    The nature and construction of a solar eclipse explained and exemplified in that which will happen on April 1st, A.D. 1764 : Containing, I. The geometrical construction of a general eclipse of the sun, exhibiting its phases and affections, by scale and compasses. II. The same by trigonometrical calculation. III. The construction and phases of a solar eclipse for any particular place, exemplified for the city of London. IV. Of the form and dimensions of the moon's dark shadow on the Earth's surface considered not as a sphere but as a spheroid. V. The method of exhibiting all the phases of a solar eclipse in the best manner, by a reflecting telescope, in a room not darkened. By Benjamin Martin.

    Two essays on the nature and wonderful properties of Island Crystal : Essay I. Containing, all that has been hitherto delivered in regard to its form, dimensions, and double refraction of light; with the addition of several new experiments with polished parallelopipeds and prisms made of this substance, which discover a various, multiple, and colorific refraction; and exhibit a variety of images of one and the same object. To which is subjoined, a computation of the magnifying power of reflecting telescopes; and a table thereof, from 6 inches to 12 feet in length. The whole illustrated with copper plate figures. By Benjamin Martin.

    Institutions of astronomical calculations : Containing, I. A new set of Solar tables for computing the sun's true place, by Mr. Tobias Mayer, who verified every element thereof by his own observations. II. A new set of lunar tables, calculated from the Theory of Universal Gravitation, of an intire new form, and the most commodious for astronomical calculations, and verified by 200 observations; from the second quarto edition at Paris, 1765, by the Late celebrated Mr. Clairaut, fellow of the Royal Academies of Sciences of Paris, London, Petersbourg, Berlin, Bologne, and Upsal. III. A general exposition or rationale of the nature, construction, and use of astronomical tables, and of the precepts of calculation in solar and lunar eclipses, with the doctrine of shadows, and their delineation on the surface of the Earth, considered both as a sphere and a spheroid; a work intirely new, illustrated with three large copper plates. Vol. III. Part I. By Benjamin Martin.

    An essay on visual glasses : (Vulgarly called spectacles) wherein it is shewn, from the principles of optics, and the nature of the eye, that the common structure of those glasses is contrary to the rules of art, to the nature of things, &c. and very prejudicial to the eyes; the nature of vision in the eye explained, and glasses of a new construction proposed. The whole illustrated by a large copper-plate print. By B. Martin.
