' In 1783 the position is stated to have been 56° 30' sp, and 

 the distance 2 7". 50. An error of observation to the extent 

 of 5° 14' is too much to be supposed in a star of the 4th class, 

 and it is therefore pretty clear that this star is liable to a 

 slovr change ; whether arising from orbitual motion in both, 

 or rectilinear in one of the two, future observations must 

 decide. (H.)
