SUMMARY:
The first page has a month-by-month list, from July 1778 to July 1779, of the stars observed with their magnitude. 17 blank pages follow, then the observations: these are observations of named stars, with multiple readings to obtain a mean time for transit. They start at Frampton House in July 1778 and end at York in July 1785. In handwriting of Nathaniel Pigott.
