This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: March 20, 1862. Major-General SABINE, President, in the Chair. The following communication was read: ? " Suggestions for the Attainment of a Systematic Representation of the Physical Aspect of the Moon." By John Phillips, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S., Reader in Geology in the University of Oxford. Received January 15, 1862. I. Sketch Of The Progress Of Selenography. (a) By Eye-draughit and Micrometry. 1. Beginning with the labours of Hevelius (1647), maps of the moon, embracing the whole, and signalizing special parts, have been repeated by Riccioli (1651), Cassini (1680), Lalande (1787), T. Meyer (1748), Lambert-Schroter (1791), Lohrmann (1824), Beer and Madler (1836). 2. The degree in which these laborious efforts may be regarded as meeting the wants of " Selenography," is about equal to that in which the maps of England of the last century satisfy the requirements of physical geography; and in the same proportion as the great one- inch Ordnance Map of 1862 is superior to the old Chart of 1800, so should be the new drawings of the features of the moon to the older delineations. 3. That such drawings are attainable by the patient employment of modem instruments, in hands capable of good sketching, is, I believe, not doubted by any competent observer with either achromatic or reflecting telescopes having equatorial mounting. If any one doubts, let him compare the Copernicus of Madler with the Copernicus of Secchi; nay, I may venture to ask that my own Gassendi be placed side by side with that of any of the charts already named. 4. The results likely to be attained by such a series of careful drawings of special parts of the moon's surface, in one branch of scientific research, are recognized by Mr. Conybeare in his Report on Geology to the British Association in 1832....<
