complexity, it is simplicity itself; the veriest hind could use it. 
“It admits of variety,” indeed, and that of an important descrip= 
tion when the combining circumstances, which aid or defeat the 
return of the “ answering spirits back from death,” are consi- 
dered in all their varied phenomena. 
Should I receive no comment or elucidation from any friend 
embarked along with myself in the same grand cause of huma- 
“nity, through the medium of your pages, J shall at my early 
leisure point out the essential points in which I conceive the 
‘© bellows” deficient, and the numerous advantages which I be- 
lieve attendant on the employment of the apparatus I have in- 
vented and presume to recommend. My inferences shall be de- 
ductions drawn from experiments instituted by myself: and also 
well-authenticated proofs, from other sad and unsuccessful cases, 
of the inutility of the ‘‘ bellows.’’ My ardour in the cause is too 
powerful to be chilled by hypothetical opinion, and too vivid to 
be quenched without a cause. 
I have the honour to be, sir, 
Your very faithful and obliged servant,

XLII. On the Solar Eclipse which will happen on the 28th and 
29th of November 1826 ; being the principal Results of a 
Calculation for Greenwich. By Mr. Grorce Innes of 
Aberdeen. 
To Dr. Tilloch. 
Sir, — I SEND you for insertion in your Magazine, the results 
of a calculation for Greenwich, of the solar eclipse which will 
happen on the 28th and 29th of November 1526. The elements 
have heen found from the Solar Tables of M. Delambre, and the 
Lunar Tables of M. Burckhardt. 
Although the moon’s apparent semidiameter exceeds that of the 
sun, yet, by reason of the moon’s great north latitude, the eclipse 
will not be total at any part of the globe, as the central path 
of the penumbra will pass beyond the north pole. For the same 
reason, at those places where the eclipse will be visible, the pa- 
rallaxes in latitude will not be very different; and therefore also 
the digits eclipsed will be nearly the same to all places in Great 
Britain: but as the moon will be at a considerable distance from 
the nonagesimal, the times will be affected by the parallaxes in 
longitude, which vary with the situation of the place. 
The elements are as follow: 
Ecliptic
