of the horizontal parallaxes of the sun and moon being found to be 6o' SS''', as 

 shall be hereafter shown, but is not required with extreme exactness for this 

 purpose, the difference of the parallaxes in altitude, at both ends of the axis, 

 will be found to be l' 56", and by so much did the diameter of the moon when 

 40° high exceed that of the sun ; hence the horizontal diameter of the moon 

 in this anomally is found 33' 27", which may serve for a rule in all other 

 cases. 



I forbear to particularise the chill and damp which attended the darkness of 

 this eclipse, of which most spectators were sensible, and equally judges ; as also 

 the concern that appeared in all sorts of animals, birds, beasts, and fishes, on 

 the extinction of the sun, which we ourselves could not behold without some 

 sense of horror. 



Lastly, I have added the following synopsis of such observations as have 

 hitherto come to my hands.
