more numerous, than we might naturally, expert 
in proportion to the fmaller liars, if they did not 
compole a part of the fame fyftem with our- 
felves, See. 
Behdes the brighter liars, it is probable there are 
many of thofe of the fmaller magnitudes alfo, that 
belong to the fame fyliem with the Sun. Now, if 
this fhould be the cafe, many of them being only 
fainter upon account of their lefs real magnitude, we 
may liand the fame chance of finding a parallax 
amongft fome of thefe, as amongft the brigheft ones, 
provided we pitch upon fuch as happen to belong to 
our own fyftem : to dired us with lome probability 
to thefe, we have the circumftances above-mentioned 
of their compofmg larger conftellations, and their 
having few liars lying very near to them 3 and perhaps 
there may be ftill a little more reafon to fufped, that 
thofe liars form a part of the fame fyftem with our- 
felves, where, belides thefe circumftances, there have 
been obferved changes of brightnefs, Sec. amongft 
feveral of them in the fame neighbourhood, fuch for 
inftance as the changes, which have been obferved 
amongft feveral of the liars in the conftellations of 
the Swan, Caftiopeia, See. We may, I think, alfo 
venture to add to thefe moft of thofe liars, that are 
of a redder hue than the reft, as it is probable that 
they are a good deal bigger, in proportion to their 
brightnefs, than the whiter liars [fee the laft note.
