 In 1783 the position of this star is stated by Sir W. Herschel 

 to have been 75° 36*' nf. It will remain to be decided by 

 future measures whether the difference, 4° 9', between this and 

 the present angle, arise from a real very slow change in the 

 stars themselves, or from error of observation. (H.)
