A Treatise of Eclipses of the Sun and Moon by Charles Leadbetter - 1731

This book calculated the circumstances of solar and lunar eclipses for the years 1715 through 1749. It also calculates the transits of Mercury and Venus, as well as the conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn through the year 1821. These calculations are all done for astrological prognostications. The split between astronomy and astrology happened much later in England and its colonies than in Europe.
