Halley’s “most celebrated work ... was ‘Astronomiz cometice synop- 
sis, communicated to the Royal Society in 1705, and separately published 
in English at Oxford the same year. It was reprinted with his Tables in

This abridgment gives (5: 201) only the caption of Halley’s memoir, with 
the note following: “Dr. Halley’s Astronomy of comets is here omitted, as 
it has been elsewhere published in a much fuller and more complete state, 
and that both in the English and Latin languages; as in the Miscellanea 
Curiosa, of Dr. Halley, in 3 volumes 8vo, in English; also translated and 
published in English, by G. T. Gent, in 8vo, 1757; and still more complete 
and perfect in Dr. Halley’s Astronomical Tables, in 4to, both in Latin and 
English.”

both in English and in Latin, for computing the places of the sun, 
moon, planets and comets. 1 vol. 4to. London, 1752. 
This rare work, of which a copy is in the Hon. John S. Lawrence’s private 
library, Grand Rapids, Michigan, was probably edited by James Bradley, suc- 
cessor of Halley as astronomer-royal. (Cf. Notes and Queries, 9th series, 
11: 464.) In this book a revision of Halley’s Synopsis of comets is included.
