In the-morning of the 27th, the Reverend Mr..Cutler, of 
Ipfwich, and the Reverend Mr. Prince, of Salem, favoured me

by Mann, of London. The magnifying power of Mr. Cutler’s,. 
was 345. and that of mine, 45 times. Mr, Princes telefcope - 
was en achromatic refractor of 3 fect. It’s original, magnifying | 
power was 16: 75 but he increafed it to 4.3 times, by taking-out 
a third glafs of the fliding-tube, and adding another eye-glafs.
