This extraordinary pheanomenom was of that species of meteor which the great phisiologist Dr Woodward and others call the Draco Volans or Flying Dragon. The above view was taken at Winthorpe near Neward upon Trent by Henry Robinson, Schoolmaster, and published by him as the act directs 14th October 1783. Framed and glazed.
