The tables are those of Vlacq's Arithmetica logarithmica, Gouda, 1628, which was based on Brigg's work of the same title, 1624. After the death of Briggs, Miller bought copies of Vlacq's work, and issued the tables with a new title-page and an English introduction as a new edition of Briggs' Arithmtica logarithmica. cf. C. G. Knott, Napier tercentenary memorial volume, p. 204, and Cantor, Vorlesungen über geschichte der mathematik, v. 2, p. 745.
