that space of time-whcb IS upwards
of 1910 miles in an hour, or IL miles
IN one mluuie, Vast as this may seem,
and in comparison of which the utmost
degree of velocity which r1an has beeu
able to produce, by the most ingenious
contri, anccs, sinks almost INTO nothing;
yet when pot INTO competition with the
amazing velocity of the Earth in It's or

Though indeed asionishingly great Is
comparatively trifling & Insignificant
The distance of the sun from the
earth is l95, 600 COO miles; which be

Astonishing as this fact Is. yet wheh
