This is a set <strong>of</strong> tables <strong>of</strong> squares and cubes <strong>of</strong> all integers<br />

from 2 to 12,000. A short introduction provides a few<br />

examples <strong>of</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> the tables. The frontispiece is a<br />

nicely engraved scene with a cupid figure, indicating<br />

that the volume <strong>of</strong> a cubic stone can be determined by<br />

reference to this book. Although there is a short errata at<br />

the end <strong>of</strong> the volume, the tables are replete with other<br />

errors. Many corrections have been manually entered in<br />

the tables, sometimes as many as seventeen per page.<br />
