First appearance of Maskelyne's paper constituting the ""first convincing experimental demonstration of the universality of gravitation"" (DSB), in the sense that it operates not only between the bodies of the solar system but also between the elements of matter of which each body is composed.""In a famous experiment of 1774 Maskelyne attempted to determine the earth's density from measurements of the deviation of a plumb line produced by the gravitational attraction of Mt. Schiehallion, in Scotland. By observing the slight difference in the zenith distances of certain stars at two observing stations on the north and south faces of the mountain, and making due allowance for the effect of their latitude difference by means of geodetic measurements, Maskelyne identified the residual displacement of 11.7"" with the sum of the deviations in the direction of the vertical to the earth's surface on each side of this conveniently symmetrical mountain."" (DSB).
