APPENDIX. 



Thefe obfervations give a figure of the earth nearer to 



Sir Ifaac Newton's computation than any others which 



have hitherto been made. 



According to Sir Ifaac Newton the Pen- 

 dulum gains in latitude 79° 50', 66",9; 



In which cafe the equatorial diameter 



would be to the polar as - - 23010229: 



According to Mr. Bradley's computation, 

 from Mr. CampbeH's obfervations, 76,6; 



Equatorial diameter to the polar as - 201 to 200; 



According to Maupertuis, - - 86,5; 



Equatorial diameter to the polar as - 1 78101 79 ^ 



Equatorial diameter to the polar as - J '^ '" 



[2 10,7 to 209,7: 



The mean of which is very nearly as - 212 to 211.
