From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Logarithm \Log"a*rithm\ (l[ocr]g"[adot]*r[icr][th]'m), n. [Gr.
      lo`gos word, account, proportion + 'ariqmo`s number: cf. F.
      logarithme.] (Math.)
      One of a class of auxiliary numbers, devised by John Napier,
      of Merchiston, Scotland (1550-1617), to abridge arithmetical
      calculations, by the use of addition and subtraction in place
      of multiplication and division.
  
      Note: The relation of logarithms to common numbers is that of
               numbers in an arithmetical series to corresponding
               numbers in a geometrical series, so that sums and
               differences of the former indicate respectively
               products and quotients of the latter; thus, 0 1 2 3 4
               Indices or logarithms 1 10 100 1000 10,000 Numbers in
               geometrical progression Hence, the logarithm of any
               given number is the exponent of a power to which
               another given invariable number, called the base, must
               be raised in order to produce that given number. Thus,
               let 10 be the base, then 2 is the logarithm of 100,
               because 10^{2} = 100, and 3 is the logarithm of 1,000,
               because 10^{3} = 1,000.
  
      {Arithmetical complement of a logarithm}, the difference
            between a logarithm and the number ten.
  
      {Binary logarithms}. See under {Binary}.
  
      {Common logarithms}, or {Brigg's logarithms}, logarithms of
            which the base is 10; -- so called from Henry Briggs, who
            invented them.
  
      {Gauss's logarithms}, tables of logarithms constructed for
            facilitating the operation of finding the logarithm of the
            sum of difference of two quantities from the logarithms of
            the quantities, one entry of those tables and two
            additions or subtractions answering the purpose of three
            entries of the common tables and one addition or
            subtraction. They were suggested by the celebrated German
            mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (died in 1855), and are
            of great service in many astronomical computations.

   d8Springbok \[d8]Spring"bok`\, Springbuck \Spring"buck`\, n. [D.
      springbok; springen to spring, leap + bok a he-goat, buck.]
      (Zo[94]l.)
      A South African gazelle ({Gazella euchore}) noted for its
      graceful form and swiftness, and for its peculiar habit of
      springing lighty and suddenly into the air. It has a white
      dorsal stripe, expanding into a broad patch of white on the
      rump and tail. Called also {springer}. [Written also
      {springboc}, and {springbock}.]
