REMARKS on Mr. MAYER's LUNAR TABLES: To which our own LUNAR Tables are reducible in the Mean Places and Motions: Sce Examples farther on. HE did not prefume (he says) to send his Tables of the Lunar Motions into the World, without being thoroughly convinced of their very near, and scarce to be hoped-for nearer Agreement with the Heavens. That briefly to tell us, he says, of more than two bundred Observations of the Moon made not only in this but in the preceding Age, scarce ren were found, from which his Tables differ one Minute and a half; a great many of them come nearer than a single Minute, a:d not one of them all discovered an Error in his Tables of two Minutes. Which as no Tables heretofore published perform the like, the best of them often erring four or five Minutes, he was the ' more unwilling his Tables should lie any longer concealed; especially, as the most celebrated Astronomers of almost every Age have ardently wished for a perfect Tbeory of the Moon (to wbich bis Tables are said nearly to approach) on Account of its fingular Ufe in Navigation. Nos, indeed, (he fays) do they seem worthy of Publication for the sake of this particular Service, in compleating the Theory only, but also on Account of that easy and expeditious Method, by which that particular Service from them may be had, in computing the Longitude and Latitude. For, if you look into other Tables, you will find, on Comparison, these larger Equations fo few in Number, and the Rest of them fol imall, that there is no Need- of having Recourse to the troublesome Method of interpoluring, nor of making the Computation of the Arguments to Seconds. He has contructed thefe Tables, he says, with Respect to the Inequalities of Motions, from that famous Tbrory of the GREAT NEWTON, which that eminent Mathematician Eulerus first elegantly reduced to general analyrical Equations. And, in the resolving of these Equations, after some fruitless Essays by other Methods, he has hit (as he says) upon a particular Method, pretty clogant and concle, which is would be too tedious for him to explain at large in his Preface. For which Reason he has concluded only to give fuch Hints as may conduce to lay open the Origin and Causes of the Inequalities exhibited in the Equation Tables, fo far as it can be done without making Vie of Calculations.

He, not being furnished with such accurate Observations, could not promie that the Latitude found by his Tables will come nearer than one Minute: but, in Eclipses, the Error, he afferts, will not amount to 20". And how plain and caly the Method of computing the Latitude is by Tables thus contrived, (like our own for Facility) and how different from all Methods heretofore laid down, is too evident to require making Mention. In settling the mean Motion of the Moon he has endeavoured to arrive at some Degree of Certainty, as well as Agreement with the Observations if ancient Times. He has examined the earliest. Observations of the Lunar Eclipses made by the Babylonians, as well as Hipparchus, and Proleing; though they are so gross and incorrect, that he in vain attempted to bring them tolerably near their Times, by the Tables; but this will not appear ftrange to any one, who considers, that the Ancients, in oblerving the 'Times of these Pbænomena, did not much regard a Quarter * Half an Hour. Besides which there is great Reason to suspect, that Ptolemy, from whom we have the Accounts of these Eclipses, has too boldly altered the Times of fome, and adapted them to the Numbers of his own Hypotheses. Instances of which are produced by Iļmael Baldus, in the Afiros, Plilol. B. III. C. 7. For this Reaion no Body will impute it as a Fault in Mr. Mayer, if his Tables should be found in the Calculation of one or two of those E lipses, not to come within half an Hour. But, notwithstanding this Difference, arising either from Jehe Negligence of the Ancients, or the Unfaithfulness of PTOLEMY, these Observations have concurrently shewn, that the Moon's Motion pof old was sensibly focuer than it is discovered to be in our Age. Halley, and some other Altronomers, have taken Notice of this Acceleration la the Moon's Motion; but the Quantity thereof has scarcely been well ascertained by any one. In order there ore to determine it the more faccurately, Mr. Mayer has, with great Pains and Affiduity, examined the Observations made between those of Prolemy and our 'Time; viz. those ho: Alba:egnius and other Arabian Astronomers. Among which he found two Observations of folar Eclipses , that because of some singular Circumstankes attending them, tbe Sun's Alitude taken at tbeir Beginning and End, ought, in his Judgment, to be accounted more valuable than Gold and Silwer. He does not remember that any of these Gentiemen who compiled Tables of the Moon's Motion, having made any Use of theie observations; though probably more Advantage might be reaped from those alone than from all the Observations of Poclemy. For wnich Reason, and as they are particularly useful to demonstrate the Acceleration of the Moon's Motion, he thought them worthy of a Place, co copied them, as follows, from the Prolegomena of Tycho's Historia Cæleftis, where they have hitherto lain hid among others of leis AC « In tbe Year of Mahomet's Flighe 367, on Thursday tb2 2816 of tbe latter Montb Rabia, was observed at Grand Cairo, the Metropolis of ** Egypt, ibe Beginning of an Eclipse of the Sun, wbicb, a: rbar Time, was 15° 43'. bigb, rbe Quantity of the Obscurarion 8 Digits; ariel « End obe Sun's Altitude was 33o. 1.

The SYDEREAL and SOLAR DAY.
THE Rotation of the Earth, on its own Axis to the Left, or Easterly, being uniform, (causing an apparent uniform Revolution of the fixed Stars, about the Earth, to the Right, or Westerly) is the equal Measure of Time. For, the Diameter of the Earth's Orbit being but a Point in Proportion to the immense Distance of the fixed Stars, their Position cannot be altered to us by any other Motion of the Earth than that of its Rotation on its own Axis, except a small apparent Change caused by the progreslive Motion of Light, and of the Earth in its Orbit. And therefore the real Rotation Easterly of the same Point, or Meridian of the Earth, to the same fixed Point in the Heavens, for the apparent Revolution, Westerly, of the same fixed Star, to the fame Spot, or Meridian, of the Earth) through an entire Revolution, is alyays the equal Measure of what is called the Sydereal Day. But, the Earth having an accelerated or retarded Motion, through its Orbit, to the Left, round the Sun, and a Rotation the same way, or to the Left, on its Axis, causes an apparent Motion of the Sun to the Right. The Interval of these two Motions (real or as parent) at the Sun's next Return to the same Meridian, is what the Astronomers call the Afronomical, or mean Solar Day, which they make to begin and end at Noon. For if they reckoned it to begin and end from and to any other Time of the Day, (as from and to Morning or Evening) the Inequalities of the solar Daws would be much greater, on Account of the Increase ard Decrease of art ficial Days. And the Sun being the bigger Light, and the Stars revolving in Succellion through the Year, the solar Day, for that Reason, is found more convenient than the sydereal, for the common Measure of Time. If the Sun had no other apparent Motion than that of its diurnal Revolution round the Earth, it would, every Day, appear to describe the fame Parallel , through the Heavens, (from Rising to Setting) and be accompanied with the fame fixed Stars at its Return to the same Meridian. But by the Earth's Progresfion in its Orbit, as before described, the Sun, every Day, appears to be removed as much to the Left, or Eastward, of the Sun's Place on the former Day, as the Earth has really moved the fame Way, in the oppofite Part of the Orbit or Ecliptic. And therefore, apparently , the Sun returns to the same Meridian each Day, about 59'8" (the Earth's mean diurnal Motion in right Ascension) later than on the former Day, or Return of the same fixed Star to the fame Meridian. For the Stars appear to advance, each Day, about 59'8", (or 76 Part of a Revolution) of the Sun.' Hence i mean astronomical or solar Day is measured by the Sum of 1 Revolution of the Earth on its Axis, and Part of another Revolution, = 3650 + 59' 8", OR An ASTRONOMICAL or SOLAR D'AY, AT ALL TIMES, is accurately , measured by the Sum of 360° of the Equatory, and an Are of the Equator correspondent to the Are of the elliptic Orbit, described by the Earth (or Sun apparently) in that Day, i. e. 360° + Diff. R. Å, in that Day. For, when the Earth has described a Revolution of 360° to the fixed Stars, on its own Axis, it must still revolve to the Left, that Day, as much as its annual Departure in R. A. the same way in its Orbit, to bring the Meridian of the Earth under the Sun; then apparently removed to the Left, or Eastward, as much as the Earth has advanced in the contrary Part of her elliptic Orbit. The like is also evident by the apparent Metier of the Sun and Stars exhibited on the cæleftial Globes. Therefore, if a. fixed Star comes to the Meridian with the Sun, at Noon, the fame fixed-Star, after one Monitor iz of a Year, will come to the fame Meridian exactly ti of 24 Hours, or 2 Hours, sooner, and so, in Proportion, for any Number of Months after. In 6 Months, or Half a Year, it will come to the Meridian at Midnight, 12 Hours preceding the Suņ; and in 365 Days, being almost a folar Year, it will come to the Meridian about one Day sooner, or nearly. return to it again with the Sun; in which last Intervai, the same fixed Star will: have returnú to the Meridian about. 366 Times, or made nearly that Number of Revolutions to 365 Returns to the Meridian, or Revolutions, of the Sun. 365 Days Hence, = 23h 56m 3' 56th 360 56", &c. = Time of i Revolution of the Earth or fixed Stars : 366 Revs, being nearly the Quantity of the Sydereal Day, in mean folar Time, but not correctly. See Fergusen's Afrmony (P. 95, 96) erroneously making 366 Sydereal Revolutions, exactly, in 365 folar Days.

DIVISION of TIME. March the 20th, 3h 54 30°, Morning ; and fell about 44" 21°, later in 1752, that Year for which the Oli Stile was corrected to correspond with the new one, or foreign Account of Time, and likewise adapted to the Error of the Equinex, falling on the 21st, instead of on the 20th of March, as it fell at the Nicene Council, and falls at this Time , though the Alteration of our Stile to correspond with the foreign Account was the principal View. Pope Gregory XIII. first settled the New St le 1582, who called 5th Oftober the 15th for that Year, thereby striking 10 Days out of the Calendar. For, dividing 1257 Years since the Nicene Council, by 130 Years, in which the Seasons fall back a Day, the Quotient will be above 93 Days, the Seasons were then fallen back. From hence, 1257 Solar Years, fince the Nicene Council appear to have been compleated, besides 91 Days, in 1257 Years of the Julian Reckoning; for which Reason 10 Days loft in the solar Account of Time, were first struck out of the Julian Calendar, lince made to correspond with solar Time. And to prevent (as much as possible) the falling Back of the Seasons in the Month Days for Alteration of Style. the future, and to keep a Conformity between the Gregorian and Solar Account of Time, (the one in whole Days, and the other in Days and Parts, to the Year) Pope Gregory farther ordered, that every Fourth Hundred Year, from 1600, should confitt of 366 Days, as usual; but that every Three Hundred Years or Centuries, in Succession from even Hundreds, mould consist of 365 Days only (fimilar to three fucceffive Years after each B://extile) and not contain 366 Days each, as formerly. Thus he provided for 3 Days, that the Seasons fall back in every 400 (instead of 390) Years. See p. 30, 31. In this New AcCOUNT of Time, called the GREGORIAN or New Stile, from Pope Gregory it's Author, the 5200 For, they fall back in 5200 Years by Julian Account = = 40 Days. 130 5200 400 130 Seasons fall Back ; and therefore = 13, Times 400 Years = 5200 Years Gregorian, as before, in which the Seasons fall back i Day. Anno Chr. The Old Stile was corrected in England to the New, for 1752 The Year of the Nicene Council 325 Now, = 11 Days, nearly, the Seasons fall back from the Time of the Nicene Council, to 1752, the Time 130 Which u Days loft in the solar Account of Time, were fupplied in the Gregorian Account, in our Calendar, by ca' ing the 3d of September 1752, the 14th of that Month. This Alteration of Style reduced the Seafons (with regard to the Month Days) as they stood at the Council of Nice: For 1427 solar Years and 11 Days over are nearly compleated in that Time instead of 1427 Years only, reckoned by the Julian Account. Hence it appears, that reducing the same Number of Days into different Years of any kind, does not give a different Value to those Years in either Account of the same Time ; which is contrary to common Opinion that those Days are loft. For, whether we reckon the same Number of Shillings, in Guineas, at Twenty Shillings and Six Pence, or at 21 Shillings each Guinea, the different Number of Guineas by either Account, in the same Number of Shilling Pieces, will have but the same Value, similar to the same Number of Days in a different Number of Solar, Juhan, and Gregorian Years. Of YEARS. The Civil Year, in moft Parts of Europe, contains 365 Days for three Years fuccefively, olar, Lunar. called common Years, and every 4th Year contains 366 Days, called Leap-Year, or Bifextile. These Civil Years are called also Julian Years, from Julius Cæsar, who added a Day every 4th Year to make ( 25 he expected) the Civil and Solar Account of Time keep Pace together; and keep the Seasons, by that Means, nearly to the same Days of the Month. The civil or common lunar Year is likewise Complete, or Vacant. The Complete consists of 354 Complete. Facant. Days, at the End of which the Year begins again. The Vacant, or Embolimic Year, is that wherein a Month is added to make the Lunar correspond with the solar Account of Time. By this Method, the Jerus kept their Account of Time, according to the Lunar Motion. But, by adding no more than a Month of 30 Days, called Ve-Adar, every third Year, in their Account, it fell Short of the folar Reckoning, in that Time, by about 3 Days. The Page 13
There are (befides the Appearances spoke of ) cloudy Siars in the Heavens, so called from their appearing of a dim and misty Cloudy Stars. Light to the naked Eye ; but appear through a Telescope, to be broad illuminated Parts of the Sky, containing one, or more Stars. Five of these cloudy Stars are mentioned by Ptolemy. 1. One, at the Extremity of the Right-hand of Perseus. 2. One, in the midit of the Crab. 3. One, unformed, near the Sting of the Scorpion. 4. The Eye of Sagittary. 5. Ore, in the Head of Orion. In the first of these more Stars appear, through the Telescope, than in any of the rest; though 21 have been reckoned in Orion's Head; and above 40 in the Crab. Two are visible in the Eye of Sagitrary, without a Telescope ; but several more appear by the Use of that Instrument. Flimfecit observed a cloudy Star in the Bow of Sagittary, containing many small Stars. Cassini and Flamifeed observed one between the Great and Lille Dog, appearing full of Stars, only vifible by the Telescope. The two cubilish Spols near the South Pole, called the Magellanic Clouds. Magellanic Clouds, by Sailors, resembling the Milky Way, to the naked Eye, appear through Telescopes to be a Mixture of small Clouds and Stars. But, the most remarkable of all the cloudy Stars is in the middle of Orion's Sword, where Seven Stars (three of which are close together) seem to hine through a Cloud, very lucid near the middle ; but faint and imperfect about the Skirts : looking like a Gap in the Sky, thrcugh which appears Part of a brigbler Region. Though most of the cloudy Spaces are but a few Minutes of a Degree in Breadth, yet, as they are anions, the Fixed Stars, they must be every one larger Spaces than our Solar Syjiem occupies; as in which there seems to be a perpctual uninterrupted Day, among innumerable Worlds. Of New PERIODICAL STARS. Several Stars are described by antient Aftronomers not now to be found; and others are now visible to the naked Eye rot recorded in antient Catalogues. Hipparcbus observed a new Star about 150 Years before Ciris, who las not mentioned in what Part of the Change of Stars. Heavens it was seen ; though it occafioned his making a Catalogue of the Stars the most antient of any that we now have. The first new Star that we have any certain Account of was discovered by Cornelius Gemma, on the Sib of November, 1572, in Cufficpea's Cbarr. It furpassed Sirius in Magnitude and Brightness, and was seen for 16 Months in Succession. It appeared, at first, bigger than Jupiter to some Eyes, by which Means it was seen at Mid-Day; afterwards it dec yed gradually in its Lustre and Magnitude, till March 1573; when it became invisible. On the 13th of August, 1596, David Fabricius observed the Stella Mira, or wonderful Star, in the Neck of the Periodical Stars. Wbale, fince disappearing and appearing, pericdically, seven Times fix Years, continuing in its greatest Lufire, for 15 Days together, which is never quite extinguished. In the Year 1600, William Jansenius discovered a changeable Star in the Neck of the Savan, which, in Time, became so small, as made it thought to have disappeared till the Years 1657, 1658, and 1659, when it recovered irs former Luftre ard M.fognitude; but loon decayed in both, and is now of the smallejl Size. In tée Tear 1604, Kepler, and several of his Friends, saw a new Star near the Heel of the Right Foot of Serpentarius, fo bright and sparkling, that it exceeded any Thing of the Kind they before had seen, who observed that it was every Moment changing into Lime of the Colours of the Rainbow, except when it was near the Horizon, and generally appeared white. It exceeded jupiter in Magnitude, which it was near during the Month of Oktober, but distinguished from Jupiter by his steadier Light. This Star disappeared buruien Ufeber 160s and Fitruary following, and has not fince appeared. in the Year 1670, July the 15th, Hewelius discovered a necu Star, which, in 0sicher following was so decayed as to be hardly perceptible. In April following, it regained its former Lustre; but wholly disappeared in Auguft. In March 1672 it appeared again very li.ali, diappearing ever fince. In ibe Year 1686, a new Star was discovered by Kircb, disappearing and returning periodically in 404 Days. In ibe Tear. 1672, Caffini observed a Star in the Neck of the Bull, which he judged was not vitible in Tycko's Time, nor yet whes Bayer made his Catalogue. Of Changes in the HEAVENS. Many Stars, besides those before-mentioned, have been observed to change their Magnitudes and Appearances ; but as Periodical Stars Done of them were ever observed to have Tails, 'tis concluded they could none of them be Comer; having no Parallax accounted for. in their greatest Lustre and Magnitudes. It appears probable, that theie periodical Stars, having vaft Clusters of dark Spois, make flow Rotations on their own Axes; by which Means they disappear when the Side covered with Spots is turned towards us. And those Stars, breaking out of a sudden, with such resplendent Brightness, are probabiy Suns of other Syßems, whole Fuel being much exhausted, acquire their Blaze and Splendor, continuing for some Time by the Acceffion of the Comets of that System, lodging on their Surface. For, ibis (according to Sir Isaac Newton) appears to be the greates Use and End of tbe Cemetary Part of a System. And M. Maupertuis, in his Dissertation of the Figures of the Celestial Bodies (p.61 to 63).is of Opinion, that some Stars, by their prodigious swift Rotation on their Axes, assume not only the Figures of flatted Globes next their Axes, but, by the great centrifugal Force, ari fing from such swift Rotations, may become of the Figure of Mill-stones, or even be reduced to jilat circular Planes, so thin, as to be quite invisible when their Edges are turned towards us: As Saturn's Ring is invisible in such Positions. That, when very excentric Planets, or Comits, go round any flat Star in Orbits much inclined to its Equator, the Attraction of the Planets or Comets, in their Peribelion, must alter the Iscliration of the Star; on which Account, it will appear more or less large and luminous, as its Broadfide is more or less turned towards And thus he thinks we may account for the apparent Changes of ibe Mognitud, and Lure of tbofe Stars; as likewise for their appearing and diluppearing at certain Intervals. Some of the Stars, particularly Areturus, have been observed in chan e their Places, in the Heavens, above a Minuse of a Degree, in Refect of the Situation of other Stars. But whether this is owing to any real Motion of the Stars then felves is the Business of many Ages 10 de If our Solar System changes its Place, with Regard to abble Space, it mut, in Time, occafion an apparent Change in the Distances of the Stars from one another. And, in such a Cafe, the Places of the neareft Stars to us being more affected than those at a greater Distance, their relative Pctions will seem to alter, though the Stars themielves were really im novcable. On the other hand, if our Suytron remains at Rest, and any of the Siers of other Synums, have real Motion, in respect of intimice Space, their Positions will be charged thereby, and apparent Places, more or less, according as those Stars are nearer or further from us; and the swifter or power those Motions are, and iheir Directions more or less suited to our Perception. And the same will happen froin rial and differeni Motions in the Systems themelves. The obliquity of the Ecliptic to the equivalis, at preient, about one skird i'art of a Degree less than Piclemy deterIclipe de Obliquity mined it. For most of the Aftroncmcis aiter hire found this Obliquity to decreale gradualy down to Tycko's Time. It changes. it be objected that we cannot depend on the Obiervations of the autient Astronomers, on Account of the Incorrefiness of their Instruments, it may be urzed, that Tyrio anu Flamjleed were both able Observators, and yet Flamfleed makes the Estiptic Oblicuity about 2! Min. of a Degree leíó than Tychodid, atvut 100 Years before ; which Difference can hardly arise from the different Cor. Page 14

RIGHT ASCENSION and DECLINATION of STARS, AY, as the Time marked by a Clock, going uniformly, whether regulated or not, during the Interval of a Star's lution, is to 360°, To determine the Rigbe Afcenfion of any particular Star? RULE. When the Sun is near the Equinox, where its Change in Declination is swiftes, observe its Meridian Height or Declination fome This Metbud gives two Inftants when the Sun was at equal Distances from the fame Tropic; because, at equal Distances, on either Side a The Difference of R. A. answering to these two Inftants, will give (the Star being fixed) the Arc of the Equator, or Sun's Motion in R. A. Ihe Seljitial Colure therefore bisects that Are, the Complement of Half which will be the Sun's true R. A, at the first Observation, Merid. Alt. O Dif, R. A. bet.

A. of the Sun, The above Computation gives the Time of the Passage but nearly; because neither the Sun or Star are supposed to have any Motion in R. A. But, to find the correct Time, compute the Sun and Star's R. A. for the Time already found, and their Difference, reduced to Time, will , on a given Day at Noon be 1120 18', and the R. A. of tbe Sun 1830 42', the Difference 71° 24' 13 71 16 58 7h 14m 528 required. For, observing at what Infiant any Star, whose R. A. is known, passes the Meridian, that Inflant being compared with the orber, found by 4. Another Use of the R. A. and Declination of Stars is, To find the Distance of any Star from the Meridian of a Place at a given Time. Or To find tbe Angle at the Pole, formed by the Meridian of a Place and the Circle of Declination paling through the Star. 28, add obem to the Sun's R. A. at that N. B. When the said Sum is less than the Star's R. A, add to it 360°
