In jufice to the foregoing calculations I fhould add, that the 
refult of them muf be conliderably affeCted by any fmall alte- 
ration in the meafures upon which they are founded ; the gene- 
ral theory, however, will certainly Hand good, and a greater 
perfection in particulars could not have been obtained, unlefs I 
had waited fome years, at leaf, in order to multiply good ob- 
fervations. But with objects that are out of the reach of com- 
mon telefcopes, and which therefore cannot be much attended 
’to, even by our mof affiduous af ronomers, a general theory 
will perhaps nearly anfwer all the ends that may be required 
of it. 
The meafures of the dif ances were taken by a good parallel- 
wire micrometer, contrived fo that one of the wires, which is 
moveable, can pafs over the other ; by which means central 
meafures may be obtained with more accuracy than by allowing
