Abstract
Sir, I have taken the liberty to send you my observations on the transit of Venus, as likewise those made for ascertaining the going of the clock; all which I should have done last June, when I sent the times of the contacts, to the end that they might, if you thought them worthy, have been communicated to the Royal Society through your hands; but, waiting for an opportunity of using your transit-instrument, in order to ascertain the longitude of Windsor, which you was so obliging to lend me for that purpose, prevented; and am sorry still to say, that I have not once been able to make use of it, on account of the badness of the weather at the several times I took it down with me for that purpose.
