Old table listings such as this are interesting, as they often contained errors (being compiled by human beings) which made their way into various transactions - important to understanding how numbers "that don't add up" added up at the time. Even as late as the 1940s, journals such as MTAC published known errors in printed tables so that those who relied on them could correct errors.Scarce, with only 6 copies listed in OCLC/Worldcat as of this listing.
