and R S. S.aflided by that accurate Obferver Mr. Stephen 
Gray ; by which we learn that the Eclipfe began there at 
8 h. 8'. 5'5^. and ended at io h . 14'. 47" ; and that the Total 
Darknefs continued but about one Minute or rather lefs, 
the middle thereof being at 9 h . 1 3'. 5 z 7 . From this Dura- 
tion it will follow that Norton- court was but about 3 or 4 
Miles within the Shade. And that it was really fo is con- 
firmed by the Relation of the Inhabitants of Boflon, about 
Midway between Nor ton-court and Canterbury, who allu- 
red Mr. Gray, as he was returning home that fame Day, 
that the Eclipfe was not Total there, but, as one of them 
expred it, before the Sun had quite loft his Light on the 
Ead-fide he recovered it on the Weft .• and that there was 
a fmall Light left on the lower part of the Sun that appear- 
ed like a Star. And from Cranbrook in Kent, we are in- 
formed, by the Relation of the curious William Tempefl Efq; 
R. S. S. that he obferved there the Sun to be extinguifhed 
but for a Moment, and inflantly to emerge again .* So that 
the Limit pad enadly over this Town, which is about 38 
Geographical Miles from London, and very near the right 
Angle u here the Perpendicular from London falls on the 
Line of the Limit, being 3'. 00 of Time to the Eadwards 
of London in the Latitude of 51 0 . 6', as near as I can 
gather. 
How it pafl over Suffex we have not fo authentick Rela- 
tions, but have learnt that it wasTotal at Wadhurfl beyond 
Tunbridge-wellsy asalfofor fome fhorttime at Lems 5 but 
that it was not fo at Bright ling, which Place being fituated 
on an Eminence that has a commanding Profpedt, all the 
Country to the Northward was feen in Darknefs, whild 
they there had fome Benefit of a fmall Remainder of the 
Sun. 
From thefe Obfervations we may conclude that this Li- 
mit came upon the Coad of England , about the middle be- 
tween Nerrhavsn and Brighthelmflon in Suffex, and pafiing
