the sextile of Mercury, and Jupiter, in the zodiac. The following is the calculation. The right ascension of the Moon is northern sign gives for the oblique decension of the moon under the pole 23.. Jupiter casts his sextile to 1° 42′ of, the right ascension of which, is and the declination is - O. 391.s which with south declination, must be 1819 351 0 15 181 20 and it give 181 201 for the oblique descension of the sextile of Jupiter under the pole of the Moon, and the moon's oblique ascension subtracted from it leaves 181 20 145 40 35 40 for the arc of direction of the moon to the sextile of Jupiter. It will be seen by inspecting the figure that Saturn cast his sesquiquadrate ray, to the same dégree and minute, which was the cause of the match breaking off. He was again very near marriage in his 38th year, the banns being actually published in Whitechapel church April 4th, 1795, from the midheaven to the sextile of Venus; for the semidiurnal arc of Venus is 3h. 48m. or 57; and of course the space of one house is 19° which being doubled for the mundane sextile, as Venus is upon the midheaven, gives for the arc of direction 38 degrees. But here it is obvious that when Venus came to the cusp of the 8th, the moon being upon the cusp of the 5th house, came to the mundane quartile of the same planet, frustrated the marriage; I believe from the father of Miss K. refusing to give with his daughter what Mr. L. expected. After this period he never thought seriously of marriage, and previous to it his constant beverage being water, that habit was also entirely changed, to one of an infinitely more pernicious nature, as he took to drinking the most ardent spirits in large quantities, wbich greatly accelerated his end. He died May 28th 1809, he had then after a long train of evil directions, the sun to the sesquiquadrate of Mars direct, and the moon to the parallell of Mars converse. The semidiurnal arc of the is 4h. or 60 degrees and the seminocturnal arc of Mars in 69. 30, then the sun's distance from the 10th house, 46° 34' taken from 60° his half day arc leaves his distance from the 7th, 13° 261, again if 4 hours the suns half day arc, give 13. 26′ for his distance from the seventh what will 4 hours 38 minutes the seminocturnal arc of Mars give for his secondary distance from the 4th house; the answer will be 140 54,; and this taken from 29° 28′ the primary distance of mars from the fourth house, leaves the arc of direction of the sun to the quartile of mars, 14° 44'; and if to this we add the fourth part of the nocturnal arc of mars, or the space of one house and a half, which is 34. 451, being the half of 69° 301; it will give for the arc of direction 49° 29′; answering according to Naibod, to between 50 and 51 years; which was the time death began to approach him; and this was followed by the ascendant to the sextile of mars in Mudo and the moon to the same aspect of mars in the zodiac. To Mr. Lambert's nativity I have adjoined that of Mr. Daniel Vaux, who was a gentleman well known as superintendant of the workmen at the canal at Blackwall and West India Docks, and was much respected for his integrity and abilities by all who knew him. I have given the time to a minute from his own hand writing, as he understood something of astrology, though I have heard him say the estimate was at eleven o'clock or two minutes latter. He died July 7th, 1809, from a train of evil directions, but I conceive the following were the principal ones, namely, the Sun to the sesquiquadrate of Mars in mundo direct, and the Moon to the quartile of Mars in the Zodiac. The Sun's distance from the tenth, 15° 28' taken from the space of his diurnal house 23o 54 leaves 8. 26' for his distance from the eleventh, then if his semidiurnal arc which is 4h. 37m. give 8. 26, for his distance from the eleventh, what will 3h. 29m. the semi nocturnal arc of Mars give for the distance of the trine below the 7th house? the answer will be 6o 221, which added to the distance of Mars above the earth 23° 53′ makes for the arc of the Sun to the trine of Mars 30o 15. and if we add to this, half the space of the nocturnal house of Mars which is 80 421, the sum total will be 38 57, for the arc of direction of the sesquiquadrate of Mars in mundo direct, and just at the same age it happened to reach the semiquartile of Mars converse, and in the 39th year in which he died, the Moon came to the quartile of Mars in the Zodiac and the year before to the sesquiquadrate of Saturn, &c.

SIR, THOUGH I have not been ignorant of the existence of such a publication as yours, since the second number appeared, yet up to this moment I have had no opportunity of having communication with you, on the interesting basis of your magazine. On a glance at my signature, you may perhaps feel a renewal of surprise, (if surprise you have felt) at not having heard from me before considering the publicity I have given to my astrological opinions. It would be useless, Sir, for me to enter into a particular explanation of the cause of my silence; I shall only observe that in future I shall anticipate the gratification of being a tolerable regular correspondent. I cannot omit here the expression of my thanks to you for the establishment of a vehical which is most essential in aid of the display of sidereal influx, and is indispensably necessary not only for the purification of the science, and the propogation of its principles, but to infuse into the frame of its existence, a new vitiality, which shall combine the invaluable instructions of antiquity, with the improvements of modern investigation. Allow me in this place to say, that you have my warmest wishes for your success; and to assure you that your perseverance in the good cause, has done, as it will continue to do you, ample credit; and has not merely secured you my humble admiration, but will I have little doubt give you the possession of the liberal patronage of a discerning public. To me, I need not tell you how dear your pages will be, if confined to a distinct and determinate object; my life has been in a great measure devoted to the true attainment of stellar knowledge, (I hope I have not laboured in vain) and I shall be happy through your medium to impart to the young student, from time to time, any little information I possess; as well as being thankful for any instruction I may receive through the same channel. I have observed with some degree of pain in your two last numbers, a controversy springing up, on a pub |
