The Ptolemaic System explained; the Reasons of Days and Nights; their Increase, and Decrease; the different Seasons, viz. Summer and Winter, Heat and Cold, the Moon's Increase and Decrease; the Solar and Lunar Eclipses; and when they happen: All demonstrated by the Assimilo. Beginning at Page 32. III. The Copernican System explained, and all the fore-mention'd Particulars demonstrated, according to that System, by the Assimilo; and proved, though the Sun be nearer to us in Winter than in Summer, that will not Counter-Change the Seasons, as many apprehend. Beginning at Page 55. IV. The Elements of Chronology explained, viz. Kalendars, Cycles, and Periods, and how to find all the Particulars generally taken Notice of in the Almanacks: And solved the most useful Problems in Navigation, and Astronomy; and shewn how to find the Variation of the Magnetical Compass, and the Latitude by Observation: and likewise explained the System of the Planets and Comets, and demonstrated them by the Assimilo; which performs every Thing that can be done by the common artificial Globes. As well as the Demonstration of both the Ptolemaic and Copernican Systems; Beginning at Page 83. This Book was composed, and the Assimilo invented and contrived in the Year 1734.

An essay on currents at sea; By which it appears, There is Reason to apprehend, that the Sea is not a Fluid in a State of Rest, except those Motions which are caused by the Impulse of Winds, and that known by the Name of Tides: And consequently, That this Earth is not of a uniform Density, according to the Supposition of Sir Isaac Newton; but that the Currents of the Gulph of Florida, also on the Coast of Brasil, and the Northern In-Draught on this Western Coast, are Currents of Circulation, kept up by different Densities in this Earth, and its Motion round its Axis.
