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. By Charles Leadbetter, Teacher of the Mathematicks.

Institutions of astronomical calculations: Containing, I. A new set of Solar tables for computing the sun's true place, by Mr. Tobias Mayer, who verified every element thereof by his own observations. II. A new set of lunar tables, calculated from the Theory of Universal Gravitation, of an intire new form, and the most commodious for astronomical calculations, and verified by 200 observations; from the second quarto edition at Paris, 1765, by the Late celebrated Mr. Clairaut, fellow of the Royal Academies of Sciences of Paris, London, Petersbourg, Berlin, Bologne, and Upsal.
