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.

A dissertation on the magnitude of the year: containing an historical account of time, from the earliest ages down to the present; The Method practised by the Ancients, for ascertaining the true Measure and Magnitude of the Year, explained; and the Result of their Calculations compared, from a Table of the Magnitudes of the Years, Siderial as well as Tropical, calculated by the most eminent Astronomers, both ancient and modern; the Instruments used by the Ancients, for that Purpose, explained; and the Errors incurred by Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory's Method clearly pointed out. Also, a method laid down, from the true Magnitude of the Year, given in Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds, to adapt the calculation of time to common use, in such a Manner, that there will neither be gained nor lost, on true Time, one Second, to the latest Ages; which is clearly demonstrated from the sunplest Principles.

New and correct tables of the lunar motions, according to the Newtonian theory: as it is truly freed from all errors of the press. Which Tables are demonstratively prov'd to be true, by a sufficient Number of Observations, of the most Eminent Astronomers of this and the last Age, viz. Tycho Brahe, Longomontanus, Heveljus, Ricciolus, Bullialdus, Cassini, De la Hire, Dr. Halley, Mr. Flamsteed, Mr. Haynes, &c.
