LOGIC.

BOOK I. ANALYSIS OF THOUGHT.

Chapter I. Common Ground.

§ 1. Those enourmous numbers which some popular writers on science are
wont to parade never particularly struck me, partly becuse a million
is a multitude which, though I unterstand, I cannot imagine; and I
disbelieve those writers' doing so. The stars visible in the sky make, I
guess, about as large a multitude as anybody can directly imagine.
Now the number of stars that can be seen with the naked eye at once, without such close
scrutiny as one can bestow only upon a very small of the heavens at a
time, is the average number of stars above the fifth magnitude that are
over 15° from the true horizon; and that number is a trifle less than 500.
