Then, in all the towns and localities given above, of which the greater part are of some importance, the local time coincides so closely with times differing from the Greenwich time, by whole multiples of 10 minutes, that there is no reason to fear any real inconvenience if these times were taken to regulate local reckonings. If the different countries in Europe should decide to adopt the system which I have explained, the following system of normal times would, perhaps, be found convenient: EAST OF GREENWICH. 1st Meridian, France. 2d " Holland and Belgium. 3d " Switzerland. 4th " Norway, (and Western Germany.) 5th " Denmark, Germany, and Italy. 6th " Sweden and Austria. 7th " Eastern Germany. 8th " Hungary. 9th " Poland and Greece. 10th " Finland, Roumania, and Bulgaria, 11th " European Turkey. 12th " Western Russia. WEST OF GREENWICH. 1st Meridian, Spain. 3d " Portugal. It is, however, not at all necessary that each country should adopt a single civil time for the whole of its territory. If several normal times should be adopted, it is still possible to use the system, provided only the several times differ from Greenwich time by 10 minutes, 20 minutes, &c.; but it would be necessary that the clocks should indicate the times adopted with great precision, and that the difference did not amount to even a few seconds, because otherwise the advantages of the adoption of the system would be materially reduced.
