DocumentDescription
This is a table with a decimal subdivision of the circle (the French attempt to reform trionometry after the revolution to make it metric) The logarithms are a report of Gardner’s 1742 tables.This is an edition of Gardiner's 1742 tables. These were widely regarded as being highly accurate but they were only produced in small print runs and were difficult to locate. Gardiner’s original tables were published in a larger format (see entries for Gardner) described by Callet as “équivalent à un petit in-folio”. This French edition was designed to provide them both at less cost and in a smaller format that would be easier to use.
