Dr. Maskelyne's Remarks f &c. 
I shall make no conjectures on the cause to which this ex- 
traordinary phaenomenon may be attributed ; but only remark, 
that it is probably of the same nature with that of the light 
seen of late years in the dark part of the moon by our inge- 
nious and indefatigable astronomer. Dr. Herschel, with his 
powerful telescopes, and formerly by the celebrated Domi- 
nic Cassini ; although this has been so illustrious as to have 
been visible to the naked eye, and probably equal in appear- 
ance to a star of the third magnitude.
