Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on Logarithms
The numbers composing a series in continued proportion, similar to the above, will, on examination, be found to be de rived from each other by the continual multiplication of the previous term by some constant number; thus, in the first series, 6 is derived from 2 by being multiplied by 3, and in like manner 18 is obtained from 6, and 54 from 18; so in the second series, the constant multiplier is 2, each term being derived from the preceding by multiplication by that num ber. A series of numbers thus obtained by the continual multiplication of its terms by a constant number is called a geometrical series; such is the series (a) above; while a series in which the terms are derived by the continual addition of a constant number is termed an arithmetical series, an example of which is afforded by the series (b) above.

Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on Logarithms
The following little work is intended to have a twofold object - both to explain and illustrate the use and application of logarithms for the practical calculator, and to set forth and demonstrate their nature and properties for the mathematical student. While, therefore, the theoretical and practical parts have been kept distinct, so that either might be separately studied or referred to, they have been so written with reference to each other, as to form but one connected treatise, which the student, who really wishes to become thoroughly acquainted with the, subject, should entirely peruse. For, although a knowledge of their mathematical properties is not essential to a knowledge of their use, yet they are so intimately connected, that the acquirement of one greatly facilitates the acquirement of the other.
