Stars very steady, but the small one will bear no illumination. Observed on the 
meridian; the distance, I fear, may be liable to an error of two or three seconds. 
Night fine.

There appears to have taken place a change of no less 
than + 5 ° 2i ; in the angle of position of this star since 1782, 
which for a star of the 5th class is considerable ; unless 
indeed from the extreme minuteness of the small star, errors 
of observation to a larger amount than usual be supposed. (H.)
