erected a New and convenient School at the end of the other Besides these publick Benefactions and Endowments there have been several other sums of Moneys and annual Revenues left and bequeathed to the Poor of the said Town by several Persons who are thereby with the Charity of the present Inhabitants competently provided for without starving at home or being forced to seek relief abroad Let us do Justice to the Memory of the generous William Hulme of Broadstone Esq who has nobly added to the Benefactions of the publick School four Exhibitions The Scholars are to be Batchellours of Arts in the College of Brazen-Nose in Oxford these are to be elected by the Wardens of Manchester the Rector of Bury and Parson of Prestwich then Living they are at present of value betwixt Twenty and Thirty Pounds per Annum each but after the Death of his Lady will advance to near Sixty Pounds a piece Yearly and these they are to hold till they have commenced Masters of Arts and I do believe they will then be the best Exhibitions in that University The Town gives Title to an Honourable Family Henry Mountague being Created Earl of Mancester by King Charles I. Ann. Dom. 1625. which Honour is now possessed by Edward his Grand Child third Earl of the said Family This account was given me by my honour'd Friend the Reverend and Learned Dr. Wroe the Present Warden of the Collegiate Church at Manchester within which Church are inscriptions of some Eminent Persons At Maclesfield in Cheshire was a College Founded by Thomas Savage first Bishop of London and afterwards Arch-Bishop of York in which several of that noble Family the Savages are buried as also of the Family of Dunham which from Hammon de Massy By the Fittans and Venables came Hereditarily to the famous Family of Booth After these Learned and Charitable Personages let us rank others Eminent for natural discoveries of which these Countries have not been altogether Barren The World owes a great many Obligations to the great industry and Knowledge of Richard Townley of Townley Esq which will be the best understood by a recital of his own Experiments and Performances His Letter to Dr. Croon touching the invention of dividing a Foot into many thousand Parts for Mathematical purposes is as follows Finding in one of the last Philosophical Transactions how much M. Auzont esteems his invention of dividing a Foot into near 30000 parts and taking thereby Angles to very great exactness I am told I shall be looked upon as a great wronger of our Nation shou'd I not let the World know that out of some scatter'd Papers and Letters that formerly came to my hands of a Gentleman of these parts one Mr. Gascoigne found out that before the late Civil Wars he had not only devised an instrument of as great a Power as M. Auzonts but had also for some Years made use of it not only for taking the Diameters of the Planets and distances upon Land But had farther endeavour'd out of its Preciseness to gather many certainties in the Heavens amongst which I shall only mention one viz. the finding the Moon 's distance from two Observations of her Horizontal and Meridional Diameters which I rather mention because the French Astronomer esteems himself the first that took any such notice as thereby to settle the Moon 's Parallax For our Country-Man fully consider'd it before and imparted it to an acquaintance of his who thereupon proposed to him the difficulties that would arise upon the Calculation with considerations upon the strange Niceties necessary to give him a certainty of what he desired The very instrument he made I have now by me and others more perfected by him which doubtless he wou'd have Infinitely mended had he not been slain unfortunately in his late Majesty's Service He had a Treatise of Opticks ready for the Press but though I have used my utmost endeavour to retrieve it yet I have in that point been totally unsuccessful But some loose Papers and Letters I have particularly about this instrument for taking of Angles which was far from perfect Nevertheless I find it so far to exceed all others that I have used my endeavours to make it exact and easily tractable which above a Years since I effected to my own desire by the help of an Ingenious and and exact Watch-Maker in these parts since which time I have not altogether neglected it but employed it particularly in taking the distances as occasion served of the Circum-Jovialists towards a perfect setling their motion I shall only say of it that it is small not exceeding in weight nor much in bigness an ordinary Pocket-Watch exactly marking above 40000 Divisions in a Foot by the help of two Indexes the one shewing Hundreds of Divisions the other Divisions of the Hundred Every last Division in my small one containing 1 10 of an Inch and that so precisely as I use it there goes above 91 22 Divisions to a second Yet I have taken Land Angles several times to one Division though for the reason mentioned by M. Auzont it be very hard to come to that exactness in the Heavens viz. the swift motions of the Planets Yet to remedy that fault I have devised a rest in which I find no small advantage and not a little pleasing those Persons who have seen it being so easy to be made and by the observer managed without the help of another which second convenience my yet nameless instrument hath in great perfection and is by reason of its smallness and shape easily applicable to any Telescope Sir if you think this invention thus improved worthy to be take notice of by the Curious you may command a more perfect description of it or any of the observations either Mr. Gascoigne or my Self have made with it A Description of the Instrument referring to the CVT. THE 1 2 3. Figures do represent the several Parts of this Instruments the 4th Figure part of the Telescope with the Instrument apply'd to it and the 5th the rest on which the whole reposeth The first Figure represents the Box with the whole Instrument excepting only the movable Cover and the Screws by which it is fixed to the Telescope In this Figure aaaa is a small oblong brass Box serving both to contain the Screws and also to make all the several moveable parts of the Instrument to move very true smooth and in a simple direct motion To one end hereof is Screwed on a round Plate of brass bbbb about 3 inches over the extreme Limb of whose outside is divided into 100 equal parts and number'd by 10 20 30 c. Through the middle of this Plate and the middle of the Box aaa is placed a very Curiously wrought Screw about the bigness of a Goose Quill and of the length of the Box the Head of which is by a fixed Ring or Shoulder on the inside and a small springing Plate dd on the outside so adapted to the Plate
