that the nearest to us is Alpha Centauri.

is about fourth on the list in order OF

fifteen or twenty stars whose distances

three or four, lie at distances too great
to DO measured by any instru.

omers agree in fixing the dis

twenty-five million of millions OF miles;
and it is certain that the distance OF
Sirius is more than three and less than

likely about Ave times; so that we are
probably not far from the truth IL we set
