Another double star of the 4th class (7th and 15th magnitudes) follows it; but 
the small star is so extremely faint, that it is unmeasurable to-night, perhaps in 
consequence of the moisture precipitated on the object-glass, which exceeds any 
thing I have as yet witnessed.

No observations of distance can be procured; one half of the object-glass is ren- 
dered useless, by the interference of the transverse timber which connects the east 
and west sides of the observatory.
