And that it was fo at Badfircrth about the fame Diftance 
from £> Arrington, we are told by a Letter of the Reverend 
and Learned Mr- Daubuz, that he has a certain Account 
from that Place, that the luminous Ring round the Moon 
was feen there, which was no where vifible but while the 
Eclipfe was Total. From thefe Data we may fecurely 
determine the Remainder of this Track, and that the 
Edge of the Shadow having paft over the reft of Torkfhire 
went off to Sea about Flamboreugh head. 
So that of the forty Counties into which England is fub- 
divided, only the five mod Northerly have not had the Sun 
wholly hid ftom them ; and fix others have efcaped but in 
part, viz* Shropfkire, Chejhire and Torkfhire, and the extream 
part of Darby/hire on the North, and Kent and Suffex on the 
South ; all the reft of the Kingdom having more or lefs 
fullered an Interval of Total Darknefs. 
I fhall not at- prefent confiderthis Eclipfe as univerfal, 
but only as it related to England ; and it fhall fuffice to 
fay, that the Shadow came out of the Atlantick Ocean, 
having paft over the Iflands Azores ; t*nd that the 
Southern Limit thereof reach’d the Ille of U(hant, and 
the North weft Coafts of Britanny between Brejl and Mor - 
laix ? and dividing our Iflands of Guernfey and Jerfey, juft 
touched upon the Promontory of Normandy called Capede 
Hague. And that after it had quitted England and traver- 
fed the German Ocean , it fell on Jutland on the Southfide, 
and Norway on the North ; and thence proceeded to the 
Eaftwards over Sweden , Finland , &c. 
ft remains now to confiderthe Figure, Pofition, Dire- 
ction, Velocity and Magnitude of the Shadow at is paft 
over us. And firft as to the Figure, ’tis obvious that the Sha- 
dow of the Moon being a Cone and the Earth’s Surface 
fufticiently Spherical, the apparent Shadow on the Earth 
will be the common Interfedion of a Cone and Sphere, 
which is afigure hitherto little confidered by Geometers;
