A simple integration by parts and telescopic cancellation leads to a derivation of the first two terms of Ramanujan’s asymptotic series for the nth partial sum of the harmonic series. Kummer’s transformation gives three more terms with an explicit error estimate. We also give best-possible estimates of Lodge’s approximations. Entry 9 of Chapter 38 of B.
