The use of astronomy in history and chronology exemplified in an inquiry into the fall of the stone into the Aegospotamos; said to have been foretold by Anaxagoras. In which is attempted to be shewn, that Anaxagoras did not foretell the fall of that stone; but the solar eclipse in the first year of the Peloponnesian War. That what he saw was a comet at the time of the battle of Salamis: and that this battle was probably fought the year before Christ 478; or two years later than it is commonly fixed by chronologers.
