CATALOGUE. 143
appear to have at once set about the preparation of an edition for issue at Lyons, and, as will be seen from the next entry, had some copies printed with the date 1619 on the first title-page. The three parts are usually found together, but some copies contain only the Descriptio and Tabula. The Admonitio is omitted from the last page (M22) of the Tabula, but in many copies its place is taken by the “Extraict du Priuilege du Roy,” at the end of which is printed “Acheué d’Imprimer le premier Octobre, mil six cents dixneuf.” The copies in the Advocates’ Library, Edinburgh, and Astor Library, New York, have this Extraict on M22 of the Tabula, and have also on H41 of the Constructio the Extraict reset with the note at end altered to “Mirifici Logarithmorum Acheué d’imprimer le 31 Mars 1620.”
The edition is a fairly correct reprint of the Edinburgh one, but the decimal notation employed by Briggs in his Remarks on the Appendix has not been understood, the line placed by him under the fractional part of a number to distinguish it from the integral part being here printed under the whole number. The only intentional alteration, besides the title-page, is in the Dedication to Prince Charles, where “Franciæ” is omitted from his father’s title, “magne Britanniæ, Franciæ, & Hiberniæ Regis.”

The only respect in which this entry differs from the preceding is in the date on the title-page. A possible explanation of this may be that the title-page was originally set up with the date m. dc. xix., but
