With precepts and examples, shewing some of the Uses of Logarithms, in facilitating the most difficult Operations in common Arithmetic, Cases of Interest, Annuities, Mensuration, &c. To which is prefix'd, an introduction, Containing a short Account of Logarithms, and of the most considerable Improvements made, since their Invention, in the Manner of constructing them.
