## Summary

In the year 134 B.C., a temporary star blazed out in the constellation Scorpio. It was observed by a man of extraordinary genius, and furnished the incentive to one of his most memorable works. This was the construction, on essentially modern principles, of a catalogue of 1,080 stars. Hipparchus thus, with deliberation and singular prescience, furnished a standard by which future changes in the heavens might be detected. He was a native of Rhodes, but belonged to the school of Alexandria; and at Alexandria, after three centuries, he found an able and ambitious successor.
