c17.9

The book entitled *L'Art de vérifier les Dates* gives (1) all lunar eclipses and (2) all solar eclipses visible anywhere in the civilized world known to history, marking, by a series of ingenious conventions, the path of each solar eclipse, the regions where it is visible and the latitudes where it is central (*a*) under the fifth meridian, *i.e.*, the meridian of Paris, (*b*) under the meridian where it is noon at the moment of true conjunction, and (*c*) under the 155th meridian. Other useful details, given under each eclipse, in the same valuable work, need not be reproduced here, as nothing short of a translation of the whole Chapter on Eclipses would give the reader an adequate idea of its contents.
