The notes
* Canis Minor. (Ashmand’s note, 1822)
* “Of the fixed stars in general,” Whalley says, “those of the greatest magnitude are the most efficacious; and those in, or near, the ecliptic, more powerful than those more remote from it. They with north latitude and declination affect us most. They in the zenith, influence more than others, more remote. Likewise such as are in partile conjunction with, or in the antiscions of any planet, or which rise and set, or culminate with any planet, or are beheld by any planet, have an increase of power: but of themselves the fixed stars emit no rays.” (a note, p. 31)
