Extract
I observed the eclipse from a hill about a mile to the north of Göteborg, situated in latitude 57° 43' 5”, longitude 0h 47m 49s, in company with Mr Edward Lane, Advocate, who kindly rendered me his valuable assistance in making the observations for time. The telescope I used was furnished by Mr Adie of Edinburgh. It has a good object-glass, with an aperture of 2·1 inches, and about 31·5 inches focal length; and the eye-piece employed in observing the eclipse magnified about 28 times.
