AS IT AFFECTS

The several Members of the Human Body, from its various Positions in the Zodiac;

ACCORDING TO ANCIENT AND MODERN ASTROLOGY.

'Twas once the fashion, though it is not now,

If pains your face, or megrims plagued your head,
T' inspect the Moon-thus Medicus knew how,
If she sojourn'd in ARIES, they were bred.
And if from TAURUS came the lunar force,
(According to the high-learn'd ancients' notes)
Quinseys, and Mumps, and such like, were, in course,
Expected to attack necks, jaws, and throats.
Whene'er rheumatic pains, or any aches,

Tormented shoulders, elbows, wrists, or hands;
They first examine for their patients' sakes,
Whether in GEMINI the Moon commands.
If stomachs suffer'd, 'twas in CANCER's trop-
Ical estate the orb was deem'd to reign:
Qualms then defying th' apothecary's shop-
Then Doctors nose their walking-sticks in vain.
And, eke, in vain the faculty put on

Their looks of wisdom, when the Moon attacks

From LEO, as it ever and anon,

Does mortal livers, lights, milts, hearts, and backs.

At all times, then, when Doctors you consult,

Consult this Almanack---observing whether,

If belly-gripes assail, they don't result

From VIRGO and the Moon being hous'd together.

Or, if Lumbago do your kidneys rack,

'Tis ten to one but you'll find out the cause,

By the last columns of this Almanack--

See, on those days, if LIBRA deal Moon-laws.
When SCORPIO spits his deadly venom at her,
The Moon to Earth emits it---then attention
Much is claim'd, lest aught should be the matter,
With certain parts which I forbear to mention.
To doubt the Moon's effects sure no one ventures---
Then, Gentlemen and Ladies, I advise,
That you, when SAGITTARIUS she enters,
Do vigilantly mind your hips and thighs.
The hale, though heedless of advice, may soon,
In spite of scoffs, be limping with the healing:
For CAPRICORNUS, leaguing with the Moon,
Makes knees and hams both feel a grievous feeling.
In lunacy, 'tis wise to ascertain

Those periods when Moon-virulence most rankles:
And, as some aspects much affect the brain,

So does AQUARIUS try the legs and ancles.

Oft in their judgments will the halt be out,
When meek-fac'd Luna into PISCES goes:

Ev'n blooming nymphs may take it for the gout,
If Moon sprites only trample on their toes.

Herein the Aspects of the Heavens learn ;
And, of the Times, the mystic Signs discern.

The Authentic and Entelligible

ALMANACK;

Or, Annual Abstract of Celestial Lore. Calculated, from the Era of Human Redemption, for the Year

1822:

THE SECOND AFTER LEAP YEAR;
And the Third of the Reign of His Majesty GEORGE IV.

WHICH, BESIDES REGISTERING AND EXPLAINING

THE PERIODICAL PHENOMENA OF THE HEAVENS, AND THE OMINOUS TENDENCY OF

Particular Configurations of the Planets, Contains Salutary Precepts and Comments on the same: With Prognostications of the Weather throughout the whole Year; Including also, besides all the Useful Tables and Memorandums of the Common Almanacks. Original Tubles of the Geocentric Motions of the Old and New Planets,

WITH ALL THE MOST REQUISITE COMPUTATIONS FOR MARINERS,

AND

A VERY CURIOUS SYNOPSIS OF THE VISIONS OF ST. JOHN, RECORDED IN THE REVELATION. To all which is prefixed

4 Most Singular and Interesting Epistle concerning the Scripture Prophecies, and their Relation to the Current Times, in which a Remarkable Vision of the Prophet Daniel, relating to the Turkish Empire, is minutely examined, and its Application to the Greek Insurrection satisfactorily shown:

The whole being calculated to prepare Mankind for

The Coming of Christ's Kingdom on Earth.

FROM THE MANUSCRIPT OF

SIR WILLON LILLY BRACHM, K.T.R. HUMANIST.

"What Sign shall there be ?"-CHRIST'S ANSWER,

"And there shall be signs in the Sun, and in the Moon, and in the Stars; and upon the Earth distress "of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear; and for

looking after those things which are coming on the Earth."- St. Luke's Gospel, xxi. v. 25, 26,

BALDWIN, CRADOCK & JOY; AND SUTTABY, EVANCE & FOX;
AND SOLD BY EVERY BOOKSELLER IN ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.

IN the East, West, and South points of the Mariner's Compass Card, a miniature representation of some Mathematical or Astronomical Instrument is introduced, the North Cardinal being filled up with the common Index of that point, namely, the Fleur de Lis. -The four intermediate octant points contain each an emblem of that season which accords with the apparent place of the Sun in his progress from Solstice to Solstice, at the times of his passing those points.-The other eight intersecting points contain each a planetary symbol; and the remaining sixteen subdivisions are uniformly filled up in a plain manner. Thus it will be observed, that each class of points, according to their consequence, is designated and diversified, so as to be readily recognised.

The central part of the Compass Card, within the points, contains, (besides the small space at the centre,) four concentric circular spaces, each divided into twelve equal parts. -The outermost of these spaces includes, in its twelve divisions, miniature sketches of the twelve signs of the Zodiac; and the next interior twelve spaces contain the twelve common symbols used to denote the Zodiacal constellations, by a comparison of the figures of which, with those of the originals in the spaces above them, a certain resemblance may be traced, that will serve to explain the figure of each of the common symbols.Proceeding towards the centre, the next twelve spaces exhibit twelve numbers, that

under each symbol being the number of the sign it represents, according to the order in which the twelve signs are put down in the Almanack Tables, and in all other Astronomical Computations.-The twelve divisions of the fourth central space show the day of each month, on which the Sun enters that particular sign of the Zodiac, which appears in the corresponding division of the exterior circles.-And lastly, The small space at the centre, contains the date of the year, for which the Almanack is calculated.

In each corner of the square described, about the outermost circle of the Compass Card, certain celestial and terrestrial phenomena are represented; namely, First, The Sun darkened-Secondly, the Lunar Crescent, with an Halo, and Shooting_Star-Thirdly, A Comet-and Fourthly, A Burning Mountain.

The part of the design already described is surmounted by a rectangular figure, within which is faintly traced an Ellipse, to represent the Orbit of the Earth; and four small projections of a sphere are inserted, in order to show the position of the Earth's Axis with respect to the Sun, or the Plane of the Ecliptic, at each Equinox and Solstice; and thus, to represent the manner in which the radiation from the centre is received by different parts of the surface of the Earth, at the four different seasons.

Explanation of the Back Cover.

THE LUNAR WEATHER DIAL.

THE two Tables of Hours, each divided into two twelves by the Meridian Line, are intended one to be used during the Winter Season, and the other during the Summer, the former being inscribed in the Rectangle, and the latter in the Ellipse; and those hours which proceed from noon to midnight in each, with those which proceed from midnight to noon, are inscribed in two Labels, one on

To each set of hours is attached twelve small Labels in crescent figures, each of which extends over two hours, and expresses what kind of weather commonly attends those phases of the Moon that happen within the particular hours over which they each respectively extend.

The Device beneath is intended to represent a storm, with ominous birds and reptiles; and on the side of the rock which exhibits the Title of the Dial, is the "Crypta Arcana

PROPHETIC ALMANACK.

The First Epistle

OF

FATIDICORAMUS;

TOUCHING,

DESPISING OF PROPHESYINGS:
QUENCHING THE SPIRIT:

THE NATURE OF DISCIPLESHIP:
VISITATIONS NOW IMPENDING:
REVEALED SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
DANIEL'S SECOND VISION:

ITS RELATION TO THE YEAR 1822:
THE CRITICAL POSTURE OF THE WORLD:
HOW TO ESCAPE PERILS DENOUNCED:
AND SO ON.

Greeting my much esteemed Godson, I WRITE because I am persuaded that you are intent on doing good; and because my aid may, perchance, promote your important designs. The daily occupations and cares of this life so burthen the minds of those not born to affluence, that they cannot, even if duly educated, sift for themselves the truths of revelation; and it would be a dereliction of duty not to guide them to a knowledge of things future as far as we can. But I am moreover deeply concerned to notice that the temporary pastimes and fascinations of this world do so dizzy the heads of the wealthy, as to almost extinguish in their hearts those spiritual flames which the prospect of a permanent heritage ought to kindle and keep alive. Prophecy, that best fuel of pure devotion, has, think, of late, been insidiously suppressed and doubly smothered. The sphere of my observation is sufficiently wide for me to discover that the buz of the overweening Rabbi is, "Better let prophecy alone;" whilst the indevout caviller, on the other hand, is blasphemously crying "I don't believe." Thus, betwixt the timidity of the one, and the presumption of the other, I am fearing that the multitude has lulled itself into a disregard of certain terrible visitations which the ancient oracles of reli

gion assure us must be inflicted; and (taking it for granted that those oracles hear the signet of divine truth) so surely as they stand recorded, so surely will all the judgments preordained, sooner or later, my good cousin, be executed.

Proofs enough of the near approach of that day which shall change the present economy of the moral world, are, to those who "look up," conspicuous. Seems it not then an unfathomable problem, (but I wish my fear may be ungrounded, and the reality be otherwise than as I apprehend,) that all the nations of Christendom should, unanimously as it were, have forgotten that the whole universe is sentenced to undergo a certain doom, which, sudden "as the lightning that lighteneth out of one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven," shall come and overspread it?*

Prophecy seems to me one of the most special marks of divine favour: and why I think so is, because I believe that man would

hardly have been convinced of the validity of the New Testament, and of the glorious conditions of that durable inheritance it bequeaths, but for the extraordinary and irresistible evidences that were beforehand opened to him. I wish to be plainly understood * Luke xvii. 24.
