; Car PMM, #116, pp. 69–70 This is another issue of the first edition of Briggs’ logarithms. It is identical to the first issue with the exception that it contains six additional pages with the logarithms for number from 100,001 to 101,000 and a table of square roots for the numbers from 1 to 100. These six additional sheets are pasted in. Illustrations available: Title page Square root table B 252 Briggs, Henry (1561–1631) The first chiliad of logarithmes, called in the discourse aforegoing the table of numbers. b/w: Gunter, Edmund; Canon triangulorum, or a logarithmeticall table: wherein are set downe logarithmes of the sines, & tangents of all the degrees, & minutes of the quadrant. The logarithme of the radius, or semy-diameter beeing 100000000, 1626 Year: 1626 Place: Oxford Publisher: n/p Edition: 1st (English) Language: English Binding: contemporary leather; red leather label Pagination: ff. [109] Collation: A8B4 –R8S4T1 B 252 Size: 106x50 mm Reference: STC, 3742; Kno NTMV, p. 222 This is a very small set of logarithmic tables for values between 1 and 1,000. The logarithms are to eight decimal digits, and the differences between each logarithm are noted (differences are useful for interpolating between values). There is no explanation of any kind, the only text being the title page. This was not the first time Briggsian logarithms had been printed, but it is the first in such a portable format and the first in English (if you count an English title page). The Briggs tables occupy the first 22 leaves and Gunter’s the rest of the volume. Illustrations available: Title page Sample table page B 253 Briggs, Henry (1561–1631) Logarithmicall arithmeticke. Or tables of logarithmes for absolute numbers from an unite to 100000, 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 b/w: de Decker, Ezechiel; Tweede deel van de nievwe tel-konst ofte wonderliicke konstighe tafel, inhoudende de logarithmi, voor de getallen van 1 af tot 100000 toe.

Erwin Tomash Library Briggs, Henry Briggs, Henry Year: 1631 Place: London Publisher: George Miller Edition: 1st Language: English Binding: 18th-century half-bound leather; red leather label, red edges Pagination: pp. [2], 54, 8 Collation: A–H 4 Size: 300x185 mm Reference: Pogg Vol. I, p. 298; Hend BTM, #26.0, p. 58 This work is bound with the very rare work by Ezechiel de Decker. The tables themselves are not present in this copy. When Vlacq issued his Arithmetica Logarithmica, Gouda, 1628, he printed more copies than were needed. After the death of Briggs, Miller bought up copies of the tables and issued them with a new title page and introduction in English. Illustrations available: Title page B 254 Briggs, Henry (1561–1631) B 253 Table des logarithmes, pour les nombres d’un, à 10000 b/w: Wells, John; Sciographia, or the art of shadowes.
