VIII. A delineation of the transit of Venus expected in the year 1769

My Lord, I beg leave to present to the Royal Society a delineation of the transit of venus in the year 1769 [Tab. I.] which will be a much better transit for discovering the Sun's parallax than that in 1761 was. Although I have only mentioned Wardhuys in Norwegian Lapland, and the Solomon isles in the great South Sea, as proper places for observing the transit; yet I am sensible, that any other place near the north cape will be just as well for the northern observers; and Tuberon's Isle, or St. Bernard's, or the Fly Islands, in the great South Sea, will answer as well for the Southern.
