The solar tables of ibn Yunis and of King Alfonso, those of Kepler, of G. D. and J.-J. Cassini, and of Lalande are compared with Newcomb's theory of the sun to determine the deceleration of the earth's rotation. Comparisons of mean motion and of longitude lead to separate determinations. A value for the deceleration, (5.0 + or - 2.7) x 10 to the -10/yr, assumed to be independent of time is obtained for the period - 146 through 1892. This result is based on the assumption that Newcomb's theory converts the earth's orbital motion into a perfect clock, and the result is independent of lunar and tidal theory. The deceleration seems greater than that obtained from the literature for the tidal deceleration caused by the moon.
