    In connection with this project £809 were spent, of which apparently £259 was for computing and £550 for printing. There was a reference to these tables in nature, v. 15, 1877, p. 252. After Glaisher’s death in 1928 30 manuscript volumes covering the work of these ten-place tables became the property of BAASMTC.. What was first planned as a 100-page Introduction to the Tables later developed into a planned “Memoir on the theta and omega functions” by H. J. S. Smith (1826-1883), to follow the Tables; but Smith died before this was quite complete. It is printed in Smith’s Coll. Math. Papers, v. 2, 1894, p. 415-621.
