Several stars observed by the ancients 
are now no more to be seen, but are de- 
stroyed ; and new ones have appeared 
which were unknown to the ancients. Seme 
of them have also disappeared for some 
time, and again become visible. We are 
also assured from the observations of astro- 
nomers, that some stars have been observed 
which never were seen before, and for a 
certain time they have distinguished them- 
selves by their superlative lustre ; but after- 
wards decreasing, they vanished by degrees, 
and were no more to be observed. One of 
these stars being first seen and observed by 
Hipparchus, tbe chief of the ancient astrono- 
mers, set him upon composing a catalogue 
ot die fixed scars, that by it posterity might 
learn whether any of the stars perish, and 
others are produced afresh. After several 
ages, another new star appeared to Tvcho 
Biahe and the astronomers who were con- 
temporary with him ; which put him on 
the same design with Hipparchus, namely, 
the making a catalogue of the fixed stars.
