A new treatise of astronomy, or astronomy opened: being a rational and mathematic enquiry into the true principles and nature of astronomy, or frame of our solar system. Wherein Divers and weighty Reasons will be offered, to shew that the present-received System cannot possibly be the True one. Also a New System will be humbly proposed, for the Examination of the Learned, whereby all the Coelestial Phoenomena will be much more naturally explained, and accounted for, than by the present System, and without that oblique and unnatural Motion of the Earth our Astronomers are obliged to suppose. By Samuel Bamfield, Teacher of Mathematics, at Honiton, Devon.
