346 Mr. Herschei/s and Mr. South's observations of the apparent

The supposed motion of the small star is not verified. If 
the observations of 1804 and 1823 be correct, that of 1781 
cannot be so ; and vice versa, if the latter be correct, a great 
error must exist in one or both of the others. The mea- 
sures are of the utmost difficulty. Our observations were 
each made without the others knowledge, and neither ob- 
server thought the slightest confidence could be placed in 
his measures, it being even uncertain whether the small star 
had really been seen at all, or in lieu of it some optical 
illusion. The agreement of the results with different in- 
struments however is a great proof of their reality.
