A new treatise of astronomy, or astronomy opened: being a rational and mathematic enquiry into the true principles and nature of astronomy, or frame of our solar system. Wherein Divers and weighty Reasons will be offered, to shew that the present-received System cannot possibly be the True one. Also a New System will be humbly proposed, for the Examination of the Learned, whereby all the Coelestial Phoenomena will be much more naturally explained, and accounted for, than by the present System, and without that oblique and unnatural Motion of the Earth our Astronomers are obliged to suppose. By Samuel Bamfield, Teacher of Mathematics, at Honiton, Devon

An introduction to astronomy
by which the knowledge of the solar system is rendered extremely easy to youth, and those who have not studied Mathematics: containing the history and original authors of that most valuable science, with a brief description of the sun and all the planets, which constitute the Solar System, and of many beautiful Phenomena therein, as seen from different parts thereof. And also the nature o comets, (which of late are found to be Planets) and the immense Distance of the fixed Stars. All which are more particularly demonstrated by the author's copper-plate print, on a large Sheet of Imperial, price 5s. Sold by him and most of the mathematicians and printsellers in London
