English: First table constructed by John Napier to aid in his calculation of logarithms. Consists of 107 times 100 powers of 0.9999999, computed by successive subtractions. The logarithms of each number can then be calculated by successive addition starting with the log of 0.9999999, which he estimated, in modern terms, by the trapezoidal rule.
