Here the symbols be, ce, etc., denote differences ; [ce] is the product of four differences :

as subsidiary to the determination of the corresponding values of [a}, {ab}, I nevertheless
give in a table.
The signs are given as they were actually obtained, but as we are concerned only
with the ratios of the functions, it is allowable to change all the signs in any
