Solar Cycle 3
Solar cycle 3 was the third solar cycle since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. The solar cycle lasted 9.3 years, beginning in June 1775 and ending in September 1784. The maximum smoothed sunspot number observed during the solar cycle was 264.3 (May 1778), and the starting minimum was 12.0.SIDC Monthly Smoothed Sunspot Number. William Herschel began observing sunspots during this period.

Solar Cycle 2
Solar cycle 2 was the second solar cycle since 1755, when extensive recording of sunspot activity began. The solar cycle lasted 9 years, beginning in June 1766 and ending in June 1775. The maximum smoothed sunspot number observed during the solar cycle was 193.0 (September 1769), and the starting minimum was 18.6.SIDC Monthly Smoothed Sunspot Number. Sunspot observations by Alexander Wilson (astronomer), Alexander Wilson during this period established the Wilson effect.
