Changes that happen to the fixed Stars. 193 
In Cygnus are 81 stars. 47 not observed; 21 agree; 13 
disagree. 
In Delphinus are 18 stars. 11 are not observed ; 3 agree, 
and 4 disagree. 
In Equuleus are 10 stars. 5 are not observed ; 3 agree, and 
2 disagree. 
In Hercules are 113 stars. 10 are not observed ; 34 agree, 
and 49 disagree. 
In Pegasus are 89 stars. 22 are not observed ; 37 agree, 
and 30 disagree. 
In Sagitta are 18 stars. 3 are not observed ; 13 agree, and 
2 disagree. 
To this may be added, that the disagreement in several stars 
is so considerable as to amount to two magnitudes ; in many 
to one and an half, and in still more to one magnitude : not 
only with stars of a small size, but with some of the brightest 
in the constellation. I do not include a Cygni, which is 
marked 2m in the catalogue, and in the observation 7m, as 
that must certainly be a mistake ; but cannot help regretting 
that a work to which every astronomer has been taught to 
look up as the first authority, should have been sent to the 
press with so many errors, that we hardly know how far to 
give our confidence to what is laid down in it.
