The British Nautical Almanac was first published by Nevil Maskelyne, the Astronomer Royal, in 1766 for the year 1767 and the chief table in it was of lunar distances, which were tabulated at intervals of three hours to the nearest second of arc. On the bicentenary of its publication the theory and practice of lunar distance observation and reduction were reviewed in this Journal.
