PREFACE. 
 
 A work of this kind may not be so amusing 
 to some individuals as a pleasing romance ; yet 
 it is hoped will prove to the Astronomical stu- 
 dent and learner, gratifying and instructive. At 
 the request of a select number of students, the 
 present laborious calculations were made, in 
 order to give others and themselves an opportu- 
 nity of more perfectly understanding the appa- 
 rent motions of the superior Planetary bodies 
 herein mentioned, together with an illustration of 
 the various phenomena the above planets present 
 to us, the observers on this Earth, caused by the 
 revolution of the planets and the earth, around 
 the Sun, as the centre and great point of attrac- 
 tion to the Solar System. I have given a correct 
 Table of the longitude and latitude of 144 fixed 
 stars, calculated up to 1836, which I hope will 
 be acceptable to the student ; as by observation

 when it is very clear the student will he nearly able 
 to trace the Ecliptic line at any hour of the 
 night, by allowing for latitudes. The diagram 
 in this work will shew the proportional distance 
 of each planet's orbit, from the Earth and Sun, 
 and also, that, the various Heliocentric aspects 
 of the Earth in its revolution round the Sun, 
 causes the Planets at one period to appear mov- 
 ing direct, then swifter in motion, then slower, 
 until stationary ; the next appearance is retrogra- 
 dation or an apparent motion backwards in the 
 degrees and signs, moving still faster back, then 
 appearing less swift to retrograde, until again 
 stationary, soon afterwards the Planets appear 
 direct, according to their real motions in the 
 signs, i. e. from West by South to East. The 
 Planets' places are calculated for 44 years to 
 come, for once a month, which will give the 
 student or learner a much better idea by peru- 
 sing the following pages of the motions of these 
 planets, than by telling him that ^ revolves 
 round the Sun in 84 years, Saturn in 29J years, 
 Jupiter less than 12 years, and Mars in 687 
 days, odd hours and minutes, &c. but by these

 tables he can notice how much swifter $ passes 
 through the signs in his orbit than the others ; 
 his orbit being so very near the Earth and Sun 
 when compared with the distances of % h or 
 y. The cubes of the Planets' distances from 
 the © in their orbit, being in exact proportion 
 to the squares of their periodic revolution. It 
 was originally intended in this work to have 
 given the geocentric places of the superior pla- 
 nets in degrees only, rejecting the overplus mi- 
 nutes if less than 30 — but that has been over- 
 ruled by the general opinion, that if the places 
 in this work differ a few minutes from the true 
 apparent places at one period, and be found 
 to agree with them at another, it will prove amus- 
 ing, and give a stimulus for observation. 
 
 
INTRODUCTION TO ASTRONOMY. 
 
 This Introduction is merely intended to con- 
 vey a sufficient idea to those who are not already 
 acquainted with the solar system, the propor- 
 tional distances of the Planets* orbits from the 
 Sun, and the Earth, together with the apparent 
 motions of the superior planets, as viewed from 
 this Earth, called their geocentric places or 
 motions. The path of the Planets or circles 
 which their orbits describe in the heavens, 
 is called the Zodiac. Suppose it a belt 20° 
 wide with the Ecliptic, orbit, or path of the 
 Earth in the centre thereof ; in as much as a 
 planet's orbit differs from the exact plane of the 
 Ecliptic, or orbit of the Earth, so much is the 
 planet's latitude in degrees and minutes ; the 
 points where these imaginary circles intersect the 
 Ecliptic, are called the nodes. The ascend- 
 ing node is that point which the planet enters 
 
i INTRODUCTION 
 
 for north latitude, the opposite is the descending 
 node for south latitude. The Zodiac is divided 
 into 12 Constellations, called signs, each sign 
 divided into 30 degrees, each degree into minutes 
 and seconds. Of course our readers are ac- 
 quainted with the 
 
 Astronomical symbols.

 According to the opinion of the ancients, the 
 constellations were formed in the heavens by the 
 fixed stars of various magnitudes ; I have given a 
 list of some of the principal stars of these con- 
 stellations in another part of this work, with a 
 table to calculate their motions and places for 
 past and future years. These stars appear to 
 
TO ASTRONOMY. 1 1 
 
 have a motion of 50g seconds forward in the 
 signs every year, caused by the Sun or Earth 
 being later every year by 50J seconds to the 
 conjunction of the same star, which is called 
 the procession of the Equinox. The fixed 
 stars are of various colours, some are observed 
 to be double, others triple stars, and to change 
 their magnitudes from the 1st and 2nd to the 
 3rd, 4th, or 5th, and some again become their 
 usual or former magnitude ; our limits are too 
 small to say much more about these constella- 
 tions and stars, it is but right to inform the 
 learner and student that these stars are at such 
 an immeasurable distance from the most remote 
 planet of the Solar system, that the whole dia- 
 meter of this Earth's orbit, ' 1 90 millions of miles,' 
 is like a speck, when compared to their distances 
 from us. Students will perceive when they 
 inspect the diagram, that the revolution of the 
 Earth in its orbit round the Sun, causes the Sun 
 to appear in the opposite sign, to the Heliocen- 
 tric place of the Earth; a little attention to the 
 plate will describe it. The Heliocentric place of a 
 Planet is the degree and sign of the Zodiac in 
 
12 TO ASTRONOMY. 
 
 which a planet appears when viewed from the 
 Sun. In October the Earth is in <Y\ but the 
 Sun at that time appears to us in the opposite 
 sign =£=. The Geocentric place of a planet is 
 that degree and sign of the Zodiac, in which a 
 planet appears when viewed from this Earth. 
 There is often a great difference between the 
 Geocentric and Heliocentric place, which entirely 
 depends upon the distances of the planets from 
 the Sun, and the aspects of this Earth in its 
 revolution which I shall hereafter describe. It 
 will be extremely useful to the young student 
 to learn plain mathematics and the use of Geo- 
 metry, it will direct him in this, and all his 
 studies on a much more certain foundation. 
 A student thus qualified will use his reasoning 
 powers, consequently when a science is learned 
 on these principles, it can never be forgotten, 
 whilst the said individual retains his intellectual 
 faculties. 1 have endeavoured to avoid the use 
 of technical terms as much as possible, for the 
 advantage of those who are not conversant there- 
 in. I have said before that the Earth, and all the 
 planets revolve round the Sun; each in the same 
 
TO ASTRONOMY. 13 
 
 direction, viz. from West by South to East, at 
 various distances, and in proportional periods 
 to the said distances ; hence, the nearer a pla- 
 net's orbit is to the Sun, the sooner will he 
 perform his revolution from a star, to the same 
 star or sign again. The more remote from the 
 Sun, the longer is that planet performing his 
 revolution. Those planets whose orbits lie 
 within the circle of the Earth's orbit are called 
 interior, or inferior planets, such as Venus or 
 Mercury, but all those planets whose orbit is 
 greater, and farther distant from the Sun, than 
 the Earth's, are called superior planets, of which 
 we shall speak presently. Heavenly bodies, 
 such as the Moon, which revolves round the 
 Earth, are called satellites; 6 are observed to 
 attend the planet Herschel, 7 to attend the 
 planet Saturn, with his wonderful ring ; and 4 
 are observed to attend the planet Jupiter, in the 
 same manner as the Moon revolves round this 
 Earth, and reflecting their light received from 
 the Sun on the dark places of those planets. 
 It has been observed that y 's moons move in 
 a contrary direction to all the planets and other

 satellites, and nearly at right angles to the plane 
 of his orbit, which is rather singular. We shall 
 say nothing about comets in this work, as we in- 
 tend merely to shew the reason why the supe- 
 rior planets appear re trograde, stationary, and 
 direct. In the first place, the further a planet's 
 orbit is distant from the Sun and Earth, the 
 less will be the difference in degrees and minutes 
 between his Geocentric place as viewed from the 
 Earth, and his Heliocentric place as viewed from 
 the Sun. Secondly, the nearer any planet's orbit 
 approximates to the Sun and Earth, the greater 
 will be the angle of difference between that pla- 
 net's Geocentric and Heliocentric place ; either 
 forward or backward in the degrees and signs 
 according to the Heliocentric position of the 
 Earth at the time, which is particularly illustrated 
 by the orbit of Mars. The diagram shews that 
 when Mars is at his mean distance from the Sun, 
 ' that is at that part of his orbit, which is 90 
 degrees from his Aphelion or Perihelion/ and 
 the Earth at the same time is making an heliocen- 
 tric aspect of 45° to or from the conjunction of 
 Mars, that planet appears 42° degrees distant 
 
TO ASTRONOMY. 15 
 
 from his Heliocentric or true place, in regard of 
 the Sun and signs ; which sum of 42° is about 
 Mars' greatest mean difference in that angle be- 
 fore mentioned. For instance, if the Earth hap- 
 pens to be in 20° of Aries, and Mars in 5° 
 of Gemini, then Mars will appear as viewed from 
 the Earth in about 1 6° of Cancer, but if the Earth 
 happened to be in 20° of Cancer, then would 
 Mars appear in about 2^ of Aries. Again, 
 when a planet is in its Perihelion, which is at 
 its nearest distance to the Sun, and aspected ac- 
 cording to the rules we have laid down, that 
 planet will shew his greatest angle of difference 
 between his Heliocentric and Geocentric place, 
 that can possibly occur, in the apparent motions 
 of the said planet ; but if in his Aphelion, then 
 he will appear to shew the least difference that can 
 occur in his longitude as above stated ; hence 
 Herschel differs in his Perihelion 3° 12', and in 
 his Aphelion nearly 2 C 51', making a difference 
 in the eccentricity of his orbit of about 21'. I? , 
 in his Perihelion differs about 6° 26', and in his 
 Aphelion about 5° 44', making a difference of 
 about 42 '. % } in his Perihelion differs about 
 
1 6 INTRODUCTION 
 
 1 1°52 / , and in his Aphelion about 10° 27', making 
 a difference in his eccentricity of about 1° 25'. 
 
 $, when in his Perihelion differs about 52°, but 
 in his Aphelion about 34°, making a difference 
 partly caused by the eccentricity of the orbit of 
 Mars, and the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, 
 producing the apparent differences above stated, 
 between the planet's Heliocentric and Geocentric 
 places or motions. Let us observe here that 
 any part of the above planet's orbits are subject 
 to the same proportional apparent differences, 
 produced according to the part or degree and 
 sign in which the planet is placed at the time, on 
 his orbit, and the Heliocentric aspect which such 
 planet receives from the position of the Earth. 
 For example, we shall take the nodes of the 
 planets and state their Heliocentric places calcu- 
 lated up to 1836: HerschePs &> n 13°; Saturn's 
 8,22° 2,15'; % &** ©45'; $ 9> 18° « 17'. 
 The figure (3) shews the point of the planet's 
 orbit which intersects the orbit of the Earth or 
 Ecliptic at A for north latitude ; B shows the 
 greatest north latitude, and c the point a planet 
 enters, (£$) called the descending node, in order 
 
TO ASTRONOMY. 17 
 
 to proceed in his south latitude; and when at 
 D, the planet shows his greatest south latitude. 
 If you add three signs, or 90 degrees to the place 
 of the ascending node above stated, you will 
 have the place of that planet's greatest north 
 latitude ; if you add the same number of degrees 
 to the descending, or take the opposite point of 
 the greatest north latitude, you will then have 
 the degree and minute of that planet's greatest 
 south latitude. The learner must be aware from 
 what we have already stated that those places 
 mentioned, viz. the ascending node, the greatest 
 north and south latitude, and the descending 
 node of any planet are all subject to the apparent 
 mutations which we have described to belong to 
 each of the planet's orbits. For instance, if Her- 
 schel happens to be on his node ; or in his 
 greatest point of latitude, and that the Earth is in 
 aspect about 88° at a mean to the 6 of Herschel, 
 that planet would appear to shew these places 
 mentioned, to be situated about 3° from their true 
 heliocentric places, before or after, backwards 
 or forwards, from the degrees and signs stated 
 above. The planet Saturn may, when aspected 
 b 2 
 
1 INTRODUCTION 
 
 by the Earth at 85 degrees distance, at a mean 
 from the conjunction of the planet in those places 
 the &, &c. appear 6 degrees from the heliocentric 
 places, backwards or forwards, in the signs, de- 
 grees or minutes distanced as above. Jupiter 
 likewise receiving the heliocentric aspect of 80° 
 at a mean from the Earth, is likely to exceed 1 1 
 backwards or forwards, from the above places, 
 just as the aspect may be, either dexter or si- 
 nister. Mars is the next planet to be spoken 
 of; when the Earth happens to aspect this pla- 
 net, (at any of those points described as & £9 , or 
 the point of greatest north or south latitude, or 
 any other heliocentric places,) or at the distance 
 from the conjunction of Mars of 45 degrees, at 
 a mean either applying to or past the conjunc- 
 tion at the proper aspected distance, Mars is 
 liable not to differ less than 34 degrees or more 
 than 52°, between his apparent, or geocentric 
 place, and the heliocentric places above described. 
 When the Earth applies with an heliocentric 
 aspect to or from the conjunction of the follow- 
 ing planets, these planets shew their greatest 
 angle of mean difference between their heliocen- 
 tric and geocentric longitude.

20 INTRODUCTION 
 
 It is proper to inform the student that although 
 the diagram, Fig. 1 , shews the orbit of the planets 
 at their mean distances as parts of circles, and 
 circles, supposing the sun as the centre of each 
 circle, in order to make the first idea of the 
 solar system more plain to the understanding ; 
 yet really the orbits of the planets belonging to 
 the solar system are elliptical. Having the sun 
 in one centre, nearer to one side of the conjugate 
 diameter, which is called the Perihelion, and 
 furthest from the other side of the conjugate 
 diameter is called the Aphelion. Those distances 
 on the transverse sides shew the mean distances 
 from the sun in that orbit, the small figure No. 
 2, will explain it more clearly, and the table of 
 Aphelions will inform the student in what part 
 of the zodiac these places and positions are 
 situated. The orbit of Venus is very near the 
 form of a circle as dotted on fig. 1. It is also 
 proper to add, according to the tables of the cele- 
 brated Vince, the orbits of the planets are calcu- 
 lated as an exact ellipsis, which does not differ much 
 (at least to the eye of a superficial observer) from 
 
* TO ASTRONOMY. 21 
 
 the form of a circle, except when very eccentric 
 like the orbit of § ; the greatest variation is 
 produced from the difference of centres ; ^ centre 
 differs 5° 20' ; b differs 6° 26' ; % differs 5° 30' ; 
 c? differs 10° 49', from the centre of the Sun : 
 which accounts for those differences above 
 described ; the centre of the Earth's orbit differs 
 nearly 2 degrees from the centre of the Sun. The 
 Sun appears larger at one period, viz. winter, than 
 when at the opposite point in summer. 
 
 Figure 1. — Shews the mean proportional 
 distances of the planets' orbits from the Earth 
 and Sun. In this figure the orbits are drawn as 
 circles, and parts of circles, the Sun being the 
 centre ; we wish the student to understand that a 
 knowledge of the apparent motions is essential : in 
 order to make the diagram more explicit, we have 
 shewn the difference which the semi -diameter of 
 the Earth's orbit produces on the apparent places 
 of the planets, as viewed from the Sun : the darts 
 on the figure shew the direct motions of the 
 planets in their orbits. The student will perceive 
 the line drawn through the centre of the Earth, 
 and continued to each of the planets ; now, if 
 
22 INTRODUCTION 
 
 you suppose the Earth to move rouna the Suu 
 in its orbit, you will, by observing the point of 
 this index or line which it describes in the zodiac, 
 take notice as the Earth approaches the planet 
 in that half of its orbit, which is in the same 
 signs with the planet, that the nearer the Earth 
 approaches the conjunction, the more swift does 
 the planet seem to retrograde, again become 
 more slow, then stationary ; but as the Earth 
 moves in the opposite semi-circle of its orbit, 
 the planet appears to move direct. The lines 
 drawn through the bodies of the planets from the 
 Earth in its orbit, shews the effect, which the 
 semi-diameter of the Earth's orbit has on the 
 orbit of each planet ; and also shews the more 
 remote the planet is from the Earth and Sun, the 
 less is this difference perceptible. If you observe 
 the dotted line z, where it intersects those Helio- 
 centric decrees marked on the orbit of each 
 planet, first, on the orbit of Mars a mean differ- 
 ence of 42 degrees ; on the orbit of Jupiter 
 over 1 1 degrees ; on the orbit of Saturn over 
 6 degrees ; and on the orbit of Herschel a little 
 more than 3 degrees; by which means you can 
 
TO ASTRONOMY. 23 
 
 see those proportions entirely depend upon the dis- 
 tance and angle of the semi- diameter of the Earth's 
 orbit, and as the Earth revolves in its orbit, 
 these angles above described decrease and increase 
 according to the aspect of the Earth at the time ; 
 for instance, when the Earth is in conjunction, or 
 opposition of any planet, there is no difference be- 
 tween the heliocentric place and geocentric place, 
 because they are in the same right line with the 
 Sun ; consequently there can be no angle of differ- 
 ence during the period of exact conjunction, but 
 the Earth continues to roll on in its orbit, and 
 soon makes another angle as described before. 
 
 In order to demonstrate the planets' apparent 
 motion more particularly, we shall suppose the 
 planet Mars is fixed on that part of his orbit at 
 o, suppose the Earth to be in that part of its 
 orbit at A, with the index line drawn through 
 both centres, and to continue on each centre as 
 the Earth revolves all round in its orbit. You 
 will observe that Mars would appear to the 
 earthly observer as stationary in the view from 
 a, but from a to B the planet Mars would appear 
 to move direct in his orbit, from B to c, he would 
 
24 INTRODUCTION 
 
 appear still to increase his velocity ; as the Earth 
 moves on to c, and when at c, Mars will appear in 
 conjunction with the Sun, there being no difference 
 at that point between his heliocentric and geo- 
 centric longitude on c ; but from c to D Mars 
 will appear less swift in motion as he approaches 
 D, from D to E he appears slower in motion, 
 until at e, where he appears stationary ; as the 
 Earth passes from e to F, Mars appears to retro- 
 grade, in the signs increasing his velocity until 
 at F, where the and $ are on one right line 
 with the ; during this period there is no 
 difference between the heliocentric and geocen- 
 tric longitude in degrees and minutes, being each 
 the same, but as the Earth revolves on to a, Mars 
 decreases his retrograde velocity, until the Earth 
 arrives at a, where Mars appears stationary for a 
 short period until the Earth approaches B, when 
 he again appears direct; which, we hope, will 
 perfectly explain Fig. 1 , as relates to the apparent 
 motion caused by the aspects of the Earth. But 
 in reality Mars and the Earth would both move 
 in their orbits and the aspect of A and E would

 happen in about every 25^ months appearing 
 retrograde between two and three months. 
 
 Fig. 2. — Shews the eccentricity of the orbit 
 of Mars, and its position in respect of the orbit 
 of this Earth ; the figure shews the Sun in one 
 focus of the orbit of the Earth and of the orbit of 
 Mars, each orbit being eccentric and differing 
 from the form of an exact circle, and inclining to 
 the form of an ellipsis ; the line cc drawn through 
 the centre of the Sun shews the difference between 
 the position of the centre of the Sun, and the 
 centre of the orbit of Mars. A the Aphelion, 
 bb the mean distances from the Sun, and p shews 
 the perihelion of Mars, and also demonstrates the 
 reason why the difference between the heliocentric 
 and geocentric angle, should vary nearly 20 de- 
 grees, and all the other phenomena produced as 
 already described. It must seem to the most 
 careless observer of this figure, that Mars does 
 appear considerably larger to us when in that 
 part of his orbit called the perihelion, and the 
 Earth in that part of its orbit in 6 w T ith the 
 planet Mars ; then the said planet would at the

 pears three times as large, or in proportion to the 
 distance between each, the aphelion or perihelion. 
 
 The aphelion of Mars is in 3° 3 ' Virgo. 
 
 ditto Earth — 9° 20' Capricorn, 
 
 ditto Jupiter — 1 1° 42' Libra 
 ditto Saturn — 29° 43' Sagittarius, 
 ditto Herschel — 17<> 52' Pisces. 
 
 Fig. 3, — Explains the ascending and de- 
 scending nodes, north and south latitude. When 
 a planet is in that part of his orbit at A, he is on 
 the ecliptic line in his node ; but as the planet 
 moves on to B increases his north latitude, but 
 from B to c decreases north latitude, and on c is 
 again on the ecliptic in his descending node, 
 increasing his south latitude until at D, his 
 greatest south latitude; from D to A the planet 
 decreases in south latitude, until he arrives again 
 upon the ascending node at A. 
 
 Fig. 4. — Shews the proportional magnitudes 
 of the seven planets. I have to remark that the 
 proportional diameter of the Sun would be ten 
 times greater than the largest of those planets ; 
 much might be said on the wonderful magnitude

 of the planet Jupiter, when compared to the 
 trifling proportion of the diameter of this Earth. 
 If those persons who impiously condemn the 
 science of Astrology, were but for one moment 
 to consider the insignificant weight of all this 
 great world, when compared to some of the 
 heavenly bodies belonging to the solar system ; for 
 instance, the planets Saturn and Jupiter, (which 
 must be apparent to any one who feels disposed 
 to make the comparison,) are bodies known to 
 influence each other; it is also reasonable to sup- 
 pose that this Earth is acted upon in proportion 
 to the distances and magnitudes of all the 
 heavenly bodies. 
 
 Smaller bodies near us exert as much influence 
 as larger bodies four times their size at double 
 the distance.

 Those persons who have not paid particular 
 attention, or wholly disregarded the influence of 
 the powerfvl planet Herschel, will, by the assist- 
 ance of the following' tables, be enabled to dis- 
 cover his real signification in Nativities, Direc- 
 tions, State, Physical, and Horary Astrology. 
 
 N.B. The letter D signifies direct — the letter R signifies 
 retrograde.

 * To find the longitude of a star for past years, subtract 
 the degrees, minutes, and seconds in the Table correspond- 
 ing to the number of years prior to 1836 from the longi- 
 tude of the star, and you will have its true longitude for the 
 given year; — if for future years, add the degrees, minutes, 
 and seconds corresponding to the number of years after 
 1836. 
 
ADDRESS TO STUDENTS, 
 
 #c. Sfc. 
 
 To persons that not only delight in the sub- 
 lime contemplation of the heavenly bodies, but 
 who are desirous of adding thereto the ancient 
 science of Astrology, this small work will 
 be found particularly useful. I have no doubt 
 there are many Gentlemen possessing great men- 
 tal endowments, and who have leisure time to dis- 
 pose of, who prefer to enjoy themselves with 
 these studies, by inquiring into the principles, 
 doctrines and truth of the Astrological science, 
 which is by no means an easy task, much rather 
 than to employ their time and abilities in a man- 
 ner less amusing or profitable. Not only does this 
 subject require a sound judgment but also an acute 
 and penetrating mind ; a knowledge of geometry, 
 to a certain degree, will be found indispensable. 
 Phrenology, physiognomv, and astrology will 
 f 2 
 
66 ADDRESS 
 
 be found by experience perfectly to harmonize, 
 and bear testimony alternately to eacb otber; 
 tbe pbrenologist ougbt to be an astrologer, and 
 an astronomer ; tbe astrologer ougbt to be a 
 pbrenologist a^id pbysiognomist ; and the phy- 
 siognomist ougbt to study both, in order to form 
 a solid basis whereon to build and guide his 
 judgment. I beg leave to inform the reader that 
 it is only my intention to mention these hints to 
 tbe young students, therefore the more learned 
 will please to excuse my suggestions. A young 
 person who has a desire to obtain a perfect know- 
 ledge of either of these amusing studies should 
 be well able to delineate his ideas, and have an 
 excellent, correct, and expert method of drawing 
 projections of various kinds ; particularly that 
 kind of projection known by tbe name of Mer- 
 cator's ; in order to be enabled to make a correct 
 planisphere of the heavens, the ecliptic, and the 
 earth, by which means the student will be assisted 
 very much in his ideas relative to the positions of 
 the planets and stars, both in respect of their 
 zodiacal and mundane position, which if properly 
 done will shew the difference between longitude, 
 
TO STUDENTS. 67 
 
 latitude, right ascension and declination, at 
 one view ; the practice of the different pro- 
 jections necessary for astrological and astrono- 
 mical purposes will so far assist to render the 
 most difficult problem explicit, and so easily 
 imprint on the mind of a clever student, that he 
 can thereby, as it were, survey the heavens, the 
 earth, and all planetary and other significations, 
 to guide his judgment therein ; and prevent him 
 from entertaining any fallacious or ambiguous 
 notions which are contrary to nature, science, 
 and truth. In the true projection of a planisphere, 
 the degrees of declination are to be correctly mea- 
 sured according to number, from a line of tangents ; 
 the reason I think this necessary to mention for 
 the notice of the young student, is, there have 
 been many disputations amongst persons, de- 
 claring some methods to be more correct than 
 others ; the fact is, there can only be one true 
 method. The degrees measured on the line of tan- 
 gents will exactly compensate for the loss a given 
 angle (with the plane of the equator towards the 
 poles) must sustam, if only the equatorial degrees 
 are measured from the equator to the north and 
 
68 ADDRESS 
 
 south as a scale of the declinations, which is a 
 very incorrect idea ; when the right ascensions 
 and declinations are drawn correctly, the student 
 must next proceed to project the ecliptic line 
 upon and from the scale of right ascensions and 
 declinations ; the said ecliptic line will form an 
 angle of twenty-three degrees, twenty-eight 
 minutes, or nearly so, with the plane of the equa- 
 tor. The student will find from tables, the right 
 ascension and declination that correspond with 
 every five degrees on the ecliptic line, which must 
 be marked with a fine point ; a strip of flexible 
 brass, or lance wood, bent to take these points ; 
 by drawing a line through the centre of all these 
 points, it will give the ecliptic line complete; 
 the right ascension will give the place of every 
 degree, which must be marked with the signs, 
 &c. &c. The lines on which the latitudes are to 
 be measured must be drawn through every 
 degree on the ecliptic line, at right angles with 
 the said ecliptic line, which line of latitudes so 
 drawn will point to the pole of the heavens. All 
 ri^ht lines which are drawn through a circle 
 from the centre, make riodit angles with the 
 
TO STUDENTS. 69 
 
 <*ircum fere nee ; therefore all right lines which 
 point to the centre of a given circle, will form 
 right angles with its circumference. The reason I 
 mention this, the young student must be informed 
 that the neglect of this proposition is one of 
 the errors that still exists in all the planispheres 
 that I have observed for astrological pur- 
 poses ; the lines of latitude intersecting the 
 zodiacal degrees and signs in those planispheres 
 are not drawn at right angles with the ecliptic 
 thereof: therefore those lines cannot point to the 
 pole of the heavens, but to some other place 
 contrary to reason ; the only two places in those 
 defective projections that the lines are correctly 
 pointed to the pole of the heavens is in the first 
 point of Cancer and Capricorn, which happens 
 more from chance than reasoning. The limits of 
 this work will not allow me to describe all the 
 necessary instruments that are useful and the 
 methods of projecting them ; a planisphere of 
 the heavens and earth should not be made 
 shorter than three feet, nor longer than five feet ; 
 the first would be too small if made shorter, and 
 the latter may be inconvenient if longer ; the 
 
70 ADDRESS 
 
 student can do as he pleases in this respect. 
 The tables of the planetary transits, or ingresses 
 in this work, will be a great guide (not only to 
 the student, but to the proficient in Astrology) of 
 the effects that may be expected at certain 
 periods from the ingress of the superiors over 
 the radical places in the natal figure, their transi- 
 tory good or evil aspects with the significators, 
 and their ingress over the place of a solar or lunar 
 direction, as also when they transit the ascendant, 
 or either of the other angles, their effects are 
 always very powerful, especially when retrograde. 
 If primary or secondary directions were ever so 
 good and promising, an evil transit of Herschel 
 ('* according to some opinions") or of Saturn, 
 more particularly over the place the direction falls 
 in, if near the ecliptic, or on the body of the 
 promissor, it will be found nearly to destroy all 
 the good resulting therefrom. The student should 
 be aware that the slow motion of superior planets 
 operate most powerfully, particularly when they 
 are retrograde, and if Mars happens to retrograde 
 over a significator or direction in a nativity as 
 mentioned, he will act with most powerful 
 
TO STUDENTS. 71 
 
 violence and sudden action ; like gun-shot, or 
 lightning. It often happens at the period that 
 good directions come into operation, that a com- 
 bination of evil transits, aspects, and positions, 
 frustrate or retard the benefit expected: when 
 evil is threatened by malign directions, the 
 effect of a good transit, of the ponderous Jupiter 
 at the exact period, should it transit or pass over 
 this part of the zodiac where the evil is threatened, 
 will by his transitory influence prevent, amelio* 
 rate, or neutralize the effects anticipated ; there- 
 fore those ingress Tables are of the utmost 
 importance for the use of students that wish 
 their opinions of good and evil directions to 
 approximate as near the truth as possible. There 
 is much amusement and profitable instruction to 
 be derived from studies of this class, and by 
 judging from the ancient rules of this science, 
 we become philosophically prepared to meet an 
 evil with more fortitude, and to take a more 
 decided advantage of a good direction ; this 
 science affords to the mind of the man of genius 
 and] ability a continual fund of amusement, by 
 seeing the rules of this science and his own 
 
72 ADDRESS 
 
 predictions verified, according to scientific order 
 and principles. There are many things to be 
 considered in judicial astrology ; one argument 
 against another; one testimony for, and perhaps 
 two against ; at other times several testimonies 
 for and against the expected event ; astrological, 
 phrenological, and physiognomical judgments 
 ought to be well weighed before an answer is given, 
 or an opinion is formed ; for if the student is too 
 hasty in his decision, he will soon afterwards 
 perceive some argument to neutralize what he, 
 at a hasty glance, considered positive. Students 
 of astrology are very often useful to their friends 
 by giving them a timely precaution to avoid an 
 evil and at other times suggesting the propriety 
 of taking the most advantage of a good or fortu- 
 nate period or expectation. The man who 
 endeavours to study human nature, and to class 
 different individuals by the assistance of phreno- 
 logy or physiognomy, can never be expected to 
 complete his observations, or even to bring them 
 into a correct form without the aid and assistance 
 of mathematics and astrology, which includes with 
 the others, four essential branches, for persons to 
 
TO STUDENTS. 73 
 
 be acquainted with, who choose to amuse them- 
 selves in this scientific way. The tables of the 
 longitude and latitude of 144 selected fixed stars 
 will be found correct up to the year 1836, with 
 rules for calculating their longitude for past and 
 future years, which, I have no doubt, will be found 
 very useful to the student in placing those stars in 
 the proper positions which they are to occupy in a 
 nativity or other figure of importance, with more 
 exactness than I have seen in use; there have 
 been tables of the fixed stars published at various 
 periods for astrological purposes ; but unfortu- 
 nately in many of those tables the longitude of 
 several stars is very incorrect. I need only 
 mention one instance, Archturus has been placed 
 more than a degree preceding the Virgin spica 
 star in longitude ; whereas, the true place of 
 Archturus in the ecliptic succeeds the longitude 
 of the Virgin spica in the sign Libra. The 
 author hopes that students will be enabled in their 
 inquiries, by this table of the fixed stars, to 
 ascertain if those stars of the first and second 
 magnitudes are really significators of importance, 
 when in conjunction or aspect to the planets or 
 
74 ADDRESS 
 
 angles of a nativity ; it is, at least, worth the 
 experimental observation of all those who minutely 
 enter into the study of this science. The fixed 
 stars differ from each other in magnitude and 
 colour. " Ptolemy was of opinion that the ruddy 
 coloured stars were of the nature of Mars, those 
 fixed stars which emit a bright white light of the 
 nature of Venus, those like the colour of Mer- 
 cury, Saturn, Jupiter, or * Herschel,' of the same 
 nature as the planets whose colour they represent. 
 Stars of the first magnitude were more potent than 
 those of the second, third, or fourth magnitude in 
 signification. Those fixed stars near the ecliptic 
 line, especially such as Regulus in the sign Leo, 
 or the Virgin spica in Libra being more power- 
 ful significators than stars of the same magnitude 
 having greater latitude.'' I leave these important 
 considerations to the student's own observations, 
 as I have neither space nor opportunity at present 
 to correct the ancient errors, if any exist, on 
 the subject of their nature and colour. Several 
 of the fixed stars have been observed to change 
 their magnitudes, and perhaps, at the same time, 
 their nature, according to an astrological 
 
TO STUDENTS. 15 
 
 expression ; because a star of the first magnitude 
 cannot appear so bright, or, perhaps, of the same 
 colour, as it does when changed from the first to 
 the third or fourth magnitude, such is my opinion 
 only. Herschel's tables of the fixed stars, classed 
 in a superior style, are well worth the perusal of 
 every astronomical and astrological student, in 
 order to give them a much better information on 
 the nature and colour of the fixed stars, than any 
 astrological work has given on the subject. Some 
 students are of opinion that the conjunctions and 
 aspects of the fixed stars of the first, second and 
 third magnitude should be regarded, particularly 
 those stars vertical to the place of birth, on the 
 cusps of the houses, or in conjunction with the 
 planets and significators in the natal figure. The 
 more famous the fixed star, the more conspicuous 
 will its signification be manifested. The student 
 w r ill always find something new and instructing in 
 this science, and one inquiry will lead him to 
 another ; the pleasure which a knowledge of 
 astrology imparts to the mind cannot be fully 
 appreciated, except by those who are well 
 versed in all its significations, and in those 
 different branches of information which I have 
 
7t> ADDRESS 
 
 named before. It is necessary to inform the 
 student that he will find a great deal more 
 information upon natal and state astrology in 
 Ptolemy's Quadripartite, than will at the first 
 reading thereof seem evident, but on a more 
 studious observation the inquiry will handsomely 
 repay the young student for his endeavours 
 to obtain the required information. Lilly's Astro- 
 logy is a valuable book to consult for horary 
 questions, and possesses a great deal of information 
 for the astrologian ; but for a small pocket 
 volume Eland's Tutor to Astrology by Parker, 
 will be found a compact little work, with tables 
 for calculating directions, &c. &c. I would wish 
 to impress on the mind of the Student that many 
 of the tables in old astrological works are very 
 incorrect ; the table of houses in Eland, and 
 many others that I have examined, ought not to 
 be depended upon. Placidus should be read, and 
 the works of Partridge on astrology will also be 
 found excellent : there are many new works from 
 which the student will obtain great assistance ; 
 but those old works I have mentioned will be 
 quite sufficient to read "as standard works/' and 
 will always be essential for reference. 
 
TO STUDENTS. 7/ 
 
 Many persons are aware that they have at 
 certain periods fancied how much they should 
 like to become acquainted with such or such an 
 individual ; perhaps after the desired introduction 
 has taken place, and on a short or long acquaint- 
 ance, they have discovered that the individual 
 whose manners and disposition they imagined so 
 pleasing to their own fancy, proves, from exami- 
 nation and experience, that the said individual is 
 possessed of very different principles and dispo- 
 sition to what the erroneous fancy painted on the 
 imagination of the desirous person. But the 
 man who is conversant with the rules of Phreno- 
 logy, Physiognomy, and Astrology, (although the 
 last mentioned is not the least decided criterion 
 to guide the judgment in such matters) ; a science 
 which teaches us to know that if the significators 
 at the birth of each, (the person and individual 
 who are anxious to become friends or acquaint- 
 ances,) does not harmonise by position and aspect 
 with each others planet's places, in the natal 
 figure of each ; that acquaintance thus formed, 
 must prove injurious to either party if of long 
 duration. If their planetary significators are in 
 G 2 
 
78 ADDRESS 
 
 no aspect to each other, we may then conclude 
 that the slightest disagreement breaks off all 
 acquaintance between the parties, and they sepa- 
 rate as completely as if they had never known 
 each other; again, when the significators in the 
 one nativity square, or oppose those in the na- 
 tivity of the other, then they will separate with 
 a severe dispute or quarrel, the nature of which 
 the significators will show ; but if the planets in 
 each nativity harmonise with sextile, or trine 
 aspects^ or by conjunctions, &c. this will be a 
 strong argument that kindness and mutual friend- 
 ship will continually exist between such persons. 
 The positions and aspects of the luminaries ought 
 to be most particularly regarded in this enquiry, 
 for if the sun in one nativity is in the same sign 
 and degree of the sun or moon in the other's na- 
 tivity, each to change places, or behold in trine 
 or sextile, that friendship formed by such per- 
 sons, (if the other testimonies agree) will be per- 
 manent, profitable, and of long duration. In as 
 much as Phrenology and Physiognomy guides the 
 generality of persons in forming their opinions 
 of individuals with whom they wish to become 
 
TO STUDENTS. 79 
 
 acquainted as friends or acquaintances, yet from 
 too partial a feeling the Student of Phrenology or 
 Physiognomy may be known to err; but a good 
 knowledge of both, united with the science of 
 Astrology, will be found to make a complete prin- 
 ciple to act upon in such cases ; but without the 
 assistance of Astrology, the rules of Phrenology, 
 and Physiognomy will often cause the judgment 
 to be dubious ; if the rules of Astrology are con- 
 sulted, it will fix, and decide the judgment and 
 knowledge of Phrenology and Physiognomy. Now 
 if we are to admit that a selection of individuals 
 for friends and agreeable acquaintances is a desi- 
 deratum of great importance to every one that 
 delights to enjoy peace and happiness in the cir- 
 cle of their friends and acquaintances, and that 
 such arrangements are necessary for the choice 
 of friends, or of those whose acquaintance may 
 be changed at pleasure ; how much more particu- 
 larly are these considerations to be taken into 
 account by those persons of each sex who are 
 about to unite themselves by the bond of matri- 
 mony for life, or until that period arrives, when 
 one or the other's dissolution or death takes 
 
80 ADDRESS 
 
 place. This consideration of agreement I am 
 sorry to say is a circumstance too lightly regarded 
 by the majority of persons who unite themselves 
 to each other in this way ; and very often con- 
 tinue to live together or separate, unhappily for 
 years, which might be prevented, if the parties 
 were to take the trouble of a few hours study, 
 application, or inquiry ; an Astrologer, Phreno- 
 logist and Physiognomist perfectly understands 
 that when the animal feelings and desires are 
 permitted to act more powerfully than the intel- 
 lectual or reasoning faculty, considerations such 
 as I have described are never thought of, until 
 too late. That knowledge which teaches us 
 to guide our actions with discretion, to discern 
 the difference between a continual sympathy, and 
 a continual antipathy, or the difference between 
 occasional or accidental sympathies and acci- 
 dental antipathies ; such knowledge is valuable 
 to all those who love peace and good will, there- 
 fore a knowledge of astrology is decidedly pro- 
 fitable to any one who has sufficient abilities 
 to comprehend its rules, and to appreciate its 
 value. A difference of years in the age of persons 
 
TO STUDENTS. 81 
 
 is not so much the cause of disagreement amongst 
 individuals as the radical temperament, and aspect 
 of the planets and stars at the birth of each indi- 
 vidual so circumstanced. I have known indivi- 
 duals whose planetary positions at birth nearly 
 harmonised with each other's by good aspects ; 
 and it is impossible to describe the love, harmony, 
 and good will, that perpetually existed between 
 them ; although these persons often quarrelled 
 with some of their friends, yet they never quarrelled 
 or used angry words against each other, on the 
 contrary always endeavoured to please each other ; 
 therefore the astrological rules of agreement are 
 not positive assertions, without having many times 
 put them to the test of truth : several circum - 
 stances and proofs may be given and stated from 
 observations of my own and others on this sub- 
 ject, but the limits of this work will not allow of 
 particulars. There are many persons who are well 
 acquainted with the truth and information which 
 can be derived from an impartial astrological in- 
 quiry ; a smiling face may deceive, and a beau- 
 tiful head and form may mislead our opinions, 
 but the silent language of the planetary positions 
 
82 ADDRESS 
 
 at the birth of an individual will never deceive 
 those who are capable of making the inquiry. 
 If persons have not got the ability themselves 
 to make this inquiry, and are anxious to obtain 
 the astrological judgment of agreement and other 
 questions spoken of, there are some very respect- 
 able individuals who profess a knowledge of this 
 science, and may be consulted on this subject 
 for a moderate remuneration ; therefore on that 
 account, many persons are less excusable for not 
 making use of this inquiry, especially when either 
 their future happiness or miserymay depend upon 
 the result of their union, or other critical points 
 to which we are all subject. Some persons will say, 
 certainly it must be allowed that some individuals 
 are very often unfortunate in their choice, and too 
 apt to place their strong affections upon certain 
 individuals of their acquaintance or seeming 
 friends, which all the philosophers in the world 
 cannot persuade them from, until overwhelmed 
 with disappointment or misery ; but this is no 
 argument against what I have advanced, as the 
 astrologer can perceive that inclination in the 
 nativity of the individual, the physiognomist may 
 
TO STUDENTS. 83 
 
 discover a tendency thereto from the countenance 
 of the said individual, and the phrenologist may 
 find evidence of the same from the combination 
 of testimonies in the organic form of the cranium, 
 or on the external surface of the head over the 
 brain. 
 
 The phrenologists class the organs of the 
 head and brain into different compartments, for 
 various significations; the physiognomist does the 
 same with the countenance ; likewise the astrolo- 
 ger classes the heavens and earth each into twelve 
 divisions or compartments, from thence, and the 
 planetary significators placed therein, &c. he 
 judges of the nature, abilities, &c. of an indivi- 
 dual ; every impartial man will easily discern 
 the utility of uniting the three sciences thus 
 mentioned. The phrenologist who may deny 
 any truth to exist in the principles of physiognomy 
 or astrology, must appear as inconsistent and 
 ridiculous, as the physiognomist who may deny 
 the'truth of phrenological or astrological rules ; 
 the astrologian must be as inconsistent as either 
 the physiognomist or phrenologist, if he were to 
 disbelieve the existence and utility of each. 
 
84 ADDRESS 
 
 These and all other sciences, founded upon 
 mathematical principles, by attentive study will 
 be found to harmonise, one bears testimony to 
 support the existence, and confirm the use of 
 the other. Many animals are known to possess 
 an instinct of foreknowledge to a certain extent ; 
 and does it appear unreasonable or impious to 
 suppose that men should be guided to foresee the 
 probable event or nature of things, from an 
 exertion of reason, science, or knowledge. If 
 such ideas are considered impious by some per- 
 sons, they must also acknowledge that the brute 
 creation are superior to man, which is both in- 
 consistent and absurd. What naturalists call 
 instinct in animals of the brute creation, I take 
 the liberty to term presentiment, as belonging to 
 man, which when combined with the rules of 
 science, and the reasoning powers of probability, 
 precedent, and comparison, that such a cause will 
 produce such an effect, or that a certain signifi- 
 cation, shows that a certain effect will follow. 
 Every man is possessed of a certain foreknowledge 
 and presentiment, vet many persons deny an 
 existence of the possibility to foretell any thing. 
 
TO STUDENTS. 85 
 
 How often we have heard such persons contradict 
 themselves by speaking to their friends about 
 some individual, exclaiming, u I told you that he 
 was a scamp, he looked like a rogue, I supposed 
 he would deceive you ;" yet these very persons 
 deny that any one else can know as well as they 
 do, by judging from similar rules ; speaking of 
 a speculation, you often hear such persons say, 
 " I told you that business would not answer, no 
 one ever prospered in that house : I knew your 
 endeavours would fail;' 1 this is a sort of instinctive 
 prophecy, which if we admit to exist in human 
 beings, certainly when aided by learning or 
 science, the judgment must be considerably im - 
 proved in predictions. Every man to a certain 
 extent is a physiognomist, phrenologist, and 
 prognosticator of future events ; it is actually a 
 part and parcel of our reasoning and preceptive 
 faculty, exerted to guide and assist us through the 
 pleasures or difficulties of this life. The mariner 
 predicts a storm from the appearance of a scud in 
 the sky ; persons fearlessly judge from the colour of 
 the clouds at the rising or setting sun, at high 
 water, or at other times, by either the new or full 
 H 
 
86 ADDRESS 
 
 moon, what kind of weather we shall have ; from 
 the shooting of the stars, they predict from 
 whence wind is likely to come, and a variety of 
 other significations, too numerous to mention. 
 
 Astrology has been practised and studied by 
 men of learning in all ages. I shall give a list of 
 some few names of the eminent men who either 
 patronized, studied, or practised this science. It 
 is a well known fact that many eminent men 
 have derived great pleasure and information from 
 astrological studies ; physicians in ancient times 
 were not considered fit to practise, if ignorant 
 of the astrological rules of physic, the antipa- 
 thy of one plant or herb, and the sympathy of 
 another, the nature of the different plants, roots, 
 herbs, trees, &c. or of consulting the state of the 
 sick astrologically, constitutionally, and physically, 
 discovering the nature of the disease, and admini- 
 stering that kind of medicine which either cured 
 the patient by sympathy, or eradicated the disease 
 by antipathy. By this means many extraordinary 
 cures were effected ; there are some students who 
 are truly astonishing in their judgment of diseases, 
 drawn from the astrological figure of decumbiture. 
 
TO STUDENTS. 87 
 
 Those students who are fond of this kind of study 
 may consult the best edition of Culpepper's Herbal 
 in three volumes, which contains a good deal of 
 information on the subject. There have been many 
 excellent cures performed from the ancient rules 
 of physical astrology from herbs, trees, seeds or 
 plants, according to the patient's disease, the nature 
 of the herb and medicine used, was either martial, 
 solar, venal, saturnine, lunar, jovial, or mercurial 
 in quality. The sympathy of the planets, of the 
 herbs, &c. with the different parts of the body 
 astrologically considered, affords much pleasing, 
 curious, and profitable information to an inquir- 
 ing mind. The young student ought to study 
 human nature, the habits, customs, and incli- 
 nations of persons born in the different foreign 
 countries ; a man born in London, and one in 
 Paris, another born in Alexandria, although at 
 the same period of time, but from the difference 
 of the ascending degrees, or from the difference of 
 climates, the nature and disposition of the parents, 
 or education, conduces much to alter or prejudice 
 the natural qualities of each individual. If two 
 persons were born at the same place and moment 
 
88 ADDRESS 
 
 of time In different spheres of life, the one in high 
 life, the other in poor and humble circumstances, 
 although the accidents or fortunate circumstances 
 shall happen to each person about the same 
 period ; this does not argue that because the 
 poor person's child has been born at the same 
 time as the rich person's child that each shall 
 be equally rich, most certainly not ; but when 
 the person who has been born in high life receives 
 a great deal of wealth, the person in low life 
 shall receive a benefit great for his sphere of life, 
 perhaps not amounting to the one-hundredth part 
 as much as the rich person received : under good 
 directions each person shall prosper according to 
 their sphere of life, which is a consideration that 
 ought never to be forgotten by the student. The 
 sphere of life in which we move as individuals 
 and our mental endowments entirely decide the 
 fortune and kind of proportional benefit we may 
 expect from good directions, and the ill effect 
 of malevolent directions, transits, &c. for in the

 sellor, or statesman, but not moving in that class 
 of life to entitle him to rank equal to his abilities, 
 he remains in comparative oblivion, except amongst 
 a few friends, or perhaps shines forth in the 
 assembly of porters and labourers at an ale-house, 
 or other place of amusement, according to his 
 sphere of life ; if better circumstanced, perhaps 
 he may distinguish himself at public or parish 
 meetings and other places of assembly. It is a 
 very erroneons opinion of some persons who wish 
 to know the fate or abilities of a child, or an 
 adult, by endeavouring to keep the astrologian 
 ignorant of the sphere of life in which the native 
 moves, or is likely to move ; as that circumstance 
 alone will materially alter the judgment, in as 
 much as high life differs from low life, every 
 thing in nature acts in mathematical proportion, 
 according to order and spheres, times, seasons, 
 and years, every individual is subject to these 
 laws, which we must allow are just and impartial. 
 All persons who have got a princely position of 
 the planets at their birth will not be kings or 
 princes over nations, but you may depend they 
 will be esteemed or rank as princes and superiors

 in the sphere or class of society in which thev 
 exist or live ; it sometimes happens that a porter 
 or labourer in an establishment is the sole guide 
 and prime minister to his employer, the merchant 
 or tradesman ; perhaps if the porter or labourer 
 were born in a different sphere of life as a peer of 
 the realm, he might become a prime minister or 
 confidential adviser to the kin£ • this is the 
 manner in which a young student should con- 
 sider things of this nature, all according to order, 
 rank and position. 
 
 Many students are in the habit of erecting 
 figures or charts of the heavens, according to the 
 mean clock time, this method is sometimes liable 
 to great errors, especially as the true position of a 
 figure alone can be depended upon, for the givers 
 of life, and all the other significators may perhaps 
 be actually angular in the true figure, calculated 
 from the solar time, but in the chart, calculated 
 for mean time only, these significators may be 
 situated in cadent houses, which makes a serious 
 dirference. Suppose a figure is erected for 
 October tin twenty-eighth, three hours twenty 
 minutes past noon, 1805. tie equation of time 
 
TO STUDENTS. 91 
 
 being sixteen minutes, the mean clock time will 
 give eleven degrees fifty-three minutes of the sign 
 Pisces on the cusp of the ascendant, but the 
 true and solar time will give twenty- one degrees 
 twenty- seven minutes of the same sign ; making 
 a difference in the ascendant, by neglecting the 
 equation of mean time to make it solar time, 
 of nine degrees thirty-four minutes. In the 
 month of February there is an equation to be 
 subtracted from the mean clock time of fourteen 
 minutes nearly on an average, which will make a 
 difference from the mean clock time of eight de- 
 grees four minutes, should either the sign Aries or 
 Pisces happen to ascend ; therefore the equation 
 of time, from mean to solar time, should never 
 be neglected. Now as this small period of time 
 makes so great a difference in the ascendant, how 
 very necessary it is for every student in astrology 
 or astronomy to have a correct time -piece or 
 watch ; there are many respectable students that 
 cannot afford to give forty or fifty guineas for a 
 watch. Feeling a desire to assist the student as 
 much as possible, I considered the best plan to 
 adopt was to consult some highly respectable 
 
92 ADDRESS 
 
 watch and chronometer maker, of long established 
 practice, to know if a watch could be manufac- 
 tured for a reasonable sum, say between seven 
 and ten guineas, that could be depended upon by 
 astrological students ; for this purpose a friend 
 accompanied me to Mr. Elisha of Piccadilly, the 
 result of the inquiry was so satisfactory, and his 
 answer was really so candid that I feel it my duty 
 to give it verbatim. "In answer to your ques- 
 tion respecting the most proper watch for 
 scientific purposes, I have to remark that it must 
 be a scape watch, viz. horizontal, lever, duplex 
 or the pocket chronometer, the latter is used for 
 maritime purposes, and has been found to be the 
 only one to answer ; the reason is that such a 
 watch, when manufactured sound and good, well 
 timed in heat and cold, long, and short vibrations, 
 positions, &c, after such attentions, and being 
 brought to mean time, has been found to keep 
 its rate so accurately that the Captain has not 
 been out in his reckoning half a mile in a long 
 voyage ; but as this watch when made sound and 
 well timed costs a large sum, say forty guineas, 
 in silver, or sixty guineas in gold, it would be? 
 
TO STUDENTS. 93 
 
 perhaps, out of the question for persons in an 
 ordinary sphere of life to expect to be possessed 
 of such a machine. The duplex watch is open 
 to some objections, not in principle, but from 
 the delicacy of the escapement, it is necessary at 
 all times to be careful when any repairs are to be 
 done, or even cleaning only, and to be extremely 
 careful into whose hands they are given, for I 
 maintain, that unless this watch, as well as the 
 chronometer, is repaired by a person who has 
 professedly learnt the principle, good going 
 cannot be obtained ; I therefore should recom- 
 mend either an horizontal or lever watch, made 
 sound and good, bearing this in mind always, 
 that the good qualities of a watch does not 
 depend upon fine finishing, polishing hollows, 
 undercutting the shoulders, &c, until they are 
 nearly off, thereby making the watch in realitv 
 unsound. The grand points to be considered 
 are, a first-rate movement, a sound and good 
 escapement, careful finishing, and next, though 
 not least, the selection of the steel wire, from 
 which the pendulum or regulating spring is to be 
 manufactured, for the inequalities in the wire 
 
94 ADDRESS 
 
 generally are baneful indeed; I could dwell 
 greatly upon this point, but find it scarcely neces- 
 sary to enter upon more particulars, as every 
 good workman is aware of the consequences if 
 neglected. Therefore without hesitation I do 
 affirm that the latter watches, when made by and 
 obtained from respectable houses, will be found 
 to answer sufficiently well for the astronomical 
 and astrological purposes which have been 
 described, and can be obtained for the price you 
 have stated." But on a little closer inquiry 
 Mr. Elisha informed us, that sound and good 
 horizontal or lever watches in silver or gilt cases 
 may be obtained from six to seven guineas, in 
 double bottom cases, or to wind at the back, 
 from seven to ten guineas, the price we men- 
 tioned ; the reason I have given this statement at 
 length is to afford the student every opportunity 
 of obtaining correct figures of the heavens ; for 
 if at the birth of an individual a wrong time is 
 given, and asserted as the true time, from an 
 indifferent time piece, or watch more particularly, 
 an error in this particular is likely to prove very 
 troublesome ; certainly the trutine of Hermes is 
 
TO STUDENTS. 95 
 
 the most correct method I have seen tried to 
 rectify the figure at birth ; it must be allowed 
 that without a correct mean time astrologers 
 cannot obtain the true solar time. I shall now 
 proceed with a few remarks and new propositions, 
 which if disregarded by gentlemen who are pro- 
 ficients in this science, perhaps the young 
 student may be induced to make a fair trial of 
 some of those astronomical, and astrological su£- 
 gestions, which I shall render easy for those who 
 choose to adopt them. I beg leave to call your 
 attention to the various distances of the superior 
 planets from us in their periodic revolutions, when 
 thev appear to be in opposition to the sun they 
 are nearer to this earth by the distance of the 
 whole diameter of this earth's orbit, (about one 
 hundred and ninety millions of miles) than when 
 the sun appears in the same sign, in conjunction 
 with the said planets. So that all superior 
 planets are nearer to this earth, when they appear 
 to be in opposition to the sun, than when in con- 
 junction with the sun ; again, when a planet is in 
 that part of his orbit called his perhelion, he is 
 nearer to the orbit of this earth than when on 
 
96 ADDRESS 
 
 that part of his orbit called his aphelion, which 
 difference in distance is caused by the eccentricity 
 of the planets' and earth's orbits, produced by the 
 variation between the centres of the orbit of the 
 planets and the centre of the sun. We shall 
 endeavour to avoid mentioning technical terms 
 as much as possible, in order to make the 
 subject better understood by the student ; com- 
 mencing this part of our observations upon the 
 orbit and planet of Mars, which is very eccentric, 
 differing 10° 41' from the centre of the Sun, and 
 more from the centre of the Earth's orbit, which 
 the diagram will explain. When Mars happens 
 to appear in opposition to the Sun from three 
 degrees of the sign Virgo, Mars is at that period 
 more than three times further distant from the 
 Earth, than when in opposition to the Sun from 
 the opposite sign three degrees of Pisces ; making 
 of course a considerable difference in the influen- 
 tial power of the planet Mars by his near approxi- 
 mation to the orb of this Earth, Mars having more 
 than nine times the influence in the sign Pisces 
 than when in the sign Virgo, according to this 
 calculation. The influence of Mars increases from 
 
TO STUDENTS. 97 
 
 three degrees of the sign Virgo to three degrees of 
 the sign Pisces, and decreases in power from three 
 decrees of the sign Pisces to three decrees of the 
 sign Virgo. The next superior planets we have 
 to mention in order are those small planets, Vesta, 
 Ceres, Juno and Pallas, their orbits are very 
 eccentric, crossing each other in different places 
 of their orbits, having great latitude. The 
 planets Juno and Pallas move in orbits whose 
 planes are nearer to the plane of the equator 
 than the ecliptic. Some astrologers say they are 
 of no consequence, as they are not easily seen ; 
 some astronomers differ most essentially about the 
 magnitude of these planets, the foreign astro- 
 nomers say they are considerably larger, which I 
 believe, and of greater magnitude than our 
 English astronomers admit. The planets Ceres, 
 Pallas, and Juno, are of a ruddy colour, like 
 Mars, and have very dense atmospheres several 
 hundred miles high ; the planet Vesta is near the 
 colour of Venus of the sixth magnitude, a pure 
 intense white. Ceres of a ruddy colour of the 
 eighth magnitude, atmosphere six hundred and 
 seventy miles high. Pallas is not so ruddy as 
 I 
 
98 ADDRESS 
 
 Ceres, about the eighth magnitude, his atmo- 
 sphere is calculated at four hundred and sixty 
 miles high from the surface of the planet. The 
 planet Juno is free from that kind of nebulous 
 atmosphere that surrounds Pallas and Ceres, of a 
 reddish colour, and of the eighth magnitude. 
 As the planet Herschel has been considered by 
 many first-rate astrologers to be powerful in his 
 signification and effects, he appears about the 
 size of a star of the fifth magnitude, of a bluish 
 white light, resembling the colour of Jupiter. 
 Although out of place here, I only wish to 
 mention, that I am very much of opinion that 
 the small planets, Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas, 
 ought to be noticed, especially as significators of 
 accidents and hurts ; the longitude and latitude 
 would be a useful addition to the longitude of 
 the other planets in the Ephemeris, and well 
 worth consideration ; although it is difficult to 
 see the planet Herschel, yet he is potent in his 
 effects, and why should not those small superior 
 planets, at least, signify something. I hope the 
 student will give them a fair trial, as I am indebted 
 for the idea regarding the nature of these planets 
 
TO STUDENTS. 99 
 
 to a very celebrated admirer of this science. It 
 is supposed that Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas, 
 were one and parts of the same planet, which by 
 internal combustion or explosion separated these 
 fragments from each other, and became distinct 
 planets ; we shall leave these new planets to the 
 experimental observations of students in this 
 science, and proceed to the next in order, the 
 ponderous planet Jupiter. When Jupiter appears 
 in opposition to the Sun, from twelve degrees of 
 the sign Aries, he is then at his nearest possible 
 distance from this earth, being in his perigee, 
 consequently of greater influence on this part of 
 his orbit than when he is in the same aspect with 
 the sun in the opposite sign Libra in his apogee, 
 or greatest distance from the centre of this earth, 
 and of less influence, according to the tenor of 
 this speculation. The planet Jupiter decreases 
 in this power or influence from twelve degrees of 
 the sign Aries, and increases from twelve degrees 
 of the sign Libra to twelve degrees of the sign 
 Aries. The planet Saturn is nearest to this 
 earth when in opposition to the Sun in the begin- 
 ning of the sign Cancer, and if in like aspect 
 
100 ADDRESS 
 
 from the beginning of the opposite sign Capri- 
 corn, he is then in his apogee or greatest distance 
 from the Earth's centre in that aspect, Saturn 
 increases in influence from the beginning of 
 Capricorn to the beginning of Cancer, and 
 decreases from that point to the beginning of the 
 sign Capricorn. The planet Herschel is nearest 
 to the centre of this Earth when in opposition to 
 the Sun from eighteen degrees of the sign Virgo, 
 but when appearing to make the same aspect 
 from the opposite sign eighteen degrees of Pisces, 
 he is then in his apogee, or greatest distance 
 from the centre of this earth. 
 
 The following table will give an idea of the 
 relative proportional distances of these configura- 
 tions, shewing the variation of these planets being 
 in apogee or perigee. I am more particularly 
 induced to mention this idea as some gentlemen 
 do not allow the existence of planetary dignities, 
 perhaps they may be more inclined to experiment 
 on this proposition.

 This Table shews the proportional distance 
 between perigee and apogee ; Mercury, for 
 instance, when in that part of his orbit nearest 
 the Earth's orbit, and aspected as described, 
 is only two thirds of his distance from the Earth's 
 centre, than when in his apogee, aspected in like 
 manner ; the distance of Venus when in perigee 
 is five-sixths of her apogeean distance from the 
 Earth's centre. Mars when in his perigee, and 
 aspected as described in the Table, is only three- 
 tenth part of the distance from us in that position 
 than when in his apogee; and so of the other 
 planets ; by which it appears that the greatest 
 and least distances of the planets from the Earth's 
 centre are more potently exhibited when inferior 
 planets appear retrograde, and in conjunction 
 with the sun, and when superior planets appear 
 retrograde and in opposition to the sun. The 
 other aspects of the planets render the propor- 
 tional difference between the apogee and perigee 
 less perceptible than the positions I have de- 
 scribed in the table ; because in those positions 
 the earth is in heliocentric conjunction with the 
 said planets, but when separating from or 
 
TO STUDENTS. 103 
 
 approaching to that heliocentric conjunction, the 
 proportion of the diameter of the Earth's orbit 
 must be taken into account. I have been 
 induced to mention this idea, with those that 
 follow, as some individuals have thought proper 
 to differ in opinion from the ancient rules re- 
 specting the parts of the Zodiac in which the 
 planets exert their greatest influence. The 
 tables which I have taken the trouble to calculate 
 will be a means of emitting some light on this 
 subject, namely, the geocentric places of the nodes 
 of the planets, if the ascending and descending 
 nodes of the moon, which are continually changing 
 by retrograde motion, should signify the effects 
 described by some authors, I can see no reason 
 why that the nodes of the ponderous planets 
 Jupiter, Saturn, or Herschel, should not like- 
 wise have effect, aye, and those too of Mars, 
 Venus, and Mercury, will furnish some addi- 
 tional signification and argument for the lovers 
 of astrology and for the searchers into the truth 
 of this doctrine ; in order to expound some acci- 
 dental affairs that sometimes cannot be accounted 
 
104 ADDRESS 
 
 for in the usual way. Venus, for instance, is 
 generally allowed to be well placed in the sign 
 Libra if unafflicted, but if the descending node 
 of Mars was passing over the same degree of 
 longitude which Venus is in Libra, (here a ma- 
 terial alteration will take place, according to the 
 nature of the nodes) I am conscious of one 
 instance thereof, which confirms my opinion 
 that the student will be much pleased with 
 the consideration of the geocentric nodes of 
 each planet, and their longitudinal positions, 
 which may happen at the birth of an individual 
 or in a question of consequence, including the 
 planets Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas, being 
 sixteen significators, which have not been taken 
 into account by astrologers. These new propo- 
 sitions may appear strange to some individuals, 
 but in order to give the young student a reason 
 why I have proposed them, I answer, because they 
 are founded on the same observations as every 
 significator used in astrology, that is to say, on 
 true astronomical principles ; and on that ac- 
 count entitled to the investigation of those per- 
 sons who consider scientific research worthy of 
 
TO STUDENTS. 105 
 
 their attention and experimental observation. I 
 feel confident that some of the industrious and 
 learned students and professors that are known to 
 patronize and study this science, will, by their 
 superior abilities, give these astronomical and 
 astrological propositions a fair and impartial trial. 
 The young student must be aware from what has 
 been already stated, that both the superior and 
 inferior planets are nearer to this earth when they 
 appear retrograde or stationary, than when the 
 planets appear direct in motion, according to the 
 succession of signs from west by south to east ; 
 a planet's effects ought to appear more evident or 
 potently, when retrograding or stationary, accord- 
 ing to the principles of matter approximating 
 closer to each other in that position, than when 
 situated at a greater distance. I do not wish by 
 suggestions of this nature to make the science 
 
 CO 
 
 of astrology appear more difficult to the compre- 
 hension, but in order, if possible, to elucidate 
 some things which have appeared in certain 
 instances to act at variance to the rules generally 
 practised. It may be argued by some that astro- 
 logers did verv well without a knowledge of the 
 
106 ADDRESS 
 
 planet Herschel, but every scientific man in 
 astrology is well aware how much better astrolo- 
 gers can do by making use of his signification. 
 I shall here, in this place, just mention, that the 
 planet Herschel personally signifies men of 
 science, who either by curious inventions, or 
 studies and discoveries of a description contrary 
 to the belief, or of that class of researches far 
 above the comprehension of the generality of 
 individuals. 
 
 I have noticed that when Saturn transited the 
 place of the radical Herschel in the nativity of 
 a few of my friends, that some eccentric friend 
 of theirs, (who was fond of astrological, physi- 
 cal, or divine studies, and pursuits contrary to 
 the general opinion of worldly-minded persons) 
 either died, or had a severe illness or trouble. 
 From the position of Herschel in the radical 
 figure, he always denotes the most extraordinary 
 persons, fond of erudite and ancient learning, 
 such as alchy mists, or very deeply experimental 
 chemists, and persons altogether extraordinary. 
 Mr. Varley, in his Zodiacal Physiognomy, has 
 given an excellent account of Herschel, and I 
 
TO STUDENTS. 107 
 
 shall take this oppormnity to inform every stu- 
 dent who is fond of those sciences, that he should 
 have a copy of that useful work as a reference, 
 which gives the signs ascending, for every day 
 and hour throughout the year, with a variety of 
 very scientific and useful information, profitable 
 for the phrenological, physiognomical, and astro- 
 logical student. I have reason to believe that, 
 according to the doctrine of Ptolemy, Herschel 
 is not so malevolent a planet as some persons 
 represent, if we are to judge from his colour, 
 he is much like the planet Jupiter in that respect ; 
 however eccentric I may appear in my opinion, 
 Herschel is only a torment and plague to fools 
 and ignorant persons, and is like the planet 
 Jupiter to scientific men ; of course he acts less 
 powerfully, being so much smaller than Jupiter, 
 and more distant. Ignorant and illiterate per- 
 sons always feel very uncomfortable in the com- 
 pany of learned and scientific men, therefore 
 Herschel only annoys that description of persons 
 who take no delight in curious pursuits, or 
 scientific studies. Experience and observation 
 will contribute more towards discovering the 
 
108 ADDRESS 
 
 truth, when sought for by many persons, than 
 any single individual can accomplish, therefore 
 I do not presume upon my own limited experience 
 of those matters ; upon the same principle I 
 advise the student, if he feels inclined to discover 
 the signiflcators of vicious tricks, or sudden acci- 
 dents of the lesser order, let him observe the 
 longitude, latitude, and declination of Juno, and 
 particularly Ceres and Pallas, whose periods of 
 revolution do not differ much from each other. 
 As to the nature of the small lucid planet Vesta, 
 I think it will be found to represent things of a I 
 pure religious and unadulterated nature, that I 
 which pure intense white signifies. 1 speak I 
 allegorically astrological in this matter, as I am J 
 well aware that experience and practice, as 
 alluded to before, will expound all these pro- 
 positions, however strange they may appear 
 in some persons ideas ; yet I hope there are 
 those whose abilities far exceed my humble en- 
 deavours, will not condemn before they give 
 these things a fair trial, and then impartially 
 declare as much with such other useful informa-

 tion, as will direct the worthy student in those 
 studies to greater perfection than is known at 
 present. 
 
 I have had the honour to peruse part of a 
 MS. work intended to he published, which un- 
 folds the ancient mysteries of mythology, astro- 
 logy, and other sciences, proving that the fables 
 of ancient mythology were written with an alle- 
 gorical meaning and signification. The beauty 
 and scientific simplicity of language, with which 
 the celebrated and talented author of Zodiacal 
 Physiognomy conveys al] his explanations to the 
 minds of the readers, is in a pleasing and instruc- 
 tive manner. In the MS. the illustration of the 
 figurative and allegorical stories recorded in 
 ancient mythology, will be a very valuable ac- 
 quisition to all persons, especially to students 
 in these sciences. 
 
 The tables of the longitude of the planets' 
 ascending and descending nodes, are calculated 
 for every five degrees of the Sun's motion through 
 the different signs of the Zodiac; by a little 
 attention to the simple manner in which it is 
 arranged, the student will be enabled very easily

 to find the proportional motion of the nodes for 
 any degree or minute of the solar place, between 
 these periods. We consider an example quite 
 unnecessary : the author would have calculated 
 them for every degree, but that would increase the 
 size of the tables more than the limits of this 
 work will allow. If experience and experiments 
 should establish the use of these propositions, 
 the author, at a future period, may be induced 
 to pay more attention to the accommodation 
 of students, and furnish them with more volu- 
 minous tables on these subjects. The places 
 of the nodes will not differ much for 30 years 
 past, or for 30 years to come, from these tables, 
 if 1 5 minutes are added to 30 years to come, 
 and subtracted from 30 years past, the places 
 of the superior nodes will be found nearly correct 
 and in that proportion. The longitude of the 
 planet Herschel will also be useful to the stu- 
 dent in order to find his place in the nativity of 
 any person that has been born during the 
 eighteenth century, which has been much wanted 
 by astrologers. The student will be enabled to 
 find out the signification of Herschel by this

 means, if he notices the position and directions 
 of this planet, in the nativities of great or emi- 
 nent men born during that period, and since that 
 period up to the present time.

 ASTROLOGY, PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 
 
 Locke in his Epistle, speaking of new doc- 
 trines, says, " Truth scarce ever carried it by 
 vote any where at its first appearance ; new opi- 
 nions are always suspected and usually opposed, 
 without any other reason, but because they are 
 not already common. But truth, like gold, is not 
 the less so, for being newly brought out of the 
 mine. 'Tis trial and examination must give it 
 price, and not antique fashion ; and though it be 
 not yet current by the public stamp, yet it may 
 for all that be as old as nature, and is certainly 
 not the less genuine." This appears applicable 
 to the present work, the subject of which it treats 
 is as old as nature; how particular (says Lavater) 
 we ought to be, to unveil our own hearts and 
 
124 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 our own temperaments, before we can judge of 
 others, as we can only know others in proportion 
 to the knowledge we possess of ourselves. 
 There are many things in this life which 
 conduce to afford us happiness, but there is 
 nothing more essential thereto than a knowledge 
 of human nature. Some persons contend that 
 it is impossible to study the various temperaments 
 and dispositions of individuals, and also doubt 
 the possibility of laying down correct rules to 
 guide the judgments of those who feel disposed 
 to make such inquiries ; whilst others are of the 
 opposite opinion, and prove that it is possible by 
 study, theory, practice, and experience to guide 
 the inquiring student (having a sound mind) to 
 obtain such a knowledge of animals and human 
 beings, as will appear truly astonishing to 
 those who are unacquainted with such rules. 
 But indolence, prejudice, and ignorance will 
 continually present obstacles in the way of 
 science, which can only be removed by industry, 
 ability, and perseverance. Persons are often 
 surprised at the ignorance of their friends or 
 acquaintance, who are not acquainted with the 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 125 
 
 nature of the various animals and their natural 
 propensities ; it is certain that some animals of 
 the same species differ in a greater or less degree 
 from each other. If a knowledge of the brute 
 creation is essential for man to be acquainted 
 with, and their various instincts and propensities, 
 their organic uses and abuses, no person will, 
 for a moment, doubt the propriety of our study- 
 ing the nature, constitution, disposition, and 
 qualities of mankind, and, particularly, of those 
 persons with whom we hold conversation or have 
 transactions in business, with the nature and 
 disposition of those on whom, perhaps, our 
 future happiness or misery may depend. 
 
 The sweet intellectual pleasures that are to be 
 enjoyed in friendly society, and our daily and 
 hourly transactions awaken us to the importance 
 of such knowledge. All persons are aware of 
 the difference that exists in the dispositions, 
 manners and habits of their friends or acquaint- 
 ances ; there are times we perceive that par- 
 ticular persons resemble other individuals in 
 appearance and also in habits to a certain extent, 
 and we often judge of persons by the contour of the 
 l 2 
 
1*26 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 head, the form of body, or figure, the gait, and 
 a variety of peculiarities that are often remark- 
 able ; if this is a fact well known to the unlearned, 
 how often must the man of penetration and 
 learning be assured of its existence. Phrenolo- 
 gists consider man by himself, and also compare 
 him with other animals. When the lower animals 
 manifest the same feelings and propensities as 
 those displayed by man, the faculties which 
 produce them are said to be common to both ; 
 ancient philosophers have compared the nature of 
 animals to that of man, and the nature of men 
 to certain animals and birds. Phrenologists, 
 (Drs. Gall and Spurzheim,) have discovered that 
 the general organic arrangement of the brain in 
 animals of the brute creation, and birds, are found 
 to shew the various propensities natural to them, 
 and correspond to a certain extent with the cere- 
 bral developement in mankind. If there was no 
 other defence in vindication of the science of 
 phrenology than that of men possessing the 
 learning and abilities of Drs. Gall and Spurzheim, 
 who would not risk their reputation for the 
 gratification of an evil propensity by leading 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 127 
 
 mankind into error ; can any reasonable man 
 suppose that Dr. Combe would have wasted his 
 time and abilities in writing a splendid and 
 compendious treatise on the discoveries of Drs. 
 Gall and Spurzheim, and his own, on the subject 
 of phrenology ? Does it appear reasonable that 
 eminent physicians and gentlemen, whose abilities 
 we cannot doubt, would also expend their time 
 and abilities, as their learned predecessors did, to 
 study a science unworthy of their attention ? 
 The rules of the science are open to every man 
 who has abilities to satisfy himself as to its utility 
 and truth, by consulting the works of Drs. Gall 
 and Spurzheim, and the latest edition of Dr. 
 Combe's treatise on phrenology, and after he 
 becomes acquainted with the theory of the science, 
 he need only put it in practice to be perfectly 
 convinced in favour of its doctrine. It has 
 always been the desire of both ancient and modern 
 philosophers to promote the happiness of man- 
 kind on a solid foundation. I am persuaded that 
 nothing will tend more decidedly to achieve this 
 object than a certain knowledge of the ancient 
 sciences of astrology, astronomy, phrenology

128 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 and physiognomy united in the same individual ; 
 and they, as they are the offspring of the same 
 parent, bear testimony to the resemblance of 
 each other in different bodies, in order to promote 
 the same end, viz., a knowledge of divine 
 
 AND HUMAN NATURE. 
 
 Astrology is a science founded on astronomy 
 and the motions, aspects and positions of the 
 heavenly bodies, together with the ancient signi- 
 fication of the constellations, and eminent fixed 
 stars, according to their situation in or on the 
 ecliptic ; as observed during centuries of experi- 
 ments, at the birth of an individual ; at the time 
 of asking a question for the result of any parti- 
 cular event ; for the state of the sick : or, to 
 discover the strength of a kingdom or nation, 
 from a chart of the heavens erected for the 
 exact moment that the sun enters the equinoctial 
 or tropical signs. The first is termed natal 
 astrology, the second horary astrology, the third 
 physical astrology, and the last state astrology. 
 
 Natal astrology teaches us by certain mathe- 
 matical rules to judge of the form and temperament 
 of the individual ; the blemishes, hurts, and 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 129 
 
 mental and bodily diseases ; the quality of the 
 intellectual faculties and animal propensities ; the 
 probability of riches or poverty ; the eminence 
 and dignity to which the native may be elevated; 
 the probability of friends and enemies, their 
 nature and description ; of marriage ; offspring ; 
 strength of constitution ; natural disposition ; 
 and many of the most remarkable periods of life, 
 either advantageous or disadvantageous, &c. &c, 
 and in various instances the length of life has 
 been most correctly calculated by those who are 
 proficients therein. 
 
 Phrenology is a science founded on the 
 formation and functions of the brain. In certain 
 compartments on the surface of the brain, the 
 organs of the different faculties, sentiments, and 
 propensities are developed, which the external 
 surface of the head discovers ; and in proportion 
 to the number and strength of the different 
 organs, so does the phrenologist give his opinion, 
 on the intellectual faculties, moral sentiments, and 
 animal propensities. It is extremely useful to 
 ascertain the exact abilities, inclinations, and dis- 
 positions of individuals ; the propriety of appoint- 
 
 Kfr 
 
130 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 ing men to certain situations and studies, in 
 which they are most likely to distinguish them- 
 selves to their own advancement, and for the 
 general good. It harmonises with astrology, in 
 that portion which treats of the intellectual, 
 moral, and animal qualities, and the probability 
 of arriving at eminence in the world, acquisitive- 
 ness or riches, and in several other points which 
 experience and practice alone can decide. 
 
 Physiognomy is a science which teaches us to 
 form ideas of the dispositions and natural pro- 
 pensities of mankind, on beholding the counte- 
 nance, and judging from the lines, curves, profiles 
 and proportion of the various features of the face, 
 the form of each feature taken separately and 
 collectively, to which they often add the profile of 
 the whole head and body. Physiognomists also 
 assist their judgment in a variety of ways, by 
 observing the manners of individuals on various 
 occasions, their gait, and from the general per- 
 sonal appearance. It is said that " the counte- 
 nance is the index of the mind, which can be read 
 by observation, study and experience ;" every 
 person is a physiognomist to a certain extent. 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 131 
 
 There have been many objections raised against 
 these sciences, generally by persons who are 
 totally ignorant of the rules, theory and practice 
 of the science they universally condemn ; persons 
 who have any idea of the manner in which we are 
 generally educated, will not feel surprised that 
 early prejudice is usually a substitute for mathe- 
 matical investigation, particularly if the subject 
 should be a little beyond the common run of 
 things, it is denounced immediately as visionary 
 or impious. Paley says in his Moral Philosophy 
 that, " to send an uneducated child into the 
 world is injurious to the rest of mankind ; it is 
 little better than to turn out a mad dog or a wild 
 beast into the streets. The health and virtue of 
 a child's future life is a consideration superior to 
 all others." If Paley is right, the parents or 
 teachers of young persons ought to be well read 
 in the ancient science of astrology, and the 
 useful and important science of phrenology, by 
 this means the parents or teachers will be 
 enabled to perceive in what business or science 
 the abilities of the child will be found most useful. 
 The astrologian is aware that if the planet 
 
132 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 •Mercury is afflicted, impedited, and combust, at 
 the birth of an individual, that the intellectual 
 faculties of that individual will be unfit for study, 
 but may be fit for business where great abilities 
 are not requisite ; the phrenologist will perceive 
 the deficiency of those organs necessary for study, 
 and the physiognomist will discover a vacancy in 
 countenance in proportion to the inability ; a 
 proficient in each science would thus be capable 
 of giving the same judgment, and thus these 
 sciences act in union or harmony with each 
 other. It must appear as cruelty to the individual, 
 and prove injurious to the general welfare, by 
 endeavouring to educate men for situations or 
 professions which from their natural organization 
 they are incapable to fill. An astrologian would 
 consider it vanity to expect a man could rise to 
 great honour in the world whose nativity is 
 unfortunate and obscure ; it is equally vain to 
 expect benevolence to exist in a man because he 
 has wealth, when the organ of benevolence is 
 deficient. The ancients displayed great judg- 
 ment in the appointment of their public officers. 
 The mischief that results to society at large by a 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 133 
 
 neglect of those sciences in this respect is exten- 
 sive, indeed we ought not to be surprised at the 
 many examples both in ancient and modern times, 
 of the world rejecting with the most intolerable 
 tyranny and ridicule, that which is intended for 
 their advantage. It is the priests of the Esta- 
 blished Churches, by various acts contrary to 
 their profession, who have brought religion into 
 disrepute. 
 
 Persons who are appointed to public stations 
 should certainly undergo a scientific examination, 
 as in ancient times, when the honour of the country, 
 and public fidelity were considered superior to 
 private motives. Can we expect a man, whose 
 animal propensities predominate, or the man who 
 has the organ of conscientiousness small, acquisi- 
 tiveness large, and benevolence deficient, to be 
 a fit and proper person to fill an office in the 
 Church, or even any office of trust. We 
 ought not to expect impossibilities when we hear 
 of a man placed in such a situation, unsuitable 
 to his natural propensities or disposition to fill, 
 and should rather pity than censure him, espe- 
 cially when we consider what he must have en- 
 M 
 
134 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 dured under this organisation, being contrary to 
 the quality of the office he had to sustain ; the 
 person that appoints the individual in this case, 
 ought to be made the responsible person, for if 
 the said individual had been placed in a situation 
 which the science of Astrology, Phrenology, and 
 Physiognomy, would dictate, there is every pro- 
 bability that he would fill that situation with 
 credit to himself, and advantage to his employers. 
 Tiberius Csesar was well skilled in Astronomy 
 and Astrology, (he was taught by Tharasyllus, 
 during his recess or exile at Rhodes) he was 
 correct in his predictions of future events ; on 
 inspection of Gabiris nativity (when he was a 
 youth,) Tiberius foretold that he should one day 
 be an Emperor. He had always by him the ge- 
 nitures of all his nobility, and according as he 
 found his own, or the kingdom 9 s horoscope to be 
 affected, or aspected, or beheld by theirs, so he 
 let them remain or cut them off accordingly. 
 Hippocrates and Galen wrote on the judgment 
 of diseases and cures, by the rules of Astrology. 
 Josephus relates of Berosus the Chaldean, that 
 he left it recorded that among the Chaldeans, he 
 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 135 
 
 observed Astronomical Ephemerides for four 
 hundred and eighty years, inscribed on baked 
 bricks and tiles ; he also signalised himself by his 
 astrological predictions. The Athenians rewarded 
 him for his learning, with a statue in the gym- 
 nasium at Athens. Epigenes Byzantinus, being 
 an author of credit, has recorded that amongst 
 the Babylonians, there were found Ephemerides 
 containing observations of the stars for the space 
 of seven hundred and eighty years, inscribed on 
 tablets of brick and tiles ; the same author wrote 
 with correctness on comets. The Roman Empe- 
 ror Adrianus, was well skilled in Astronomy, 
 and particularly in judicial Astrology, he used to 
 erect an astrological chart of the heavens in the 
 calends of January, for the purpose of knowing 
 what should happen to him during the whole 
 year. Thales, one of the seven wise men of 
 Greece, flourished nearly 600 years before the 
 Christian Era, and, like other philosophers, he 
 travelled in quest of wisdom ; by the priests of 
 Memphis he was taught geometry, astronomy, 
 astrology, and philosophy, he nearly measured 
 the vast height and extent of a pyramid, by 
 
136 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 its shadow, he was the first that calculated an 
 eclipse of the Sun with accuracy, he discovered 
 the solstices and equinoxes, he divided the hea- 
 vens into 5 zones, and recommended by the Egyp- 
 tian philosophy, the division of the year into 365 
 days, which is a proof of the ancient learning in 
 astronomy and astrology. Pythagoras flou- 
 rished more than 500 years before the Christian 
 era, he made the occult sciences his private 
 study. In Egypt and Chaldea, he gained the 
 confidence of the priests, and learned from them 
 the symbolic characters and mystic learning of 
 the ancients. His skill in music, medicine, 
 mathematics, and natural philosophy, gained 
 him friends and admirers. He considered pro- 
 portionate numbers the principles of every thing, 
 and perceived in the universe regularity, corres- 
 pondence, beauty, proportion, and harmony, 
 intentionally produced by the Creator ; it is wor- 
 thy of remark that the most accurate calculations 
 and observations of modern Astronomers, proves 
 that his system of the universe was perfectly 
 correct, viz., the Sun as the centre, and all the 
 planets moving in elliptical orbits round it ; but 
 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 137 
 
 this idea was considered as chimerical and im- 
 probable by persons in those days ; yet there 
 are many persons who attempt to deny that 
 the ancients were acquainted with the periods 
 and motions of the heavenly bodies, however, 
 it is quite certain the present system was known 
 two thousand three hundred years ago. Zoro- 
 aster, king of Bactria, was a great philosopher 
 and astronomer, he lived 2460 years before the 
 Christian era ; another of that name, and the 
 restorer of the religion of the Magii, is fixed at 
 590 years before the Christian era; both were 
 astrologers. Thales, Pythagoras, Socrates, and 
 all the philosophers derived their information and 
 knowledge, by their own abilities and perseverance, 
 and from the instructions of the priests who pre- 
 sided in the temples of learning in ancient days. 
 It appears that no persons were admitted to study 
 in those temples or colleges, except those who 
 •proved themselves worthy and possessed capacity 
 to appreciate and understand the mysteries and 
 learning of the ancients. We are quite at a loss 
 in forming an idea of the extent of their learning, 
 so many valuable libraries being destroyed by 
 m 2 
 
138 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 various accidents and destructive conquerors ; 
 the ancients would rather make any sacrifice than 
 permit their learning to fall into the hands of the 
 vulgar, therefore we cannot say whether they 
 understood Phrenology or not, neither can we 
 assert that they were ignorant thereof ; the an- 
 cients being such close observers of nature, we 
 ought rather to suppose that they were well ac- 
 quainted with both Phrenology and Physiognomy, 
 and many other sciences of which we have no idea. 
 Pythagoras taught that the most ample and 
 perfect gratification was to be found in the en- 
 joyment of moral and intellectual pleasures, and 
 in order to suit the mind for such qualities, and 
 to render virtue possible in practice as well as in 
 theory, recommended that the tender years of his 
 disciples should be employed in continual labour, 
 in study, in exercise, and in repose, for unless 
 young persons are continually employed in body 
 and mind, indolence with all its baneful influence, 
 will destroy the perfection of both body and 
 mind. Studies in either moral and intellectual 
 pursuits, if continued for too long a period will 
 produce a diseased body and a disordered mind ; 
 

 PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 139 
 
 scarcely any individual is organised in the same 
 manner exactly as another, which in some man- 
 ner accounts for the difference of dispositions ; in 
 some men the intellectual faculties, in others the 
 moral sentiments, and in most men the animal 
 propensities are strongly developed ; some are 
 strong and healthy, and others are weak and 
 sickly in their constitutions, it is useful and ne- 
 cessary for the student to ascertain the extent of 
 his abilities. It appears from the study of Phre- 
 nology, that exercise of both body and mind is 
 absolutely necessary to preserve the health of both, 
 if we neglect to cultivate bodily activity and 
 strength, we become unfit for the necessary oc- 
 cupations of life, if we neglect our intellectual 
 and moral faculties, we shall become unfit for 
 society, and burthensome to ourselves. " The 
 brain, (says Combe) is the fountain of nervous 
 energy to the whole body, many persons are 
 habitual invalids, without actually labouring under 
 any ordinary or recognised disease, solely from 
 defective or irregular exercise of the nervous 
 system. The best mode of increasing the strength 
 and energy of any organ and function is to exer- 
 
140 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 cise them regularly and judiciously, according to 
 the laws of their constitution ; punishment 
 is the inevitable consequence of disobeying the 
 organic laws of our constitution, therefore the 
 more intimately a man becomes acquainted with 
 his own organisation, the nearer will he be able 
 to judge of others, and the happier and more 
 contented he is likely to be himself." I verily 
 believe that there is nothing new under the sun, 
 and that the nature of mankind was cultivated by 
 the ancients to far greater perfection than many are 
 likely to credit at present, they not only culti- 
 vated the mind, but also paid particular attention 
 to the health and strength of the body, in pro- 
 portion as the animal health, strength, and spi- 
 rits decline, so does the functions of the mind 
 become enfeebled and unfit for the exercise of 
 those abilities which an individual is known to 
 possess in a sound state of health. " What ob- 
 structions are to be found (says Lavater) in the 
 way of improvement, from the nature of our 
 climates, in the forms of our government and 
 education, in the polish and insincerity of our 
 manners, the unsubstantial aliments, the closeness 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 141 
 
 and heat of our apartments, the general use of 
 pernicious liquors, all concur alas to extinguish 
 the poor remains of vigour transmitted to us 
 from our fathers.'' Locke in his thoughts on 
 education, says, u A sound mind in a sound body, 
 is a short but full description of a happy state 
 in this world, he that wants either of these, will 
 be little the better of any thing else.'* 
 
 A smatterer in physiognomy, whose mind is 
 feeble and his heart corrupted, is in the opinion 
 of Lavater the most contemptible of beings ; it 
 is certain that the student who is anxious to 
 learn physiognomy, must in the first place cast 
 off all prejudice, his eye must not be evil, his 
 health and mind must not be impaired, he must 
 know the effects of a sympathetic feeling, and 
 the language of the eyes and countenance ; con- 
 versant with the different temperaments of various 
 classes of individuals, he must associate in all 
 conditions of society, he ought not to limit his 
 acquaintance to one circle, he should associate 
 with artists and those having a knowledge of 
 man, perfection in physiognomy is not to be at- 
 tained without long experience and experiments, 
 
142 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 combined with the assistance of phrenology and 
 astrology. There have been many arguments urged 
 against the physiognomical opinions of different 
 individuals. Particularly because Zopyrus the 
 physiognomist said that Socrates was naturally 
 of a licentious disposition, and that his heart 
 was the most depraved, immodest, and corrupt, 
 that ever was in the human breast, — this opinion 
 nearly cost the physiognomist his life ; but 
 Socrates declared that his assertions were tiue, 
 and that he had corrected and curbed all his 
 vicious propensities by means of reason. The 
 opinion of Zopyrus does not condemn the science 
 of physiognomy, but shews that he was too 
 hasty in giving his judgment, and that if Zopyrus 
 were as well acquainted with phrenology or with 
 astrology as he was with physiognomy, that 
 he would not have erred in his opinion of that 
 great Philosopher; it is also an argument in favour 
 of the utility of combining the knowledge of 
 each ; there are some phrenologists that cultivate 
 a knowledge of physiognomy, and find a very 
 satisfactory result. The countenance generally 
 shews the emotions of the mind ; it is not easy, says 
 
 _ 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 143 
 
 a physiognomist, to screen dissimulation from the 
 observer, we know the individual cannot change his 
 bony outline, or the colour of his hair and eve- 
 brows; as a man can only do what he is capable 
 of, because capacity is limited to a point at which 
 it ceases, the physiognomist must know that the 
 source of a great deal of disappointment proceeds 
 from our expecting more than persons are able to 
 grant, or capable to fulfil. Can honesty be ex- 
 pected from a knave, or roguish actions to belong 
 to an honest man ? It is certain that some men 
 lose by being seen too near, and the same men 
 gain by a more intimate knowledge of them, there 
 is no man so bad but that he may possess some 
 good qualities ; an imperfect knowledge of man is 
 the foundation of intolerance. Men of bad 
 habits themselves, or those who have been often 
 deceived bv persons, are usually apt to think evil 
 of others, on the other hand good men consider 
 mankind generally better than they really are ; 
 as a general rule this is most valuable, " judge of 
 the tree by the fruit," pear trees do not produce 
 apples, neither does the apple tree produce 
 plums, every thing in nature produces and acts 
 
144 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 according to its quality, kind, and disposition. 
 Run over the whole kingdom of nature with a 
 rapid eye (says Voltaire), or confine yourself to a 
 comparison of a few of her productions, no 
 matter which, and you will find in all a confir- 
 mation of this truth, That there is a constant 
 harmony between internal powers and external 
 sig?is. 
 
 Many persons have expressed surprise that the 
 early years of Socrates should have been spent in 
 drunkennese and disorderly propensities until he 
 arrived at 24 years of age. It is very easily 
 accounted for in astrology, thedegreess of the sign 
 on his ascendant being run up to another sign, the 
 planets in his nativity changing their signs from the 
 earthy, and watery trigons to the aerial, and fiery, 
 fixed, and cardinal, which is frequently conspicuous 
 in nativities, where the significators and aspects 
 are powerful : changing the course of life from 
 strong evil propensities to powerful and good 
 qualities, seeing that the concourse of good 
 primary and secondary directions, in his nativity 
 effected a different organization in the phreno- 
 logical point of view, by a powerful developement 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 145 
 
 of the intellectual and moral faculties. Phre- 
 nologists have found the organs that at one 
 period are obscure, in time become strongly de- 
 veloped, this proves the truth of the quotation, 
 " There is a constant/' &c. Phrenologists have 
 often observed a great alteration in several organs 
 between 2 3 and 30 years of age. This is an 
 age at which the phrenologist will be most certain 
 in his opinion on this subject, and of course 
 when a change takes place in the developement 
 of the faculties and propensities, we are to expect 
 an alteration in the disposition, the countenances 
 of men undergo great changes and alterations, 
 and in fact we all change with our years, the 
 ideas of the child are different from the young 
 man, and the young man differs from the middle 
 aged, and from the old man ; the same individual 
 undergoes as many changes as the planets that 
 rule those ages are different in quality, as the 
 D rules the 1st age, g 2nd, $ 3rd, © 4th, $ 5th, 
 % 6th, h and y 7th. In harmony with the 
 changes of man, the planets are continually chang- 
 ing their places in the ecliptic, all moving on in the 
 same order, continually changing every circum- 
 
 N 
 
146 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 tance and day different from every other. Physio- 
 gnomy is one of the studies which an astrologer is 
 obliged to be acquainted with, in order to distinguish 
 the sort of person signified by the various planets, 
 not only are different classes of persons signified 
 by the same planet, caused by the aspects the 
 planet receives, but also from the nature of the 
 different signs of the zodiac in which the planet 
 is situated, therefore phrenology is found to 
 harmonise with astrology. — Astrological and 
 zodiacal physiognomy has long been observed 
 and often used to assist in the rectification of a 
 nativity, when the time of birth is not exactly 
 known. So precisely is the difference percep- 
 tible, that an astrologer of experience can discover 
 nearly the degree or part of the sign which as- 
 cended at the birth of the individual, as judged 
 from the peculiarity of the countenance and 
 personal appearance of the individual. The 
 erudite author of the Zodiacal Physiognomy 
 in one part of that valuable work says, " Those 
 persons who are born under the signs of the 
 watery and earthy trigons, often bear some re- 
 semblance to foreigners ; whilst those born under 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 147 
 
 the signs of the fiery triplicity (which gives fair 
 persons) are particularly characteristic of the 
 English nation, which is under the sign Aries. '' 
 Not only does particular individuals partake of 
 the physiognomy of the signs and planets that 
 ascend or preside at birth, but nations are ruled 
 and signified by the different signs of the zodiac ; 
 as, England is signified by the sign Aries, 
 Ireland by Taurus, and cities are also signified 
 by the signs ; Rome under the regal sign Leo, and 
 London by Gemini, particularly from the 10th 
 to the 24th degree ; now if evil planets afflict 
 these signs, the kingdoms, or cities, and nations 
 are known to suffer, which is particularly observed 
 in what is called state astrology. Mr. Varley 
 has given several plates and figures in his work 
 to describe the peculiarities that belong to each 
 trigon. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, the fiery 
 trigon; Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn the earthy; 
 Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, the aerial trigon ; 
 Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces the watery trigon. 
 li By far the less numerous portion of society is 
 born under the fiery and aerial signs ; the world in 
 its dispositions and habits, are governed chiefly by 
 
148 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 the earthy and melancholic saturnine, and the 
 watery phlegmatic signs ; while the superior 
 princes and nobles of the world, and the sublime 
 and poetical writers, painters, and composers, 
 emanate from the fiery and regal trigon ; and 
 under the humane and courteous aerial signs, 
 Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, are mostly pro- 
 duced the professors and instructors of music, 
 the fine arts, and the ceremonies and embellish- 
 ments of life and civilization.' ' 
 
 We have shewn that there is an inseparable 
 harmony between the science of phrenology and 
 physiognomy ; a thousand cases may be cited ; 
 such as that of Socrates and Zopyrus, which proves, 
 that to give a judgment in one or the other, 
 both must be consulted, which is a rule observed 
 by a few phrenologists that are very correct in 
 their opinions on the dispositions of individuals ; 
 an harmony no less striking between the astrolo- 
 gical judgment of the form and dispositions of 
 the planetary significations, of the celestial signs 
 of the zodiac, of phrenology and of physiognomy, 
 in fact physiognomy and phrenology cannot be 
 separated. Neither can the astrological signifi- 
 
 I 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 149 
 cators of persons differ from the meaning of 
 phrenological and physiognomical rules, both 
 thereof treating of individuals ; the one assists the 
 other, and by the unity of each renders the mind 
 more competent to judge with accuracy, causing 
 us to use mathematical demonstration, beyond 
 which there can exist no doubt. This subject is 
 so varied, and the field of comparison so wide, 
 that it is with difficulty that I can confine myself 
 within the prescribed limits ; however, I cannot 
 refrain from suggesting an idea that occurred to 
 me one day, on observing the cast of a head facing 
 the east, and divided into various compartments 
 used for phrenological purposes. There appears 
 a great analogy between the compartments or 
 organs as arranged in position by phrenologists, 
 and those of the heavens as divided by astrolo- 
 gers ; they divide the diurnal arc of the heavens 
 which is above the earth, from the eastern to the 
 western horizon, into six divisions or compart- 
 ments, and the nocturnal arc from the western 
 horizon under the earth to the eastern horizon, 
 also into six divisions or compartments, called in 
 astrol ogv houses. These divisions of the equator 
 
 N 2 
 
150 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 passing through the poles of the world, contain 
 30 degrees, each making 12 houses, six houses 
 above the horizon and six houses under the hori- 
 zon ; just by the same reason as phrenologists 
 call the compartments of the head the place or 
 locality of the organs, so are those houses the 
 place of locality for the signs and planetary bo- 
 dies therein, just as they happen to be situated. 
 There are four principal houses and cardinal 
 points called angles ; the cusp of the first house 
 or ascendant, the east point or angle ; the tenth 
 house, zenith, or south angle ; the seventh house, 
 or western horizon or angle; the fourth house or 
 nadir and north angle of the figure. Astrolo- 
 gers, according to Ptolemy, consider the eastern 
 hemisphere to be the superior portion of the 
 heavens, being far more powerful, famous, and 
 active than the western ; because in the eastern 
 grand division the planets and stars are always 
 ascending when in this part of the heavens, and 
 introducing themselves into public notice, which 
 division is termed oriental, and the western divi- 
 sion is called occidental. In order to put this 
 idea to the test we perceive, according to the 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY, 151 
 
 rules of phrenology, that the division of the brain, 
 situated from the orifice of the ear forward to- 
 wards the east, is the most superior part of the 
 brain, containing the intellectual and moral facul- 
 ties, and the posterior part of the brain, from the 
 orifice of the ear towards the west angle, to con- 
 tain the organs of the animal propensities and 
 inferior region of the brain ; which, in the first 
 instance was an encouragement to proceed : we 
 are led to compare that, as the development of 
 organs in the front part of the head conduce to 
 the more illustrious advancement in this world, 
 so do planets in this part of the heavens, accord- 
 ing to astrological doctrine, promote the same 
 object. Again, phrenologists divide the brain 
 into three general spheres of faculties ; the intel- 
 lectual faculties, the moral sentiments, and the 
 animal propensities, and as either of these great 
 compartments exceed in development, quantity 
 and quality, so does the principal action of each 
 come into operation according to size, weight, 
 and configuration. Astrologers, according to 
 Ptolemy, say that the intellectual faculties are 
 governed by the planet Mercury, as first ruler 
 
152 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 and significator ; the moral and religious senti- 
 ments under the dominion of the benevolent 
 planet Jupiter ; and the animal inclinations and 
 propensities under the influence of the Moon ; 
 and inasmuch as those planets harmonize and 
 agree with each other in what is called good 
 aspect of position, in proportionate and agreeable 
 figures, so is perfection conferred upon the mind 
 of the individual. If the testimonies are discor- 
 dant or contrary, either in quality, position, or 
 quantity, amongst each other, and as they are 
 afflicted by the evil influence of the malific pla- 
 nets, so does the mind suffer in point of endow- 
 ments, inclinations, and propensities. Inasmuch 
 as the planet Mercury is ruler of the intellectual 
 faculties, so Venus is a co-ruler governing me- 
 lody, joy, wit, tune, and assisting the intellectual 
 faculties. These planets, when combined in com- 
 mendable positions, bearing testimony to each 
 other, and in good aspect with Jupiter, the Sun, 
 or Moon, or each of them, the intellectual endow- 
 ment is very superior ; if Mercury and Venus 
 are in good aspect to Mars (or the organ of com- 
 bativeness, in phrenology), it confers a great 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 153 
 
 acuteness to the intellectual faculties, giving a 
 spirit and determination to carry those good qua- 
 lities into effect with a martial and firm resolu- 
 tion. The Sun is co-ruler with the planet Ju- 
 piter of the moral and religious qualities or sen- 
 timents, and Saturn and Mars are co-rulers with 
 the Moon over the animal propensities and incli- 
 nations, as the planet Venus harmonizes with 
 the planet Mercury in ruling the intellectual fa- 
 culties, so does the Sun harmonise with the planet 
 Jupiter as co-ruler of the moral sentiments. The 
 vSun usually personates, according to the rules of 
 astrology, kings, princes, judges, and all superior 
 persons, and is significator of honour and gran- 
 deur, the Sun being the centre of the solar system, 
 the great fountain of heat and light. The planet 
 Jupiter is significator of the dignitaries of the 
 church, priests, judges, truth, benevolence, 
 justice, religion, &c. Do not these two most 
 ponderous bodies of the solar system inspire us 
 with wonder, marvellousness, hope, veneration, 
 consentiousness, and benevolence ? Both have 
 been worshipped in former ages by the common 
 people as gods ; the planet Jupiter as the god of 
 
J 54 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 benevolence and justice, and the Sun as the sole 
 life and spirit of the heavens, which will be found 
 to harmonise in signification with the organs be- 
 longing to the moral sentiments as arranged by 
 phrenologists. The co-significators of the ani- 
 mal propensities are the planets Saturn (ruling 
 the organ of destructiveness), and Mars (ruling 
 the organ of combativeness) ; the planet Saturn 
 effects destruction by secretiveness, coldness, de- 
 liberation, and death ; but Mars by violence, 
 fury, and combativeness. If these organs are 
 strongly developed, and the lunar region also 
 extensive, destruction and murder will most 
 likely result from the combined influence or testi- 
 monies of the animal powers and organs when 
 brought into operation ; but if the planets Mer- 
 cury and Venus are in power, and in a friendly 
 aspect or position, with the planet Jupiter and the 
 Sun, predominating in quality and quantity over 
 the animal development, then will the action, of 
 the good faculties overcome the evil propensities, 
 just as the phrenologist says that the intellectual 
 faculties and moral sentiments are more strongly 
 formed and developed than the animal propensi- 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 155 
 
 ties, consequently it is an argument in favour of 
 the actions of such. an individual. This subject, 
 alone, would require a volume to state the facts 
 requisite to class and define the analogy that 
 exists between astrology and phrenology. Many 
 persons are of opinion that a knowledge of these 
 sciences will elucidate many matters in natural 
 philosophy, which have not been taken into con- 
 sideration. 
 
 We shall proceed with the comparison of 
 the angles in the natal figure of the heavens, 
 and the organs that appear in the plate to 
 be located in them ; the eastern angle is termed 
 the ascendant, because the sun, stars, and planets 
 are first observed to ascend above the horizon in 
 this part of the heavens ; it is also called the 
 house of life, and often, according to the plane- 
 tary positions and signs in this house, defines the 
 zodiacal or planetary physiognomy of the indi- 
 vidual. When Mars is in this house he gene- 
 rally indicates a mark or scar on the face, accord- 
 ing to the number of mundane degrees in which 
 he is posited, either higher up or lower down on 
 the face. Venus in the ascendant at birth, par- 
 
156 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 ticularly if in the sign Libra, usually gives a 
 beautiful round face, inclining to oval, with a 
 dimple or other graceful mark on the counte- 
 nance. Mr, Varley, in his Zodiacal Physiog- 
 nomy, has given several specimens to illustrate 
 this part of physiognomy. 
 
 In this, the first house or ascendant, we notice 
 the perceptive faculties are located and exercised 
 to observe all things that ascend or present 
 themselves to our view, we judge of their weight, 
 resistance, colour, form, arrangement and order, 
 the quality of the ascendant maybe said to be- 
 long to this class ; individuality, love for variety, 
 and desire of being acquainted with ascending 
 or passing events, therefore these faculties are 
 based upon the eyes and language by which 
 they are brought into operation. This house 
 is also said to be the house of life, the nostrils 
 are located in this house, we are told in Genesis, 
 that "life was breathed into the nostrils of man 
 by his Creator, and he became a living soul ;'' 
 the eyes and the perceptive faculties are particu- 
 larly useful to man, in order to preserve his life, 
 and to defend his head and face from injuries 
 

 PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 1.57 
 
 and accidents, the eyes are continually on the 
 watch, assisted by language, and the ears, in order 
 to avert approaching danger, or to gratify the 
 intellectual or animal desires. The ears of man 
 are in trine to the eyes and perceptive faculties, 
 forming also a triangle by the chin, the poinfc or 
 end of things as regards the countenance, and 
 when strongly developed, this feature often adds 
 a shrewd sharpness to the decision and expres- 
 sions of the individual, and when ill proportioned 
 and not in character with the jaw-bone and face, 
 folly instead of shrewdness will be the result of 
 the individual's conclusions. It has been ob- 
 served by some persons acquainted with this 
 subject, that what Physiognomy declares, it is 
 very seldom entirely contradicted either by the 
 Phrenological or Astrological judgment, on the 
 contrary, most generally confirmed on a minute 
 and deliberate examination of each, which has 
 led me from various experiments to express my 
 opinion in favour of the harmony that exists 
 between these sciences. We shall next take the 
 south angle, zenith or mid-heaven, into conside- 
 ration. In astrology this angle signifies, pro- 
 o 
 
158 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 fession, dignity, the house of kings, princes, 
 governors, and all men in authority, the highest 
 degree of eminence in the figure, the angle of 
 honour ; and being in the highest point, and 
 midst of heaven, and in a spiritual sense of the 
 word, the Deity Himself; on reference to the 
 diagram, we perceive in this elevated angle of 
 the heavens, the moral sentiments ruled by the 
 planet Jupiter and the Sun are located here! 
 the organ of veneration, supported by the trine 
 on each side of marvellousness, or wonder, on 
 one side, and on the other side by the organs of 
 justice or conscientiousness. Astrologians and 
 theologians are well acquainted that the equilateral 
 triangle signifies harmony, perfection, and friend- 
 ship. It appears that this angle is not deficient 
 in bearing testimony to the analogy that exists 
 in the position of the Phrenological head with 
 the Astrological figure ; can any thing be more 
 classical than that the organ of veneration should 
 be located on the highest point of the head, and 
 in the midst of all the other faculties, which con- 
 cur to support and maintain this noble and 
 grateful sentiment ? In the astrological figure 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 159 
 
 this angle is situated in the highest point and 
 midst of heaven, being the tenth house thereof, 
 and preceded on one side by the ninth house, 
 the house of religion and science, and succeeded 
 by the eleventh house on the other side, the 
 house of friends, assistance, and hopes, so that 
 whether we consider the organs which surround 
 the organ of veneration, or the nature and sig- 
 nifications of the houses in aspect and on each 
 side the mid-heaven or south angle, we cannot 
 but feel convinced that a certain analogy exists, 
 which will become the more evident as we seek 
 to make the comparison of agreement. The 
 western angle is that part or division of the 
 heavens, in and above the point of the western 
 horizon, it is numbered the seventh house of 
 heaven by astrologers, and signifies the house 
 or compartment allotted for wife, husband, or 
 lovers, the persons with whom we are in partners, 
 the public foes, or open enemies of the native ; 
 it has also signification of the place we travel to, 
 or the house and country in which we wish to 
 reside ; a division of the posterior part of the 
 head and brain is located in this angle or astro- 
 
160 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 logical house. The nature of the animal pro- 
 pensities as arranged by phrenology appear to 
 correspond with the signification of this angle, 
 here we have the organ of inhabitiveness, or 
 concentrativeness, which imparts a strong desire 
 (when well developed) for some particular place, 
 person, an eagerness to settle in life, or to form 
 matrimonial alliance. Philoprogenitiveness or 
 love of offspring, is also located here, which has 
 a near affinity to the desire of lovers, partners, 
 or wives, the organ of attachment is also associ- 
 ated with this concourse in the western angle, and 
 seventh house, thus forming the social portion 
 of this angle. The organs combativeness and 
 destructiveness, are rather retired, but still in 
 the western field, and when these organs are 
 strongly developed, the public opponents and 
 open enemies of such individuals often feel the 
 effects of their utility, and when blended with 
 the moral and intellectual faculties, give a noble 
 and manly spirit to overcome every obstacle by 
 perseverance and activity, but when united with 
 the animal propensities, it inclines to overcome 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 161 
 
 difficulties by destruction, violence, persecution, 
 and sometimes death of the opposing party. 
 
 The nadir, or north angle, which is under the 
 earth and horizon, being perpendicular thereto, 
 and is the opposite point to the south angle ; 
 astrologers call this north angle the fourth house. 
 It is an occult house of the first order, wherein 
 things are hidden from our view and secret. It 
 is termed the Father's House of Life. Estates, 
 land, and houses, from the father; mines and 
 secret places, the wife's angle of honour. From 
 this angle the brain is supplied with blood by the 
 great arteries from this house, and from which 
 the nerves communicate their action to the brain, 
 by which means the whole system of phrenology 
 is brought into action, and the functions of the 
 brain are kept alive. It is generally allowed 
 that unless the act of a father concurs, the child 
 cannot be formed or produced, therefore if that 
 is the case there cannot be anything more appro- 
 priate than the fluids and nerves communicating 
 existence, are by this act brought into energy, 
 proceeding from the father's house of life or ex- 
 istence. This appears in order and harmony 
 o 2 
 
162 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 with the signification of both in the astrological 
 and phrenological point of view. The descen- 
 dants of royalty and kings are usually denoted by 
 or styled princes of the royal blood, which title 
 proceeds from the father's house, and that legiti- 
 mate honours usually proceed from this angle, 
 which applies both to nobles and commoners, 
 being descended from a high family or illustrious 
 parents, usually are attended with titles, land, 
 property, and possessions, proceeding from the 
 father's house or north angle. Now it appears 
 evident that the functions of the brain depend 
 entirely upon the support and assistance received 
 from this house or angle, in order to diffuse life 
 and energy to the whole system ; and as the sup- 
 ply from this angle is diminished in quantity or 
 vitiated in quality, so must the organization of 
 the individual suffer in a greater or less degree in 
 a phrenological point of view, and how this har- 
 monises as regards property, estates, possessions, 
 &c. inherited from the father or fourth house. 
 Astrology teaches us thus much regarding this 
 part of phrenology, that if the organs be ever so 
 well developed in the head and brain, that their 
 
PHRENOLOGY. AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 1(53 
 
 force, strength, power, and operation, will be 
 only in proportion as they are supplied from this 
 house, the nerves and arteries, and as regards 
 property and estates the quality of the blood and 
 nerves, and all things inherited from the father. 
 For instance, the organ of benevolence may be 
 strongly developed and associated with other 
 oood qualities, the intellectual and moral organs 
 in the brain of a man descended from obscure 
 parents in poverty, what would that avail for the 
 benefit of mankind at large? — it would actually 
 serve to make the poor man more miserable by 
 not having it in his power to act according to 
 his desire, which is bv no means an uncommon 
 circumstance. But let us suppose that the said 
 individual was born in an elevated position in 
 life, and supplied from this angle by his revenues, 
 land estates, &c. then this individual's good 
 qualities will become conspicuous, and have their 
 full effect to benefit his countrymen or fellow- 
 creatures. Not onlv is the strength and bodily 
 health of an individual to be taken into account 
 bv phrenologists, but the wealth and pecuniary 
 circumstances ou^ht at all times to be regarded. 
 
164 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 There are many men who are actually living in a 
 state of starvation and cannot form an idea of what 
 their organization is until they are supplied with 
 the necessary nourishment to bring the circula- 
 tion of the blood and the nervous system into 
 operation. We cannot doubt but many worthy 
 members of society are obscured from the view of 
 the world, in an intellectual point of view, and in 
 a worldly sense, despised, not for anything more 
 criminal than " poverty alone." But who is 
 there among us that is possessed of manly feelings, 
 who would not endeavour to advance the objects 
 of a science that teaches us to discern the valua- 
 ble portion of society, and to bring them into a 
 situation to benefit themselves, and at the same 
 time to promote the general good of society ? 
 Wealth is not always the attendant of wisdom, 
 virtue, and talented individuals ; it is most gene- 
 rally observed in those persons whose animal 
 propensities and acquisitiveness, self-esteem and 
 other organs in operation, make a rapid advance 
 in life, and obtain the good things thereof, whilst 
 the man of intellectual and moral endowments is 
 wading through difficulties and privations, per- 
 
PHUENOL' GV, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 165 
 
 haps labouring for the good of his fellow-crea- 
 tures, during the period that the other individual 
 is amassing riches, and indulging himself in all 
 manner of recreations and enjoyments. As the 
 rude and illiterate portions of society raise them- 
 selves in the world by accumulating wealth, it 
 proves to the man of learning that wealth is the 
 one thing needful : they do not scruple to call 
 such men mad and infatuated ; but when the 
 man of learning has got sufficient property to 
 supply his wants, the contrast of happiness 
 which he enjoys is far superior to any pleasure 
 the illiterate man is capable of imagining ; thus 
 is wisdom rewarded by leading us to true happi- 
 ness, which can only be derived from the exercise 
 of the intellectual faculties and moral sentiments, 
 all other enjoyments are merely transitory when 
 compared with it, according to the opinion of the 
 greatest philosophers. But to return to the sub- 
 ject ; we have only considered the analogy of the 
 angles with the head and brain, but if we were 
 to consider all the astrological houses we should 
 find that they all bear equal testimony to the first 
 idea thereof. 
 
166 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 In the second house of heaven we perceive the 
 mouth and chin located in this house, which 
 signifies riches, jewels, money, and moveable 
 goods, this organ chiefly belongs to the physiog- 
 nomist's consideration. Perhaps the portion of 
 the brain hidden from our view, and pointing to 
 this house, may shew the organic qualities 
 described by the mouth to the physiognomist; 
 the form of the mouth is considered one of the 
 most expressive features of the face. Men are 
 generally guided in their language and expres- 
 sions by the nature and extent of their riches or 
 wealth ; the boaster is known by the form of this 
 feature, the man capable of keeping a secret, and 
 the language of those who exult to degrade and 
 oppress those persons that misfortune has placed 
 in a capacity under them : the various forms of this 
 feature alone, with its signification, would require 
 the pen of a Shakspeare or a Byron to describe. 
 But in those who are fortunate enough to have a 
 well developed formation of mouth it will be found 
 to harmonize with the organ benevolence at one 
 point, and with amativeness or love in the other 
 point, in exact trine to each other; it will 
 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 167 
 
 generally be observed that when benevolence is 
 well developed and associated with other good 
 organs that the mouth of such individual is well 
 formed. Benevolence expressed by harmonious 
 language or words from the house of wealth 
 generally produces a noble effect. The third 
 house signifies relatives, neighbours, and short 
 journeys for business and pleasure; the under 
 part of the chin, throat, and jaw bone is located 
 in this division ; how often is it said that such a 
 person is held up by the chin, either by relatives 
 or neighbours. Men often hold up their chin if 
 they happen to be the distant relatives of a Lord 
 or Duke, let their circumstances be ever so hum- 
 ble. I perceive the organ of gustativeness 
 situated to the front of destructiveness, and under 
 the organ acquisitiveness, (signifies, desire of 
 food or appetite) this organ points towards this 
 house, short journeys for pleasure, and to dine 
 out with relatives or friends is appropriate, and 
 proves that each science will unfold each other as 
 we trace their analogy. In the fifth house, or 
 house of pleasure, children, embassies, &c. in 
 which is located the organ of amativeness, fond- 
 
J 68 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 
 
 ness for pleasure, propagating the species, and all 
 other pleasures which are necessary to uphold the 
 spirit of this influential organ, and when harmo- 
 nised with benevolence well developed, the person 
 then delights in giving pleasure to others, and 
 making them happy, jolly, and comfortable. 
 
 The sixth house signifies servants, tenants, vas- 
 sals, sickness, and small animals; the organ adhe- 
 siveness or attachment belongs to this house. 
 Persons are usually attached to their servants, 
 vassals, and tenants, excessive attachment to 
 sundry propensities, especially those located in 
 this part of the heavens, will often produce 
 sickness or disease. The seventh house has 
 been mentioned. The eighth house is said to 
 be the house of death, being an occult house, 
 and the house of our opponent's riches, the organs 
 destructiveness and secretiveness have a strong 
 affinity for the house of death. The ninth house 
 signifies religion, the organ conscientiousness is 
 located in this house, supported by veneration, 
 firmness in the cause of religion. The eleventh 
 house of heaven is the house of friends, hopes, 
 and expectations ; the organs of hope are in trine 
 
PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 169 
 to benevolence which harmonizes with expectations 
 and friendship. The twelfth house signifies the 
 place of private enemies, imprisonment, affliction, 
 large cattle, great machines, locomotive engines, 
 &c, the organ of constructiveness, ideality, com- 
 parison, and many of the organs in the front 
 part of the brain are required for the use of this 
 division of the heavens. This subject may be 
 greatly enlarged, and other views of the head 
 taken as respects the figure. 
 
 The author of the Zodiacal Planisphere has 
 remarked that in the view of a front face in the 
 diagram for a man when placed as a judge, one 
 ear is in the plaintiff's or complainant's house, 
 and the other in the defendant's or opponent's 
 house, that is one ear for each side of the question. 
 We then perceive all the noble faculties located 
 in the house of justice and honour, with compa- 
 rison in the centre, exerted to discover and 
 distinguish between right and wrong ; although 
 some persons may not discern the testimonies of 
 analogy at the first view, experience will prove 
 that neither the science of astrology, phrenology, 
 or physiognomy are delusions invented by mad. 
 
170 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, &C. 
 
 men. It must appear evident that the Babylo- 
 nians and Chaldeans would not have preserved 
 the observations of the heavenly bodies for so 
 many years, if it was not to cultivate astrology, 
 and to compare the effects of the planets and 
 aspects at different periods, and then from the 
 experience and observations in the course of 
 several hundred years they were enabled to form 
 rules which have been handed down to posterity, 
 and from which the ancients and moderns have 
 derived great advantages. Astrology goes far 
 beyond the limits prescribed by phrenology or 
 physiognomy ; Moses says, that the sun, moon, 
 and stars were not only created to give light, 
 but to bear rule both by day and night, for signs, 
 and for seasons, for days and for years.
