It would have been defirable, to obtain a correction 

 of the tables, from obfervations, made at the firft me- 

 ridian at Greenwich ; that our calculation might not 

 be affe(Sted,by the fmall errours,to which the longitudes 

 of all places in the United States are liable. But as 

 this eclipfe was not vifible in Europe, we have had re- 

 courfe to obfervations made here, to determine the 

 latitude and longitude of the moop, and the true tim^ 

 of conjunction.
