	Gentleman's Magazine 1742 p.319 SIR, I Observe in your MAGAZINE a vast Incongruity in the Observations made of the late Comet: I have therefore sent you the following Sketch (according to my Judgment) deduced from four Observations I made of it here; which is not designed to contradict what the learned Philomaths have been pleased to communicate to the Publick, but only to be better informed myself: The Observations I made were from the several fix'd Stars mentioned in the Scheme, which if you please to insert in your next Magazine will be gratefully acknowledged by Sir, your humble Servant, unknown. Stroud near Rochester, May 24. 1742. J. BULMAN. N.B. The Distance of the Comet from the Pole Star on the 14th at 9h. 30 min. P.M. I observed to be 5 deg. 45 min. nearly; its Tail was then plainly to be seen, but most conspicuous to the naked Eye when Reflection was observed in Water, as it was in a large Mill-pond at this Place. The above was composed for last Month but could not then be inserted.
