A Plain Method of Determining the Parallax of Venus, by Her Transit over the Sun is a book written by James Ferguson in 1761. The book explains the method used to determine the parallax of Venus, which is the apparent shift in the position of an object when viewed from different locations. The book documents the transit of Venus over the sun, which is a rare astronomical event that occurs once every 243 years. The book provides a detailed description of the method used to calculate the parallax of Venus, which involves observing the planet from different locations on Earth and measuring the time it takes for Venus to cross the sun's disk. The book also includes illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the process. This book is a valuable resource for astronomers and anyone interested in the history of astronomy and scientific discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
