'ther thefe Nebulofa are particular Spaces of. Light;-, 
or rather, whether they may not, in all Probability,, 
be Chafms, or Openings into an immenfe Region of 
Light, beyond the Fix’d Stars. Becaufe I find in this 
Opinion molt of the Learned in all Ages (both Phi. 
lcsfophers, and I may add Divines too) thus far con- 
curred, that there was a Region beyond the Stars.. 
Thofethat imagined there were Cryjt alline, or Solid 
Or bs, thought a Coelum Empyrteum was beyond 
them and the Primum Mobile: and they, that 
maintained there were no fuch Orbs, but that the 
Heavenly Bodies floated in the AEther, imagined 
that the Starry Region was not the Bounds of the 
Univerfe, but that there was a Region beyond that, 
which they called the Third Region , and Third 
Heaven. 
To conclude thefe Remarks, it may be of ufe to take 
Notice, that in Hevelitis ' s Nebuloff, fome feem to 
be more large, and remarkable than others ; but 
whether they are really fo, or no, I confefs 1 have 
not had an Opportunity to fee, except that in Hndro- 
meda’s Girdle, which is as confiderable as any I have 
feen. In his Maps of the Conftellations, the molt 
remarkable are the three near the Eye of Capricorn j 
that in Hercules’s Foot ; that in the third Joint of 
Scorpio’s Tail ; and that between Scorpio’s Tail and 
the Bow of Sagittary . But if any one is defirous 
to have a good View of thefe, or any other of the 
'Njebuhfa , it is abfolutely neceflary that he fhould 
make ufe of very good Glafles, elfe all his Labour 
will be in vain, as I have found by Experience, and 
before-noted. . .
