I found Cambridge examinations online:
1871/2 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.d0003528130&seq=7
1872/3 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.d0003528148&seq=7
I am not sure whether this is accessible to everyone, or I have access through my university. Probably for everyone, since it did not ask me any password.
Their search is poor. I tried "Lunar", "Longitude", "Kelvin", it returns some items but not the one we are looking for.
