    Scholium II was posted in George Huxtable's message. Scholium I is not
    posted anywhere. What I wrote was a quick summary of the main point of
    that Scholium in the Latin text as printed on page 27 in Maskelyne's
    edition of Mayer's Tabulae Motuum Solis et Lunae etc., London, 1770.
    Maskelyne translated the explanation for the tables, but unfortunately
    not the paper with the description of Mayer's instrument.
