e = — 14."782 = correction of moon's place on true orbit.

rj'=-\- 0."515= correction of difference of do. 



In which »; and v' refer to Burckhardt's semidiameter of the moon 

 and Bessel's semidiameter of the sun. The value of e is obtained by 

 assuming the longitude of the State House, Philadelphia, to be 5h. 

 Om. 39s, west of Greenwich. After applying these corrections of 

 the elements, Mr. Kendall deduces the following longitudes of the 

 places of observation.
