Page 1 - Mr Smith's Work is a most useful publication. The Rules are stated with great clearness. The Examples are well selected and worked cut with just sufficient detail without being encumbered by too minute explanations; and there prevails throughout it that just proportion of theory and practice, which is the crowning excellence of an elementary work.

Page 93 - The logarithm of any power, integral or fractional, of a number is equal to the product of the logarithm of the number by the index of the power. For let m = a"; therefore m' = (a")
Page 94 - ... is some number between — 2 and — 3 ; that is, — 3 plus a fraction ; and so on. 5. In the common system, as the logarithms of all numbers which are not ^exact powers of 10 are incommensurable with those numbers, their values can only be obtained approximately, and are expressed by decimals. 6. The integral part of any logarithm is called the CHARACTERISTIC, and the decimal part is sometimes called the MANTISSA.
