If we find among these di(ant groups or jystenu of stir.s. the same equal description ol anas, and the ratio of periodical times, we

conclude that the stars ol eacii system at

tract one another,1 that the force by which thev arc attracted varies inversely as the

square of the distance, and is, therefore, sim

ilar to gravity : and lastly, that motion is there governed by the same laws as here. Now we do find this to be the case. The motions of double stari have been very accurately observed, among others, by Sir J. Herschel; and hc has ascertained that their motion is sub

ject to these laws. He has accurately deter

mined their periodic time, the axes majores,

and eccentricities of eight of them; and in ev

ery respect does he find the relations which

exist between the planetory Motions, to ob

tain among the bodies which compose these

far remote s stems. What then, is the con
