(Abridgements) vol.4 (1694–1702) pp. 60 at 65: Halley concluded his 1695 article on middle-eastern antiquities by writing: "And if any curious traveller ... would please to observe, with due care, the phases of the moon's eclipses at Bagdat, Aleppo and Alexandria, thereby to determine their longitudes, they could not do the science of astronomy a greater service: for in and near these places were made all the observations by which the mean motions of the sun and moon are limited: and I could then pronounce in what proportion the moon's motion does accelerate; which that it does, I think I can demonstrate." But it was left to Richard Dunthorne actually to make the first quantitative assessment of the Moon's apparent acceleration.
