PROP. III. To find the Square-Root of a Number.

Admit it be required to Extract the Square∣Root of the Number 144, to perform which first write down the Log: of 144 which is 2. 15836. Then take the half thereof which is 1. 07918 which number 1. 07918, is the Log: of 12, the Root of 144 propounded, and so do for any other.

NOTE.

Now on the Contrary by doubling the Log. of any number, you have the Geometrical Square thereof.
