The result of this table is, that the apparatus (probably the 

 pillar to which the microscopes are fastened) was not quite 

 unchangeable ; for which reason the places of the pole, for 

 those clays not contained in the table, have been determined

 reflection of the pole-star showed the distance of the reflected 

 from the true pole = 257= 2' 43", 13, after the reduction of 

 the vessel containing the quicksilver (assumed at 5 feet 4 inches 

 below the centre of the instrument) to the instrument. The 

 results of the other stars are contained in the followino- table :
