All wrote down by Mr. Baxtonden, who kept a 
copy thereof. 
At night, Mr. Holden returned and examined the 
clock by the ftars, and found the time (hewn by the 
clock to be true. 
Between the beginning and the middle of the 
eclipfe, we could plainly perceive inequalities in the 
Moons eaftern limb on the Sun, by means of the 
reflecting telefcope; and I often obferved little tre- 
mulous bright fpecks of the Sun’s lowermoft edge 
in the otherwife dark place juft before, or weft, of the 
lowermoft cufp ; but they vamfhed in an inftant, ex- 
cept one which was confiderably larger than any of 
the reft, and was vifible for about two feconds of 
time by eftimation : but I was fo intent upon ob- 
serving it, and looking for others, that I forgot to 
have the time of its appearance marked down. This 
undoubtedly was owing to a dent or valley in that 
part of the limb of the Moon, which no hill beyond 
it took off from the fight. But as the eclipfe was 
drawing toward the end, we could perceive no ine- 
qualities of the Moon’s weftern limb on the Sun, nor 
any fuch fpecks in the Sun’s edge about either of the 
culps. 
As the Moon’s latitude was north afcending, and 
the cufps not perpendicular till after the middle of 
the eclipfe, I apprehend that when they were fo, the 
apparent altitudes of the centers of the Sun and 
Moon were equal. But whether they were then fo 
or not, I leave to better judgements to determine. 
I {hall now fet down the times of the beginning, 
middle, and ending of the eclipfe, as pre-determin- 
ed by the above-mentioned projection thereof for Li- 
verpool,
