8970 HARBISON (John, Longitude Harrison ') : MASKELYNE (Nevil, pr., F.R.S., Astronomer Royal) 

 ACCOUNT of the GOING of MR. JOHN HARRISON'S WATCH, at the ROYAL OBSERVATORY, from 

 May 6th, 1766, to March 4th, 1767, with the Original Observations and Calculations of the same, 

 published by Order of the Commissioners of Longitude, 4to. (pp. 84), sewn (rare), \ls Qd 1767 



This work forms perhaps the best testimonial, against the attacks of Harrison and Mudge, to the scrupulous fairness of 

 the Astronomer Royal in testing the new chronometers ; though, as mentioned above, Harrison was kept out of the 

 covenanted reward as long as possible for reasons which some have imputed to Dr.Maskelyne. The conditions under 

 which they were examined agree on the whole with the Kew rules of the present day. 



An appendix contains ' Observations of Equal Altitudes of the Sun taken at Portsmouth, Jamaica, and Barbadoes, 

 according to the Time of Mr. Harrison's Watch.'
