ONEIROLOGY; Or, ihe science ef Joreteliing future events hy Dreams. ■^ ABUSE, To dream that you are abused and insulted, is a certain sign that some dispute will happen be- tween you and some person with whom you have business ; therefore, alter such a dream, you should be particularly careful of yourself and be as gentle and mild as possible, that you may not give those with whom you have dealings any ad- vantage over you— if you areinlove, be assured that some one has atteoipted to injure you with the object of ) our alTectious, and that they have in a great measure succeedefi — you should, there- fore, after such a dream, be particularly com- plaisant and atteutire ; by this means you will eradicate the unfavorable impressions that have been made against you— if you have a law-suit, keep a sharp look out alter your attorney, for such a dream in that case denotes, that he is en- deavouring to sell your cau&e — avoid, after such a dream, taking a journey by land, or a voyage by Fea, for eight and forty hours, because such a dream forebodes accidents by travelling. To dream of the commission of this sin, fore- bodes great troubles and misfortunes — if you are in lore, you will certainly fail in marrying the object of your wishes — if you have a law-Riit, it •will certainly go against you, by the treachery of those who prettnd to be your frie:sds — if you are in business some hea\y Iofs will happen to yoU. Such a dream announces that you are in great danger of losing your liberty— and if you are about to take a voyage by Fea, omit it for the present, for you will never reach the destined port. To dre-^m you were tempted to commit tins crime, and that you resisted it, is an happy omen — every thing will flourish with you- — be sure it is a good time to begin trade after such a dream — if you have a law-suit all will go in your favor, with credit to yourself and confusion to your opponents — if you are about to take a long journey, it will be pleasant and successful to your object— if you are going to sea, you will have an agreeable voyage, fine weather, ?.nd a quick ar- rival at the port of destination— if you are ii> love, press the object of your wishes for they will be gratified. ABEL. To dream of this second son of Adam, the victim of his brother's vengeance and jealousy, and the first man that stained the eatrh with his blood, is a favorable omen, portends future ele- vation and ^r indeur — if you have a \3i^^ -suit, it will terminate in your favor — if you are in love, the mistress of your heart will be kind and faith- ful — if you are about to commence trade, your business will thrive, and you will become rich— if you are a farmer, be sure of good crops the ensuing season — ^if you are about to undertake a journey, it will be prosperous to you ; in short, expect to rise to honours, dignity, and aifluence^ observe one thing, that should he speak to you in your dream, you should be very careful to mind what he says, as otherwise you may mar all ypur good fortune, and reverse every benefit that fortune has in store for you, ABRAHAM* To dream of this patriarch is favorable to the person who dreams ; it in general denotes accumulation of riches and of honours; in a woman, it denotes, that she will have many children; if you are in love, it denotes you will have many rivals; if you have a law-suit, it. forebodes that many difficulties will occur — if you are in business, then it portends a great in- crease of your business, and that you will ertiploy many hands to conduct it ; you must also be very observant of what he says to you, for he will perhaps inform you how to avoid some mis^ fortune, or how to attain to riches and honors, A 2 6 "^^c-^.- ' ADAM. To dream you see this fatlier cf maa, this ia- habitant of Paradise, who was betrayed by Eve into sin, is an happy omeo ; if he looks pleasant be sure you will succeed in whatever you under- take — ^ifyou are in love, expect your mistress to smile on your Icve, and to reward your con^ stancy— ifyou have a law-suit, expect it to be given mucii in your favor by the judj>;e— if you are a farmer, expect an abundant crop, and that your pigs, poultry, and cattle, will increase very fast, and be of a good kind, and fetch the best price at market — if you are about fo quit jour native place, abandon the idea, for depend gome benefit is in store for you in the place where you had birth — if you have already quit- ted it, I would advise you, ifyou can, to return, for there lies your forume and prosperity ; do not undertake journies unless absohitely neces- sary, for although they will be successful, yet you will still be more fortunate by resting at home — if he looks displeased and angry, then you must use ^reat caution in all your dealings, for some mischief is intended you, but you will get the better of it ; but on no account under- take a voyas:e by sea, neither borrow nor lend moGey, for at least a month or two, because, if you do, you will lose what you lend and what you borrow will bring you into trouble ; be care- ful, if he speaks to you, to mind what he says, and observe it as faithfully as you possibly can. ADVERSARY. To dream you meet witJi an adversary de- notes that you will overcome some obstacle to your happiness— if you are a lover, you will conquer some powerful rival, and be happy in your love; it also denotes, that your affairs are going on well — if } ou arc soliciting? a place, it portends you are about to get it ; if you are in trade, it forebodes sendee good orders, and an increase of business ; if you quarrel, and he over- comes you, it is a good sign, for you will con- quer all obstacles to your promotion, happiness, and fortune; but if you conquer him, then it denotes that you will never rise to any great pre- ferment by the means you are at present adopting ; that many things will miscarry with you, but in general you will be fortunate— should he draw b!3od of you, you will surely lose your liberty for a time, but will afterwards be flourishing and happy. ACaUAINTANCE. To dream you quarrel or fight with an ac- quaintance is an unlucky omen; it forebodes a divisioQ among your own family, much to the injury and prejudice of the dreamer — if you are in love, your mistress will prove unfaithful, and marry some other man that she has told you she most hates — if you are in business, some heavy loss will befall you; you will disagree with some of your best friends on the most trivial matters, which will end in an open rupture; if you are a farmer, expect a bad crop, the murrain among your cattle : that your pigs and poultry will fail, and not fetch good prices — if you have a law-suit, depend, that your attorney will neglect you, that your witnesses will be tardy and back- ward, and that finally you will lose your cause. Do not for some time undertake a journey by land, or a voyage by sea : enter for the present into no new urKleriakiag, for you will be uu» sncccsgfiil ; quit, if you can, your present plac^ 8 of residence ; and above all, avoid lendino: mo- ney, for you will surely lose it, together with the friendship of those to whom you lend it. AGUE. To dream you have an ague, denotes nothing very particular, more than you are in danger of becoming a drunkard and a glutton. If you have any relation or friend that h ill, it denotes they will recover. And if you have a law-suit, that it will be settled in your favor. If you are in love, it forewarns you, that if you do not immediately marry you will lose your n^istress. If you dream another has an ague, then it de- notes a variety of fortune, that you will some- times be rich, and sometimes poor; that you trill have much trouble, lose your liberty, and die before you are fifty. To dream your sweet- heart has an ague, is a lucky omen, it shews you are beloved, and that you w ill be happy with the object of your wishes, but never very rich. AIR. To dream of the atmosphere, has a variety of interpretations, and depends entirely on the dif- ferent appearances it has. If you dream the sky is clear, of a fine blue, calm and serene, then it is a good omen ; you will be successful in your enterprises; if you are soliciting any place or preferment, you will surely obtain it — -if you are in love, you will surely marry the object of your afiections— have you a law^-suit ? you will gain it — are you in trade ? it will flourish and be profitable — are you a farmer? good crops will attend you, your cattle will increase, your pigs and poultry will be abundant, your com- niodiiieswill fetch a good price at market; are you married? yen will have many children, and they Tvill be dutiful and do well. Are you about to undertake a journey ? it will answer your utmost expectations ; are you ^oino^ to sea ? you will have a pleasant and piosperous voyage; are you in debt? you will speedily be enabled to extricate yourself from it ; are you inpri^07l? you will shortly be set at liberty; are you going into business ? you will succeed, and have nu^ny friends; are you in poverty ? riches will quickly drive away its remembrance ; have you a quarrel ? it will soon be made up to your advantage; in short, whatever point you aim at, it will be crowned with success. To dream it is streaked with white, denotes that many severe difficulties will befall you, over which you will eventually triumph ; you will perhaps go to jail, but you will come out again shortly with honor and credit to yourself; it forbodes that many enemies will attack you both openly and secretly, that they will appear to have the advantage over you for a time, but in the end they will be routed and overcome by you ; your children will get into troubles, out of which you will extricate them ; if you are in love, many crosses will happen to you, and for a time you will appear to lose the affections of your sweetheart, but in the end you will marry and be happy, and have fin€ children; if you have a law^-suit, you will have much trouble and vexation, but you will gain it after all ; if you are in business, many difficulties will occur, which friends will remove, and you will at last be prosperous ; if you go to sea, you w ill be cast away, but get safe ashore, and be fa- vorably received by the inhabitants of the coun- try; if you borrow money, you will be much slandered and abused by the person who lends 10 it to you; if you lend money, you will have great trouble in recovering it ; it portends, that you will have a light illness, but your health, will be much better afterwards, | To dream that it is full of thick, dark, and ' heavy clouds, is an unfavorable token; you will fall sick and perhaps die; dis^^appointments will attend your business ; if you are in love, you will not marry the person you intended ; if you have a law-suit jou will lose it; if you go to sea you will have bad weather, meet with storms and shipwreck, and lose all your, property ; you will lose some friend, or near relation by death; many friends will desert you ; yqu will grow melancholy, and every thing will cross your ex- pectations; therefore, after such a dream you should change your situation, be what it may. To dream that the sky is streaked with red, and looks fiery, denotes, that in love you will be successful ; in business not so; it biso fore- w^arns you that some friend or relation will be killed in battle, and that sickness will attend your family; if you have a son he will get into many difficulties, and narrowly escape losing his life; a journey by land will injure your health and pocket, but a voyage by sea will be prosperous, and conducive to your health — if you are in prison, you will remain there some- time — if you owe ^ny money, I advise you to pay it immediateljr, otherwise it will bring you into trouble — whatever you lend you will loose; but if you have any hopes of getting a place, you will, after some trouble, succeed, and it will turn out lucrative — it also dei otes that the Dext woman you meet, not of your own fami- ly, will be your enerpy and endeaypuv to cjo 11 ^oU an injury ; this you may prevent by being very civil and obliging to her, which will allay her resentments against you — if you are a farm- er you will have but indifferent crops, and will lose some of your horses by sickness or acci- dent — if your father and you are at variance, depend it will be speedily made up, and that he will befriend you; but be very cautious of quarrelling, for you will have the worst of it — you will get some small matter by legacy, but it will not do you much good. ALTAR. To dream you are at the altar and receiving the holy sacrament, is a very unfavourable omen and denotes many heavy and severe afflictions, and that you will be very unsuccessful in your pursuits, and have much trouble in overcoming your difficulties. If you are in love, your sweet- heart will die before you marry, or else be re- moved very far from you forever — if you are in business, heavy losses will attend you, and you will with great difficulty keep from going to pri- son — you will lose m«ny friends by death— sick- ness will come upon you and your family, and your children will be undutiful and turn out bad. ANCHOR. To dream of this emblem of hope, denotes some good to the dreamer ; it forebodes many unexpected successes. If you are in love, it irarns you to be assi^luous and attentive to obtain the object of your wishes, otherwise your passion will cot meet with success — if you are in trade, then it forebodes success at a distant prriod, after you had n^^arly given over all expectation of do- ing well ; expect shortly to see some friend who has been at sea, and that he has escaped some 12 perilous situation— it forebodes, that lawsuits will attend you, in which you will not gain much, al- though you will not be much injured by tliem — beware of gome friend who pretends you more than ordinary attachment, he ivill deceive you, and endeavour though vainly to harm you; yoaj will have many children, chiefly girls, and the third bora will be the best ofF in this world* ANGELS. To dream you see angels in your sleep^isa^ sure sign that some one is near you — therefore be mindful of the rest of your dream, for it will csme to pass pretty accurately ; should you only dream you see nothing but an angel, or angels, then it denotes health, prosperity, and much hap- pi^sess, with many children, who will all turn out good. If a woman with child dreams ofthem, she will have a good time and perhaps twins — \{ you are in love, nothing can be more favourable, and ail your undertakings will prosper, and be advantageous to you, ANGER. To dream that you are in a passion and angry with any one, denotes you have many enemies, and that some evil design is formed against your happiness and security — if you arein love, be sure that some dangerous rival is slandering you to your sweetheart — if you are at law with any one, depend that secret attempts are making to sell your cau&e ; if you are in business look carefu'ly after your servants, for you are forewarned that they are about to plunder you, and do you an in- jury ; be careful whom you trust, for some swind- ler will attempt to defraud you, and without great care on your part will be successful. Tf you are going a journey, avoid travelling by night or aloiie 13 iQ bye places; for such a dream denotes, you Avill be robbed and ill treated — if you dream you see another in a passion uith you, it is rather more favorable, but still forebodes some very unpleasant misfortunes about to happen to you ; if you are in love, your s^veetheart will fall sick and expe- rience some heavy loss. If ycu are in business some creditors v;ill become very troublesome to you, and perhaps arrest you ; if you have a law- suit, you -will find great difficulty in getting money to carry it on ; if you are going to sea, storms will arise, and you will have a very dangerous passage ; if you journey by land, you will fall sick en the road and be unsuccessful in what you are about. ANTS. To dream of these industrious little insects, hath a variety of interpretations, and depends up- on the manner in which you dream of them ; if you see them running about, it denotes that you Will be a great loser by some plan that you will undertake for gain, and that you will be consid- erably the sufferer by an avaricious disposition ; if you are ia love, too geat a regard to the dower of your intended wife will breakoif the match ; if you are going to sea with mx^rchand'ze, you will be taken in when you most expect to make a good bargain. If you have a lawsuit, you will lose it, although circumstances may appear much in your favour. In short, some speculation by which you expect to make much money, will go very near to ruin you. If you dream you see them busily em- ployed laying in their winter stores, it is a good omen — things will prosper with you ; if you un- dertake a journey, it will turn out well ; if you are in love, your love v, ill be crowned with success ; 14 if you are in business, your affairs mil prospesv and you will grow rich, get many friends, and ar- rive at considerable honors in the state ; if you are a farmer, plentiful crops of corn will gild your fields ; your hay harvest will be abundant ; your cattle will multiply; your sows will have large litters ; your hens will hatch many chickens | your poultry in general will incrrase very fast and yo.ur commodities will fetch the best price at market. If you go to sea, you will get money by it; if you are married, you will have an aff^c- tionate wife and many children, with am- ple means of supporting them ; in short, your concerns will prosper, and you will be very happy. If they appear to be devoured by other animals, and oiherwise injured and trodden upon, then it is a bad omen; secret enemies^ are compassing your ruin ; some bosom friend will deceive you ; your sweetheart will be un- kind and perhaps unfaithful ; your business will be unproductive, bad crops will attend your cul- tivation, and your commodities will not fetch a good price at market. If you go to sea, misfor- tunes will attend your voyage ; if you have a law- suit, you w ill surely lose it by tl^e perfidy of some pretended friend ; if you journey by lend, you will be attacked by robbers, and robbed of whatever you have 5 if they are entirely destroy- ed, you will get into prison, your busines will fail ; if ycu are in love, your sweetheart wil! not reward your passion; if you are a faroier, your cattle will die of the murrain, and your cropr. he unproductive; if you go to sea, you wiii be cast away sod lose your all; if you expect a place you will be disappointed ; and if you are in a good phcc, yon ivili kiuely lose it ; sickness will 15 attack you, your thread of life will be cut shorty yourchilclreD will die, and your wife become un- faithful 5 in short, the most dibmal reverse will happen to you, and disaster attend all your attempts ; if you dream of these insects when you are sick, you must expect to recover very slowly, and to be a long time before you are able to work. APES. To dream of these mischievous animals, fore- bodes no good ; they are a certain sign of wick- ed and secret enemies, who will seek by many devices to injure you, be therefore upon your guard, for some one who pretends to be your friend, is about to deceive you, and you are very near losing your liberty; after such a dream a change of place is adviseable ; if you are in love, do not attempt to m?irry your then sweet- heart, for he or she will prove unfaithful, and in- volve you ia much trouble ; if you have a law- suit with any one, make it up as soon as you can, otherwise it will injure you greatly : if you are in busiaess, be extremely circumspect in your transactions, for danger is near; you will lose some friends by the malicious persecution of a pretended friend of your own, APPAREL. Nothing more demonstrates the events that are about to happen to you, than dreaming of wear- ing apparel ; but almost every colour has a differ- ent interpretation, and must depend on its ap- pearing new or old, its fitting you, or being too big or too little. We shall here explain them ac- cording to their different significations. To dream you are dressed m white, is a sure token of success in the first object you undertake, 16 and that you will be successful in love, and that your sweetheart is of good temper and amiable dispositioa. To dream you are dressed in ^reeih denotes that you are about to take a journey to your ad- vantage, and that your sweetheart .prefers you to all other lovers. To dream you are dressed in blacky is an un- lucky omen; some quarrel is about happen be- tween you and a friend or a relation ; sickness is about to attend you raid your family; death will deprive you of some near friend or* relation ; law- suits w^ill perplex and harrass you ; if you un- dertake a jourrsey, it will be unsuccessful, «fld contribute much to injure your health and for- tune. If you are in love, it denotes that your sweetheart is very unhappy and that sickness will attend her ; if you are a farmer, you will be cheated by some knave, and your crops will turn out indiiferent, the murrain will attack your cat- tle, and some dreadful accident will happen by the overturning of one of your waggons : if you are in bnsiness, some one will arrest you, and you will have great difficulty in settling the mat- ter. To dream you are dressed in blue^ denotes happiness ; you will shortly be invited to some banquet or merrymakiog, when you will make some friends and be very happy, if you only avoid quarreling, to which som.e enemy to your ivelfare will excite you. Your sw'eetheart is by this colour denoted to be very faithful to you, and will make you very happy ^nd comfortable, you will have many children chiefly boys, who w ill turn out honest and good ; if you are in tradCj you will prosper. 17 If you dreatn you are dressed in scarlet, you are thereby warned of some very heavy calamily, aud «a severe fit of illness ; your sweetheart is by it announced to you to be of a turbulent disposition, much inclined to dispute about trifles, and liable to make you very unhgppy— your children will be but ?hort lived and of very unhappy tempers much inclined lo be very sickly — it surely denotes a quarrel aud the loss of friends. To dream you are dressed in t/cUgw, is rather lucky than otherwise, but your sweetheart by it appears to be very jealous of you, and great pains will be requisite to prevent your separating ; if you are married, keep a good lookout, for some one is about to alienate the affections of your partner ; in trade, it promises prosperity, but Fome one will cheat you out of a tritle not of much consequence. If you are a farmer, you Trill have an abundant crop; if you undertake a voyage by sea, you w^ill be greatly the gainer by it; and if you e?v'pect any place or preferment, after mucli trouble you v. ill attain it. To dream you are dressed in crimson^ desotes that the dreamer will live to a sood old age, and be neither very fortunate or unfortunate through life ; you are about to experience some very plea- sant news from a distant quarter, and from those you thought dead; your sweetheart will be obli- ged to leave you for a time, but will continue faithful to you : if you are in trade you will ex- perience gome lo?s by a person you had great con- fidence in, but you will nearly at the same time, get a job that will amply make you amends; it denotes a snial! dispute between a landlord and his tenant, whicli will be settled amicably to the advantnge of the latter, b2 18 To flream you are dressed in a variety of col- mirs, denotes a variety of fortu;ies is about to at- tend you ; old friends will desert you, new ones %viii supply their place; if you are in love, a quarrel will take place between you and your sweetheart, which will, after much uneasiness to both parties, be adjusted by friends ; be cautious in what you do for some lime, for many traps will be laid to ensnare you, but on no account trust yourself on the water; your relations will short- ly die, and if you have any children, sickness will attend them ; if ycu are cick at the time of the dream, it denotes a happy and speedy recovery. To dream you are fashionably drest, and in good company, is very good for the dreamer; he will rise considerably above his present condition ; your sweetheart will prefer you above others, and be very good tempered; v/hatever you under- take will have a prosperous issue, and some un- expected news of an agreeable nature will reach you ; expect to see a long absent friend return in very good circumstances; but avoid having a dispute with any one, for it v/ill %o against yon, and do much harm, particularly if it be with your sweetheart. To dream you are dressed sliabbi- ly, tliat your clothes are rf.g«ed and torn, is a very bad omen. If you are in love, it denotes you will never marry the person io whom you are attached; some heavy and asHicting loss is about to attend you; you will surely ^o to jail, unless you take extraordinary care; if you are married, you will quarrel with your spouse, and much do- mestic strife will ensue ; if you go to sea, ycu will be cast away, and in ^reat dan^-er of starving; if you are in business, you will be robbed of a considerable quantity of goods; aad the next par- 19 eel of goods you purchase you will lose by ; if you are a farmer, beware what compaiiT you keep when you ;^o to markc^t, for sharpers will lay wait for you, and endeavour to cheat you ^ ifitishay time, look well to your hay ricks, for such a dream denotes that a rick will take fire, and be burnt to rubbish ; some quarrel will en- sue between you and a friend, which will end to your disadvantage. To dream your clothes fit you well, and are comfortable to the season of the year, is favorable and denotes succes? — if you are in love, you will be speedily married — if you are married you will soon have a child, most likely a boy, if it is, he will be a great scholar, and be advanced to great dignities in the state. To dream your clothes do not fit you, and that they are not suitable to the season, denotes the death of some friend, and a loss by iire — if you are in love, the person who is your lover is not the one intended to marry you — it also denotes the place you live in is not calculated for your prosperity and happiness, and is a warning for you to quit it — if you have children, some one of them will shortly be in great aSliction ; if they are grown up, one of them is near losing its liber- ty ; if they are young, then expect sickness to afflict one of them severely. To dream ycu see another dressed in any of the modes above described, forbodes to the per- son dreamt of, the same fortunes, and in a much smaller degjree, the same events to yourself. To dream you are dressed in new^ clothes, is a very favorable omen, it portends honours and suc- cess to vour undertakinsff . you may expect also to see some lona: absent friend, and to receive a 20 small legacy, or some debt which you had given up ; it is a most certam prognostic of marriage, and portends a very favorable reception with your lover — if you journey by land or by sea, it will be pleasant and profitable | it forebodes many children, who will make you happy; and if you have quarrelled with any one, it warns you that you should now attempt to make up the breach, because the parties are favorably inclined towards you.

AVe shall remark to our readers, that it is of much im- portance to be particular in ascertaining the^exact situa- tion of the Moles, its form, whether it be round, angular or oblong ; also its size and color, because these variations add or diminish the degree of those qualities and events which our author^s explanation has attached to each ; for example, if the mole be perfectly round, then it de- notes much good fortune, if of an angular form, a mix* ture of good and bad fortune, if oblong, then a moderate portion of good, a kind of happy medium ; the deeper the color the more powerful will be either the good or bad fortune indicated ; the lighter in color either will be in a less degree ; as our author has uniformly spoken of a me- diate color neither dark nor light; if it be very hairy, it denotes inany misfortunes, but not so if only a few long hairs grow upon it, for then it shews prosperity in your undertakings: again, the larger the mole is, the more serious will be either the prosperity or adversity predict- ed ; and the smaller it is, the less of either will fall to your share ; our author has taken the middling size. Persons who wish to avail themselves fully of our au- thor's information, should not suffer an overstrained bash- fulness to prevent their obtaining accurate information with respect to the situation, size, form and color ; es- pecially as in women a mole is frequently so situated in those recesses which modesty conceals from view, as not to admit of being discovered but by another ; and yet to have a mole so placed is the most fortunate for them. I CHARTOLOGY. Or^ the science of foreiellino; eunts by canUtossing. AS many of those events about to happen may be easily, gathered frQ^n the cards, we have here affixed the definition which each card in the pack bears separately; by the combining; them the reader must judge for himself^ observing the following direction, in laying them out^ ^irst, the person whose fortune is to be told, if a man,, must chuse one of the four kings to represent himself — if a woman, she must select one of the queens, then the queen of the chosen king, or the king of the chosen queen,, will stand for the husband or wife, mistress or lover of the party whose fortune is to be told, and the knave o£ the suit for the most intimate person df their family ; you must then shufle and cut the cards well, and let the per- son ivhosfB fortune is to be ascertained, cut them three times, shewing the bottom card ; this must be rer f^nted three times; then shutRe them again, let them becut onee^ and display them on rows on a table, taking care alwHyg to have an odd number in each row, nine is the right Biumber, and to place your cards exactly under ( ach, other, after this consult the situation in which thf person stands by the definition we have here annexed toecah rarjS^ and after having repeated it three times, form your con- clusion, remember that every thing is within your circle^ as far as you can count thirteen nny way from th* card that represents the person, his wife, or her husband, and their intimate friend ; and also that the thirteenth card every way is of the greatest consequence; either the whole pack, or only the picquet cards may be used. Another mode with the picquet cards is to shuffle and cut them, take three cards from the top ; if there be two of a suit, takeout the highest card, if three*, take all; when you have gone through the pack ; shuffle and cut the remainder, and do as before, and repeat the same a third time, then take a general view of all the cardr? ilrawn, and next couple them, a top and and a bottom card, then shuffle and cut them into three heaps, laying; one apart in the first round to form a fourth heap ; the first heap at the l^ft hand relates to yoursel-f entirely, the next to your family ; the third is the confirmation of tho former two ; yoii must proceed a second and third time. adding ev.zh time one to the single card, and '];en thve^- 99 single car^s ji;iven the connection of tlie operation ; ob- serve you must ailil the card which represents the per- son whose fortune is eonsulletl to tiie three, itit be not there ah-eady.
