s of Stars discoverable by the _Telescope_, and the variety of their magnitudes: 78. Stars distinguisht in the _Pleiades_: that there are degrees of bigness even in the Stars accounted of the same magnitude: the longer the Glasses are, and the bigger apertures they will indure, the more fit they are for these discoveries: that 'tis probable, longer Glasses would yet make greater discoveries. 5. Stars discover'd in the _Galaxie_ of _Orion_'s Sword._ Observ. 60. Of the Moon. _A description of a Vale in the Moon; what call'd by _Hevelius_ and _Ricciolus_, and how describ'd by them: with what substances the hills of the Moon may be cover'd. A description of the pits of the Moon, and a conjecture at their cause: two Experiments that make it probable, that of the surface of boyl'd Alabaster dust seeming the most likely to be resembled by eruptions of vapours out of the body of the Moon: that Earthquakes seem to be generated much the same way, and their effects seem very similar. An Argument that there may be such variations in the Moon, because greater have been observ'd in the Sun: because substance of the Moon and Earth seem much alike: and because 'tis probable the Moon has a gravitating principle: this is argued from several particulars. The reason why several pits are one within another. The use that may be made of this Instance of a gravity in the Moon._ * * * * * [1] _Schem._ 2. _Fig._ 1. [2] Diop. ch. 10. Sec 9.
