Abstract
MANCHESTER. Literary and Philosophical Society, October 5.—Mr. Francis Jones, president, in the chair.—A new binary progression of the planetary distances, and on the mutability of the solar system: Dr. H. Wilde. In his table of planetary orbits the author has adopted the radius vector of Mercury as the unit to which the other planetary distances should be referred, the terrestrial unit being a survival of the geocentric system of the universe. The change in the unit of distance has revealed a new binary progression of the planetary distances nearer the observations than that of Bode's law.
