Abstract
The transit of Mercury was to happen a few days after my arrival at this place from England. Although I brought no astronomical instruments with me, I wished to observe this phænomenon; and upon application to M. Thysbaert, Président du College Royal , a very distinguished Member of this University, he supplied me, in the politest manner, with the following instruments, and a convenient place for the observation. He carried his attention to the most trifling circumstances, in order to make my situation, in every respect, agreeable.
