First Edition. "The new tables reflect the modern tendency towards the use of calculating machines in three ways-first, by the extensive use of machines in their making, as reported in prefaces; secondly, by the fact that logarithmic values are tending to be superseded by natural; and thirdly, because the possession of a machine is virtually assumed in tables of special functions, where a wide interval is used and several even orders of differences provided" (p. 339).
