To ensure the correctness of these Tables of Logarithms, they were
compared with Callett’s, Vega’s, Hutton’s, Briggs’, Gardiner’s, and
Taylor’s Tables of Logarithms, and carefully read by nine different
readers; and further, to remove any possibility of an error remaining,
the stereotyped sheets were hung up in the Hall at Cambridge
University, and a reward offered to anyone who could find an
inaccuracy. So correct are these Tables, that since their first issue
in 1827 no error has been discovered.
