Speidell published revised and expanded versions of texts by his father, John Speidell.[1] He also published a book called Logarithmotechnia, or, The making of numbers called logarithms to twenty five places from a geometrical figure in 1688.[2][3]

Speidell lived in Angel Alley in the 1680s and 1690s, according to the Survey of London.[4]

Speidell's name appears on an instrument made by his contemporary Henry Sutton.[5]
