Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1843
There is no necessity for the introduction of this more general system, since all its results can be expressed in terms of those of the more simple definition in the second paper. This new definition of the logometer is really nothing more than the process answering to the extension of the theory of logarithms from the system constructed on the Napierian base, to that which is on any base whatsoever.
