Another double star of the 4th class (7th and 15th magnitudes) follows it ; but 

 the small star is so extremely faint, that it is unmeasurable to-night, perhaps in 

 consequence of the moisture precipitated on the object-glass, which exceeds any 

 thing I have as yet witnessed.

 No observations of distance can be procured ; one half of the object-glass is ren- 

 dered useless, by the interference of the transverse timber which connects the east 

 and west sides of the observatory.
