| Description | Turner questions how it is possible that humans cannot perceive the earth orbiting the sun at 68092 miles per hour, and also questions how there is no perceptible variation in the distance of the North Polar Star from the earth given this movement. Includes one page of figures.
A manuscript note at bottom of title page reads 'Printed and executed by Mr Charles, No 1 Wellington Street, Strand 1822'. This title page is printed, but the subsequent pages are manuscript. It is unclear whether this inscription refers exclusively to the title page, or whether there was a small printing run of this paper as a pamphlet.
