Astronomy; or, the true system of the planets demonstrated. Wherein are shewn by instrument, their anomalies, heliocentrick and geocentrick places both in longitude and latitude; their Aphelions, Perihelions, Retrogradations and Elongations, Parallaxes and Distances from the Sun and Earth: With the Method of Computing the Times when Venus and Mercury may be seen in the Sun's Disk. Also the Moon's Phases, and Eclipses of the Luminaries, for any time past, present, or to come. With proper Cuts to each Planet: By which any Person may in a few Hours, and with great Ease, attain to a perfect Knowledge of the Planetary, or Solar System. Likewise The Places of the Heavenly Bodies and Motion of the Earth are not only shewn, but plainly and succinctly demonstrated to the Meanest Capacity, by Short and Easie Rules and New Astronomical Tables. With the Places of 130 Principal Fixed Stars, 33 of which lye in the Moon's Way: Design'd as a Help towards discovering the Longitude at Sea. To which is prefix'd, an alphabetical catalogue of as many terms in astronomy as are most Useful, and necessary to be understood. A Work entirely New, and in a Method hitherto unattempted.

Annus mirabilis. Or, An exact and particular account of the great eclipse of the sun, on Monday the 11th of May, 1724. Beginning at 40m. past 5, the middle at 36m. after 6, and ends at half an hour past 7 in the afternoon, and if the clouds do not obstruct, the planets May, Venus, and Mercury will plainly appear, with several types of this eclipse, as it may be seen in London, York, Bath, &c. in England; sevil in Spain, and Mexico in North-America, and several other places: with an astrological judgment, foretelling for five years to come, what may happen from it, in the several affairs of Europe. To which is added an history of the eclipes and comets that have been for above 1700 years, with the effects that followed them. By W. Wilson, student in the mathematicks.

The heavens survey'd, and the true system of the universe delineated, so as to form a curious astronomical instrument: Exhibiting the number, order, periods, aphelions, perihelions, nodes, &c. of all the primary planets by inspection: together with an easy and expeditions method of ascertaining by the same instrument, and a new set of tables, their anomalies, longitudes, latitudes, retrogradations, conjunctions, elongations, and distances at all times, both heliocentric and geocentric; that is, as seen from the Sun and from the Earth; and also from one antoher. In the course of the work is met with a view of the system from the Earth, elucidating and explaining the true causes of the directions and retrogradations of the planets; and of the various phases they exhibit to us here: with the reasons of the transits of Venus and Mercury over the Sun; the times when they happen;----and an easy method of delineating the tracts those planets take in passing over his disk.-----Also, the remarkable path which the planet Mars seemed to describe in the heavens in the year 1762. The whole adapted to the new style; constructed in a manner so easy and natural, as to convey to the astronomical learner a perfect knowledge of the solar system at first view. Addressed to the youth of Great Britain and Ireland. By the Reverend Mr. Turner, late of Magdalen Hall, Oxford; author of the view of the heavens;------view of the Earth;------trigonometry rendered easy and familiar;-----system of gauging;----chronologer perpetual;-and a new introduction to book-keeping. Rector of comberton; vicar of Elmley; minister of Norton, and chaplain to the Right Honourable the Countess Dowager of Wigton.
