The construction of the heavens can only be known when
we have the situation of each body defined by its three
dimensions. Of these three the ordinary catalogues give
but two, leaving the distance or profundity undetermined.

Star gauging gave rise to an investigation of the spaec-pen-

Finding that this might be calculated with reference to
the extent of the same power of which the unassisted
eye was capable, there always remained a desideratum of
some sure method by which this last might be ascertained.
