right afcenfions and declinations ; and from them, 
her longitudes and latitudes. The refultof the whole, 
or the planet’s difference in longitude from the Sun’s 
centre and her latitude, is fet down above, againft 
each obfervation of Venus. 
From hence I concluded that at the central emer- 
fion, which I put at 4 11 56' 38", the difference of 
longitude was if 19, and the latitude if 6". 
Alio, that the conjundtion in longitude happened at 
2 h 4' 36", the planet’s latitude then being 9' 28 '. 
In thefe calculations, I fuppofed the lemidiameter 
of the Sun to be 1 5' 50", and of Venus 29". 
By feveral obfervations, I found the latitude of the 
place 47° 32' N ; which falls within the latitudes 
laid down in feveral books and maps, which make it 
from 47 0 25' to 48° o ' . I could make no ufe of Ju- 
piter’s fatellites in finding the longitude, as they were 
not rifen high enough to be obferved above an hour 
before day-light came on. There were but two of 
their eclipfes that could have been vifible there while I 
was on the iff and ; and though I watched for both 
of them, I was difappointed of both by unfavourable 
weather. Neither was I fortunate enough to get fo 
much as one occultation of a fixed fiar by the Moon, 
though I fpared no pains for it. The only obfervation 
I could get for this purpofe was of the right afcenfion 
of the Moon, which I endeavoured to find, by com- 
paring with that of a fixed fiar. But whether any 
mifiake was committed in counting the clock, or in 
writing down the obfervations, or whether the pofiti- 
on of the telelcope was difiurbed by any accident in 
the interval between the Moon’s and ftar’s palling, I 
am not able now to fay. However, as I am Icnlible
