........ Bengalee ***** Fuslee (Bengal account) 4th month of 1026 AUXILIARY TABLE FOR FINDING THE TIME OF SUN- The time of Sunrise and Sunset in the British Almanac' is adapted to the parallel of latitude in which London is situated-viz. 51° 30'. .... ... .......... Correspondence 1258 ....... Abbreviations. Beng, Sen. Fusl. Collam. Cycl. Brih. THE following table has been constructed to show the variations of time through the United Kingdom-namely, between the latitude of 580 and 50° 10' N. The times of sun-rising and sun-setting are computed for the instant that the sun's centre is even with the horizon of the sea. The number of minutes found in this table under the month-day, and in the required latitude, are to be applied to the time of sun-rising and setting found on that day in the Almanac; the result will be the time of his rising and setting at the place required.-Ex. At what time will the sun rise and set on May 21 at Edinburgh? The time of sunrise and sunset on that day in the Almanac is 4h. 3m. A.M., and 7h. 51m. P.M. In the tables in parallel of 560, in which Edinburgh is found, and under May 21, are 23 minutes; which, subtracted from 4h. 3m., leaves 3h. 40m. for time of sunrise; and, added to 7h. 51m., gives 8h. 14m. for time of sun-setting. The places which follow the different parallels are situate within 15 miles of latitude, either north or south of it. Lat.

For example:-On the 4th of January, the afternoon High Water at London Bridge is 3h. 21m.; the High Water at Dover Harbour is 2h. 56m. earlier; subtract, according to the direction, 2h. 56m. from 3h. 21m., and the time of High Water at Dover Harbour on that day will be found to be at Oh. 25m. in the afternoon. |
