Throughout the foregoing argument assumes that the difference in apparent magnitudes of stars is due mainly to the difference of the distances to them. This assumption is based the doctrine of the usual foggy spots, and in all our previous analysis we have left it intact. Between however, even at a time when it was first put forward by sir W. Herschel, it it was a purely arbitrary assumption; at present, it is finally untenable. But, unfortunately, as the truth of his and false is equal to undermine the conclusions of those who argue, as Humboldt. Consider both cases.
