Gentleman's Magazine vol.7 p.121, 1737:-
SIR,
York, Feb. 21, 1736.
THE Eclipse being now past, I thought proper to acquaint you with what Observations I had made thereon. The Day was here very favourable, and I cast the Species of the Sun on a Sheet of Paper (whereon I had drawn several Circles to different Radii) thro' a two-foot Telescope: The Eclipse began in the lower Limb of the Sun towards the West at
20 m.
The date should be February 1737.
