The volume concludes with what, indeed, forms two thirds of the 

 whole, viz. the mean Right Ascension and Declinati on, &c. of 3,000 

 stars — in addition to the 2,881 in vol. 2d — which must strike every-

 Our astronomical friend Juggarow informs us that " he has entered 

 into a rough calculation, and ascertained the number of figures used in 

 the computations to be above five millions !" By these, and other ob- 

 servations, of a similar nature, now in progress, Mr. Taylor expects to 

 be able to settle the question regarding the motion in space of the 

 Solar system.
