[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 109468, member: 924"]This book came from a house clearance via a general auction, medical family by the mix, quite a few antiquarian books, earliest dating to 18th century. Among them was this table of logarithms, very well used, front cover board detached and no title page! Book appears complete from the inscription page. The 1827 dated preface does not contain appended erratum which I understand appeared in the second edition. Log tables end on page 201 and there is 1 page of constants following. Preface ends page xii and introduction ends page xx. Page colours vary between white for endpapers and yellow to dirty brown for the rest.
