,illustration ,the practical part of chiromancy is that which gathers probable predictions from lines1 the places of the planets in the hand1 and from the notes and characters everywhere posted and marked out in the hands and fingers4 ,these lines and their planetary relevancy are thus defined3 #a4 ,cardiaca1 or the line of life4 #b4 ,hepatica1 or the love's line2 also called the natural mean4 #c4 ,cephalica1 or the line of the head and brain4 #d4 ,thoralis1 or the table line4 #e4 ,restricta1 or the dragon's tail4 #f4 ,via ,solis1 or the sun's way4 #g4 ,via ,lactea1 or the milky way4 #h4

ring finger4 #bc4 ,auricularis1 or the little finger4 ,the question often arises as to whether judgment should be given by the right hand or the left4 ,it is certain that in one hand the lines and other signatures are very often more manifest1 and are thus more plain to be seen than the other1 as well in the hands of gentlemen as ladies4 ,that hand is the proper one 7in both sexes7 which shows and exhibits the lines thereof most clearly1 and abounds with a series of characters and signs1 yet so as that the other1 whose lines are more obscure1 may pay its contribution4 ,if in both hands they consent1 and appear to be fair and comely1 they declare a constancy of fortune and health4 ,the cause of diversity is that he who is born in the daytime1 and has a masculine planet 7the ,sun1 ,saturn1 ,jupiter and ,mars7 lord of his geniture1 bears the more remarkable signs in his right hand1 especially when the sign ascending is also masculine4 ,the contrary happens to those born at night1 as often as a feminine planet predominates4 ,if both hands agree1 it must be that in a diurnal nativity the feminine planets rule1 or that there falls out a mixture of masculine and feminine2 so in the nights by the contrary reason4 ,i4--,,of ,,the ,,line ,,of ,,life4 ,,this ,,is ,,called ,,cardiaca1 ,,or ,,the ,,heart ,,line4 ,this being broad1 of a lively color1 and decently drawn in its bounds1 without intersections and points1 shows the party long lived and subject to few diseases4 ,if slender1 short and dissected with obverse little lines1 and deformed either by a pale or black color1 it presages weakness of the body1 sickness and a short life4 ,if orderly joined to the natural mean1 and beautified in the angle with parallels1 or a little across1 it argues good wit1 or an evenness of nature4 ,if the same have branches in the upper parts thereof1 extending themselves towards the natural mean1 it signifies riches and honor4 ,if these branches be extended towards the restricta1 it threatens poverty1 deceits1 and unfaithfulness of servants4 ,if in this line there be found some confused lines1 like hairs1 be assured of diseases1 and they happen in the first age4 ,when they appear below1 if towards the cavea1 in the middle2 if towards the patica1 in the declining age4 ,if this line be anywhere broken1 it threatens extreme danger of life in that part of the age which the pace of the breach shows4 ,for you may find out the dangerous or diseased years of your age2 this line being divided into seventy parts1 you must begin your number and account from the lower part thereof1 near the restricta1 for the number falling where the branch is determines the year4 ,if the character of the sun 7as commonly it is made by astrologers7 be ever found in this line1 it presages the loss of an eye2 but1 if two such characters1 the loss of both eyes4 ,a line descending from the vital1 beneath the congress of it and the hepatica1 to the tuberculum of ,saturn1 shows an envious man1 who rejoices at another's calamity1 the sight of others concurring4 ,this also frequently shows a most perilous ,saturnine disease in that wherein it touches the vital1 and it is much worse if it cut the same4 ,but such a line passing from the vital to the annular1 to the ring finger1 promises honors to ensue1 from or by the means of some famous lady4 ,the vital lines being thicker than ordinary at the end under the fore finger1 denotes a laborious old age4 ,a line passing through the vitals to the cavea of ,mars1 foretells of wounds and fevers1 and also of misfortunes in journeys4 ,,ii4--,,of ,,the ,,hepatica1 ,,or ,,natural ,,mean4 ,this line being straight1 continued1 and not dissected by obverse little lines1 denotes a healthful body4 ,if it be short or broken1 and reach not beyond the concave of the hand1 it shows diseases and shortness of life4 ,by how much more the same is produced1 by so much longer the life may be warranted4 ,if cut at the end thereof by a small intervening line1 it threatens poverty in old age4 ,if in the upper part it be distant from the vital by a great space1 it shows distemperatures of the heart1 as palpitations1 syncope1 c4 ,this also shows prodigality1 especially if the table be broad4 ,if tortuous 7that is1 if it wind and turn several ways71 unequal1 of a different color and dissected1 it argues an evil constitution of the liver1 and thence diseases1 proceeding from the weakness thereof4 ,covetousness also1 and a depravity both of nature and wit1 especially if it be under the region of the middle finger1 and near the cardiaca1 thereby making a short or narrow triangle4 ,if decently drawn and well colored1 it is a sign of a cheerful and ingenious disposition4 ,if it has a sister1 it promises inheritances4 ,if continued with some little hard knots1 it denotes manslaughters1 either perpetrated1 or to be committed1 according to the number of these said knots4 ,if therein a cross be found under the region of the middle finger1 it announces death to be at hand4 ,if it terminates with a fork towards the ferient1 it is a sign of depraved wit1 of hypocrisy1 and of evil manners4 ,when it tends to the mensa1 it is a token of a slanderous tongue and of envy4 ,when it projects a remarkable cleft through the vital to the mons veneris1 and the sister of ,mars1 especially if the same be of a ruddy color1 it warns you to beware of thieves1 and also intimates fraud and deceit of enemies4 ,this cleft likewise insinuates a most vehement heat of the liver1 proceeding from the rays of ,mars2 so that the life becomes in danger1 seeing that the line of life is dissected4 ,this line having some branch1 yet such a one as nevertheless seems to be continued1 shows that the manner of life will be1 or is already changed2 and this in a declining age if the breach be under the ring finger2 but1 if under the middle finger1 in strength of years4 ,,iii4--,,of ,,the ,,cephalica4 ,this is called the line of the head and brain1 which1 if 7arising from its place in a due proportion7 it connects the lines of the liver and heart in a triangular form1 have a lively color1 and no intersection falling out between1 declares a man of admirable prudence1 and one of no vulgar wit and fortune4 ,by how much more decent the triangle is1 so much the better shall the temperature1 wit and courage be2 but if it be obtuse1 it argues an evil disposed nature1 and a man that is rude2 if no triangle1 far worse4 ,the superior being a right angle1 or not very acute1 foretells the best temperature of the heart2 but when it is too acute1 especially if it touch the line of life1 upon the region of the middle finger1 it argues covetousness4 ,the left angle1 if it be made upon the natural mean in the ferient1 and be a right angle1 confirms the goodness of intellect4 ,but when the cephalica projects unequal clefts to the mons lun1 thereby making unusual characters1 in the gentleman it denotes weakness of the brain1 and dangerous sea voyages4 ,but in the lady's hand it shows frequent sorrows of mind1 and difficulties in child bearing4 ,equal lines 7thus projected7 presage the contrary in both sexes1 viz41 in gentlemen1 a good composure of the brain1 and fortunate voyages by sea2 in ladies1 cheerfulness and felicity in child bearing4 ,this one thing is peculiar to the cephalica3 if it project a cleft or a manifest star1 upwards to the cavea martis1 it signifies boldness1 c4 ,but if it let fall the same downwards1 thefts1 c4 ,the cephalica1 jointed to the dragon's tail by a remarkable concourse1 promises a prudent and a joyful age4 ,the same drawn upwards in the shape of a fork1 towards the part of fortune1 signifies subtlety in managing affairs1 and also craftiness either to do good or evil4 ,if in this said fork a mark appears resembling the part of fortune1 as it is noticed by astrologers1 that gives an assurance of riches and honor to succeed by ingenuity and art4 ,,iv4--,,of ,,the ,,thoral ,,line4 ,this is also called the line of fortune2 it is termed likewise the mensa1 because it makes up the table of the hand4 ,which said line1 when it is long enough1 and without incisures1 argues a due strength in the principal members of man1 and also constancy2 the contrary if it be short1 crooked1 cut or parted4 ,if it terminate under the mount of ,saturn1 it shows a vain fellow4 ,if projecting small branches to the mount of ,jupiter1 it promises honors4 ,if there it be naked and simple1 it is a sign of poverty and want4 ,if cutting the mouth of ,jupiter1 cruelty of mind and disposition1 with excessive wrath4 ,if it projects a branch between the fore and middle finger in a gentleman1 it threatens a wound in his head2 in a lady1 danger in child bearing4 ,three lines ascending upwards from this line1 viz41 one to the space between the middle and fore finger1 a second to the space between the middle and ring finger1 and a third to the space between the ring and the little finger1 argues a contentious person in many respects4 ,a little line only thus drawn to the interval or space between the middle finger and the ring finger1 sorrow or labor4 ,if annexed to the natural mean1 so that

nearest the hand continued1 and of a good color1 assures great riches4 ,but if the same line be cut in the middle1 crooked and very pale1 it announces debility of body and want of all things4 ,a cross or star upon the restricta1 foreshadows tranquility of life in old age4 ,if there be a star1 simple or double1 or any lines near the tuberculum of the thumb1 in ladies1 they denote misfortune or infamy4 ,a line running from the restricta through the mons veneris1 presages adversities1 either by the means of some kindred or a wife4 ,a line extending from the restricta to the mons lun1 denotes adversities and private enemies2 if it be crooked1 it doubles the evil1 and betokens perpetual servitude4 ,such a line also being clear and straight1 and reaching as far as the region of the moon1 foretells many journeys by sea and land4 ,if it extend to the tuberculum of the fore finger1 it informs the gentleman that he shall live in a foreign country in great estimation4 ,if to the hepatica1 it argues honest behavior1 and prolongs life4 ,if to the mons solis 7be it simple or double71 it argues exceeding goodness1 and enables to govern or rule in great affairs4 ,by the same reason1 if it pass to the mons ,mercurii1 it betokens the gentleman is of a sufficient capacity for any employment2 but if it reach not the mons ,mercurii1 but is broken about the middle and end beneath the mons ,mercurii1 that makes out a prating fellow1 c4 ,if directly ascending to the mons ,saturni1 it signifies a good position of ,saturn in the geniture1 whose decree shall shortly follow2 but1 if

observed1 that is1 the length and depth1 so likewise their quality1 that is1 their complexion and shape1 whether they are crooked or straight2 next their action1 which is to touch or cut other lines4 ,their passion to be touched or cut of others2 and lastly1 their place and position4 ,we must know that the lines are sometimes prolonged until certain years of our age1 otherwise shortened2 now they wax pale1 then they become plain and strong1 and as it were luxuriate with a kind of redness1 and this as well in the principal as less principal lines4 ,again1 as touching the less principal1 and such as are found in the tubercula of the planets1 it is most certain that some do at one time quite vanish1 and that at another time others arise of a different shape and complexion2 the cause of which is supposed to be no other than the various progressions of the alphabetical places in their nativities2 that is1 fortunate and unfortunate to the influence whereof man himself is wonderfully subject4 ,the signs of his hands are presented at different times with different faces4 ,such a virtue1 such a love resideth in the imagination of the greater world towards the lesser4 ,and1 therefore1 the most studious in chiromancy cannot attain the knowledge of particulars by one inspection only1 made to a certain year of the person's age2 things that worthily merit our observations1 yet known or approved of by a few4 ,,of ,,the ,,planets4 ,the planets also administer not a little judgment from their respective places1 for if they are happy and benevolent1 good things are portended1 but being unhappy and froward1 judge the contrary4 ,here we must also note that these planets are termed benevolent1 in whose tubercula and places the accustomed lines are found equal1 their characters fair and proportionable1 as a cross1 stars1 three or four parallel lines1 ladders1 little branches1 a quadrangular1 the character of ,jupiter4 ,but the froward and unfortunate are those planets whose tubercula and places are deformed with troubled lines and uncouth figures2 as a lame and interrupted semi-circle gridirons the character of ,saturn4 ,this is to be duly observed in the lines of the hand4 ,now1 as touching the planets1 let us proceed according to the general rules of art4 ,,xi4--,,of ,,venus4 ,,venus shining well and happily 7that is7 when in her tuberculum1 she presents a clear star1 or furrows that are red and transversely parallel1 and so often as her tuberculum is much elevated1 makes such men to be merry1 cheerful and luxurious2 yet amorous1 comely and libidinous1 very honest and just1 with whom an uninterrupted tie of friendship once made is permanent4 ,she renders the body somewhat tall1 the eyes pleasant and sparkling with the splendor of beauty1 full of allurement and temptation1 the hair thick and curling2 she instills a spotless and noble mind1 yet oftentimes gives men that are full of boasting and inconsistency4 ,she inclines the mind to music1 c42 sometimes according to the strength of the geniture1 she produces priests1 apothecaries1 c4 ,but being unfortunate1 she causes lasciviousness1 incontinency and boasting1 and if you find a cross also1 near the first joint of the thumb1 it denotes an adulterer1 or such a person on whom a misfortune has happened in some luxurious matter4 ,if the place of ,venus be untilled1 it points out an effeminate1 rude and sorrowful person1 foolishly and ridiculously addicted to be merry and jesting4 ,,xii4--,,mars4 ,,mars is fortunate1 so often as his sister appears red1 clear and decently drawn1 and when either star or cross is found in his cavea4 ,thus1 therefore1 he denotes such as are bold and full of courage1 stout1 warlike1 contentious1 strong and lusty2 imperious2 the hair for the most part yellow2 the eyes from black waxing red and terrible4 ,if ,jupiter participate1 he possesses the gall1 the reins1 the back1 the liver1 c4 ,if with ,venus1 those parts of the body under her dominion4 ,but if he be froward and unfortunate1 he describes men to be litigious1 violent1 deceitful1 passionate1 c4 ,,xiii4--,,jupiter4 ,,jupiter is happy or fortunate when in his region he exhibits signs that are auspicious--that is1 if there be a star or double cross1 parallel lines1 or a line decently drawn from the vital to his tuberculum1 c4 ,for thus he signifies men that are noble1 honest1 benevolent1 affable1 honorable1 merry1 just1 equitable1 beautiful1 formidable and happy1 such as have comely eyes1 thick hairs and a grave gesture2 likewise such as are bashful1 and likewise such as will keep their promises1 c4 ,these men are preferred to great dignities1 and solicited by many great men1 and do highly favor and esteem their wives1 sons1 honest and good men4 ,in men1 ,jupiter rules the liver1 blood1 ribs1 lungs and gristles4 ,but1 if he is unfortunate1 he oftentimes throws a man headlong from a great estate to great calamities2 if there be half a gridiron in his tuberculum1 it betokens losses1 especially by means of the more potent sort of women2 otherwise thus constituted1 he causes grief of the heart1 cramps1 inflammations of the lungs and other diseases proceeding from wind2 if a line transversely cut his tuberculum1 and afterwards tend to the place of ,saturn1 making those little hairs1 it threatens apoplexy4 ,but1 if you find a cross especially1 or a clear and red star in his tuberculum1 he gives splendid honors1 confers riches and public rewards from great personages or princes4 ,,xiv4--,,saturn4 ,,saturn is happily placed when we find his line wholly running to his region1 but less happy when he presents some inauspicious characters2 unhappily1 if he shows confused and unfortunate signs2 he governs the spleen1 bones and bladder4 ,when he is fortunate he makes men silent1 provident1 of good and profound counsels1 such as think and study much and are somewhat sorrowful2 men that are puffed up with an ambitious spirit1 and whose aim is honors4 ,and these are slender of body1 somewhat tall1 pale and feeble1 their hair blackish1 eyes hollow2 they are fortunate in tilling of ground1 and in metals of all sorts1 yet more careless of their wives1 and less addicted to the pleasures of love2 foolishly laughing and jesting1 also tenacious and worldly minded1 unjust1 c4 ,but1 if ,saturn be unfortunate or froward1 he makes men sorrowful1 laborious1 sordid1 humble1 covetous1 liars1 malicious1 envious1 c41 and encumbered with perpetual griefs and anxieties4 ,a gross line running from the interval of the middle and fore finger to the mensa1 and breaking or interrupting it1 denotes diseases or wounds in the lower part of the body4 ,,xv4--,,sol4 ,if the ,,sun fortunately rules1 he makes men faithful1 ingenious1 honored1 high minded1 wise1 humane1 religious1 just1 moderate1 aged1 and such as always manage their affairs honestly4 ,he gives a body well composed1 and adorns it with yellow hair2 he governs the

body2 yet well proportioned1 pleasant also1 and sometimes voyages by sea and walking by the sides of rivers2 but1 if any way dissenting in the other1 unconstant both in life and action1 yet tending for the most part to the best4 ,she rules the brain1 stomach and belly1 but if unfortunate she portends a various and inconstant kind of line1 weakness1 and increase of griefs and anxieties1 she thus causes paralysis1 c4 ,a commotion of the members1 oftentimes an epilepsy and canker1 spots in the body1 severe colic1 and whatever else proceeds from abundance of cold and moisture1 and more especially when the lines found in the tuberculum of the moon do appear very pale2 if there be fair and comely signatures near the ferient1 they denote happiness to the man in his journeys and

man1 magnanimous and of long life4 ,but if small and narrow1 it indicates a slender fortune and fearfulness4 ,a cross or star within it1 clear and well proportioned1 especially under the region of the ring finger1 betokens honors and dignities to ensue from1 or by means of great and noble personages4 ,if the character of ,jupiter1 it then promises great ecclesiastical dignities1 c4 ,the same star or cross tripled1 portends good fortune2 but if it be cut by confused little lines1 the good fortune is thereby diverted1 and anxieties and labors threatened in defending his honors1 especially if they are under the region of the ring finger4 ,a cross or star in the uppermost part of the mensa1 is a sign of fortunate journeys4 ,the mensa sharpened by the concourse of the thoral and cardiac lines1 points out deceit and danger of life4 ,if no mensa be shown in the hand1 it shows obscurity both of life and fortune4 ,good and equal lines in this space do declare the fortune to be good1 but

death or danger by means of some married lady4 ,lines much dispersed in the lower joint of the thumb1 describe men that are contentious1 and such as rejoice in scolding1 c4 ,a line surrounding the thumb1 in the middle joint1 portends the man shall be hanged4 ,equal furrows drawn under the lower joint thereof1 argue riches and possessions4 ,if the first or second joint want incisures1 it shows drowsiness and idleness4 ,,xx4--,,the ,,index1 ,,or ,,fore ,,finger4 ,many lines in the uppermost joint1 and they proceeding overthwartly1 denote inheritances2 by running so in the middle joint1 an envious and evil disposed person4 ,right lines running between these joints1 declare 7in the ladies7 a numerous issue2 in gentlemen1 bitterness of tongue4 ,if they are in the first joint1 near unto ,jupiter's mouth1 they manifest a jovial disposition1 that is1 they point to the man whom ,jupiter favored well in his nativity4 ,that who hath a star in the same place1 may certainly be pronounced unchaste and lascivious4 ,,xxi4--,,medius1 ,,or ,,the ,,middle ,,finger4 ,this finger presenting little gridirons in the joints thereof1 plainly declares an unhappy and melancholy wit1 but if equal lines1 it manifests fortune by metals1 c4 ,a star there presages a violent death by drowning1 c4 ,if a gross line be extended from the root thereof1 upwards1 through the whole finger into the end of the last joint1 it argues folly and madness4 ,,xxii4--,,annularis1 ,,or ,,the ,,ring ,,finger4 ,a line arising from mons solis1 and ascending by a right track through the joints thereof1 it shows a noble frame4 ,equal lines in the first joint demonstrate honors and riches2 overthwart lines1 the enmity of great men4 ,howbeit1 if these lines be intersected1 it is better1 because they argue impediments4 ,,xxiii4--,,auricularis1 ,,or ,,little ,,finger4 ,from the joint thereof1 as from the mouth itself1 are judgments and decrees passed concerning merchandise1 favors1 and a star in its

very deceitful person4 ,if adverse lines in the last joint1 perpetual inconstancy4 ,some there are who predict the number of wives from the little lines in the mons ,mercurii at the outermost part of the hand1 and have often observed them come at the truth4 ,if the end of this finger reach not so far as to touch the last joint of the ring finger1 it signifies a wife most imperious in all things1 the truth thereof is often proved4 ,,considerations ,,on ,,the ,,mounts ,,and ,,fingers4 ,as the mounts being adorned with good figures and characters indicate a good and happy issue1 so likewise being vitiated with confused lines1 they threaten the contrary1 and this as well on the fingers as mounts1 except they are restrained by the confederacy of other lines which are of themselves good and fortunate4 ,there are likewise the twelve signs of the ,zodiac upon the fingers4 ,the signification of the lines proceeding from the mounts of the different planets upon the fingers1 show their effect chiefly when the sun1 or their principal significator1 as lord of the ascendant1 c41 is in these signs1 ruling the parts where they terminate1 as a line passing from the mount of ,saturn to the first point of the middle finger would give improvement when the sun was in ,pisces2 if to the second1 in ,aquarius4 ,observe also that the first joint near the mount of the finger must be attributed to the first part of the age1 the second to the prime of life1 and the last unto old age4 ,lastly4 ,the structure of the hand itself is really admirable in respect to the proportion it bears to the face1 and certain parts thereof1 which is this3 ,the whole hand is of equal length with the face4 ,the greater joint of the forefinger 7which adjoins upon the tuberculum of ,jupiter7 equals the height of the

they call omychios4 ,,of ,,the ,,nails ,,of ,,the ,,fingers4 ,broad nails show the person to be bashful and fearful1 but of a gentle nature4 ,when there is a certain white mark at the extremity of them1 it shows that the person has more honesty than subtilty1 and that his worldly substance will be impaired through negligence4 ,white nails and long1 denote much sickness and infirmity1 especially fevers1 and are an indication of strength1 and deceit in women4 ,if upon the white anything appears at the extremity that is pale1 it denotes short life by sudden death1 and the person to be given to melancholy4 ,when there appear a sudden mixed redness of divers colors at the beginning of the nail1 it shows the person to be choleric1 and very quarrelsome4 ,when the extremity is black1 it is a sign of husbandry4 ,narrow nails denote the person to be inclined to mischief and to do injury to his neighbor4 ,long nails show the person to be good natured1 but mistrustful1 and loves reconciliation rather than differences4 ,oblique nails signify deceit and want of courage4 ,little and round nails denote obstinate anger and hatred2 if they be crooked at the extremity1 they show pride and fierceness4 ,round nails show a choleric person1 yet soon reconciled and a lover of secret sciences4 ,fleshy nails denote the person to be mild in temper1 idle and lazy4 ,pale and black nails show the person to be very deceitful to his neighbor1 and subject to many diseases4 ,red and marked nails signify a choleric and martial nature1 given to cruelty3 and as many little marks as

such future contingencies as concern their welfare and happiness2 and1 more especially1 since we observe1 even in the brute creation1 that even the most inconsiderable creatures upon the earth are more or less endowed with a gift of foreknowledge4 ,thus the industrious bee1 and laborious ant1 lay in their summer store1 in order to supply the necessary wants of an inclement winter1 which they foreknow is yet to come2 yet1 even of all the whole race of reptiles1 the ant1 the spider1 and the bee1 appear to be endowed with the greatest share of sagacity4 ,the wisdom of the ants is conspicuous in forming themselves into a kind of republic and therein observing1 as it were1 their own peculiar laws and policies2 but the cunning of the spider seems to exceed that of most other insects2 its various artifices to ensnare its prey is no less remarkable than its contrivance of a cell or retreat behind its web1 where it feasts upon its game in safety and conceals the fragments of those carcasses it has devoured1 without exposing to public view the least remains of its barbarity1 which might tend to distinguish its place of abode1 or create the least jealousy in any sect1 that their enemy was near4 ,into what history can we look to find people who are governed by laws equal to what we observe in the republic of bees8 ,what experience can we desire beyond what we observe in the cunning spider1 to teach us to guard against the artifices of those who lay snares to catch the thoughtless and unwary8 or what can exceed the indefatigable ant1 in teaching us lessons of frugality and industry8 ,the badger1 the hedgehog and the mole also provide themselves a magazine of plants and herbs1 which they foreknow will enable them to lie concealed in their holes during the hard frosts of winter1 contented with their prison1 which affords them safety4 ,their holes are constructed with amazing art1 and generally have two apertures1 that in case one should be beset by an enemy1 they may escape by the other4 ,the doublings by the hare1 the tricks of the fox to escape the hounds1 are also astonishing indications of foresight and sagacity4 ,the feathered race are likewise endowed with a similar faculty and often foretell an approaching storm a considerable time before it appears1 by retiring in flocks to their holes and hiding places for shelter and protection4 ,the birds of passage seem to inherit this gift in a remarkable degree1 for they assemble together in prodigious flocks at an appointed hour1 and take their leave before the approach of winter2 which they see will destroy the flies and insects1 as they feed on nothing else4 ,and it is no less extraordinary than true1 that these birds return as early as the sun brings forth this class of insects into new life1 and they have also the sagacity to find out and possess their old nests and habitations4 ,the wise1 provident forecast for self-preservation and safety is even extended to the innumerable inhabitants of the immense ocean1 where we see the fishes1 pressed by unceasing hunger1 indiscriminately prey upon one another1 the large upon the small1 even of its own species2 whence the smaller fish in regular gradations1 when in danger of being devoured1 fly for an asylum to the shallow waters1 where they know their enemy either cannot or dare not come to pursue them4 ,and this pursuit of one species of fish after another1 is by no means confined to a single region1 for we find shoals of them pursuing one another1 from the vicinity of the pole even down to the equator1 and thus the cod from the banks of the ,newfoundland pursues the whiting1 which flies before it1 even to the southern shores of ,spain4 ,it is astonishing also1 that herrings1 which appear to generate towards the north of ,scotland1 regularly make their way once a year to the ,british ,channel4 ,their voyage is conducted with the utmost regularity1 and the time of their departure is fixed from the month of ,june to ,august4 ,they always assemble together before they set out and no stragglers are ever found from the general body4 ,it is impossible to assign any cause for this emigration1 but it doubtless proceeds from the same instinctive impulse with which all orders of animated nature are more or less imbued4 ,now observe1 that when you go out of your house to do or transact any kind of business1 and in the way you do see a man1 or a bird going or flying1 so that either of them do set themselves before you on your right hand1 that is a good signification in reference to your business2 but when you shall go out of your house on any business whatsoever1 and shall see a bird or a man before you on the left side of you1 it is an ill sign in reference to your said business4 ,when either a man or a bird shall thus pass before you1 coming from the right side of you and bending towards the left1 goeth out of your sight1 that is a good sign concerning your business4 ,when you do find a man going1 or a bird flying1 and then he rests himself before you on your right side1 and you seeing it1 this is also a good sign of success in your business4 ,but when you see a man or a bird bending from your right side to your left1 it is an ill sign concerning your business2 when a man or a bird comes behind you1 and goes faster than you1 but before he cometh at you he rests1 or the same before you came at him1 he rests1 and you seeing him on your right side1 it is to you a good sign4 ,but when this happens on the left side1 it is an evil sign4 ,when a man or a bird1 coming from your left side1 and passing to the right1 goeth out of your sight without resting1 it is a good sign4 ,if a man or bird1 coming from your right hand1 passing behind your back to the left1 and you see him resting anywhere1 this is an evil sign4 ,all the auspicia which first happeneth in the beginning of any business1 ought not to be taken notice of1 as if in the beginning of any work you find that rats have been gnawing your clothes1 then insist upon your undertakings4 ,if1 on going out of your house1 you happen to stumble on the threshold1 or if in the way you happen to dash your foot against anything1 then forbear your journey2 if any ill omen ever happens at the beginning of your business1 then put it off for a while1 lest you be completely disappointed therein4 ,if a crow1 raven or a jackdaw do croak over any person1 it doth show much evil of a serious nature4 ,the magpie informs you that you will soon hear news and come into company2 but whether such news be good or bad1 observe whether it comes from the right hand or the left4 ,the screech owl is always unfortunate1 for1 about the #agth ,oct41 #ahjg1 ,grantham church was a repository for a number of owls every evening1 for about one month1 when it followed that1 before that time next year1 the same church was actually robbed of all its plate and money1 to a large amount1 by a gang of villains1 in the dead of the night1 to the great loss and detriment of the whole parish4 ,if you meet sparrows1 it is unfortunate1 except for love4 ,flies indicate importunity and impudent affronts2 cocks meeting you1 or crowing against your house1 inform you of visitors coming and success in your journeys and business4 ,if you meet a hare1 a mule1 or a hog1 it is an ill omen2 to meet horses in a carriage is good1 but if you meet an ass1 expect trouble2 while to meet sheep and goats is very good and indicates prosperity in your affairs2 if you either meet a dog or oxen1 you may expect the same success1 for it is good2 mice indicate that you will soon meet with danger2 locusts making a stand in any place1 hindereth a person from their wishes and is an ill omen2 on the contrary1 grasshoppers promote a journey and foretell a good event of things4 ,the spider weaving a line downwards1 signifies hope of money to come2 as also the ants having a nest near your door is good1 because they know how to provide for themselves1 and portend security and riches4 ,if you meet with a snake1 take care of an ill-tongued enemy2 a viper signifies lewd women and wicked children2 an eel shows a man that is displeased with everybody4 ,but of all the various auspices and omens1 there is none more effectual and potent than man1 none that doth signify the truth more clearly4 ,you must1 therefore1 diligently note and duly observe the

,till the kind hand of death unbolts the bars ,which clog the noble and aspiring soul1 ,then1 then we truly wake40--,,higgins4 --8,shroud thy hated light1 ,thou rising sun2 nor summon with such speed1 ,the o'erlabored world to toils of a new day2 ,why1 flatter'd mortals1 will you wake to cares1 ,when sleep1 in kind delusion1 may divert ,your pensive mind with pleasing images8 ,a dream sets free the captive2 can restore ,lost fields to soldiers2 to wreck'd merchants wealth4 ,in dreams the exile visits his sweet home4 ,and o'er the sparkling bowl relates at large ,his past distresses to his wondering friends4 ,the lover1 too1 the sad forsaken lover4 ,may dream1 and feign the falsest mistress true40--,,tate4 ,it has been truthfully observed1 that half the life of even the most miserable is as unruffled as that of the most happy of men1 for that portion is spent in sleep--in the enjoyment of quiet repose--in peace and in security4 ,a quiet reliance upon ,providence1 a conscience void of offence1 temperance and regularity1 every person can command1 and these are the only requisites to secure sound and pleasant sleep and pleasant dreams4 ,in these every one has happy moments--and in this life we cannot expect more than transient gleams of sunshine--a mixture of sours and sweets1 whose agreeable or distasteful flavor depends much more upon ourselves than is commonly imagined4 ,addison1 the virtuous and religious ,addison2 often dwells in his writings upon dreams--published many of his stories as the result of them--sometimes treated of them seriously and earnestly1 and at others brought all his powers of ridicule into play to expose their absurdity4 8,dreams10 he says1 8are an instance of that agility and perfection which is natural to the faculties of the mind1 where they are disengaged from the body4 ,the soul is clogged and retarded in her operations when she acts in conjunction with a companion that is so heavy and unwieldy in her motions4 ,but in dreams it is wonderful to observe with what sprightliness and alacrity she exerts herself4 ,the flow of speech makes unpremeditated harangues1 or converses readily in languages that they are but little acquainted with4 ,the grave abound in pleasantries1 the dull in repartee and points of wit4 ,there is not a more painful action of the mind than invention2 yet in dreams it works with that ease and activity that we are not sensible of when the faculty is employed4 ,for instance1 ,i believe every one1 some time or other1 dreams that he is reading papers1 books1 or letters1 in which case the invention prompts so readily that the mind is imposed upon1 and mistakes its own suggestions for the compositions of another40 ,in another part of the same paper he gives the two following problems3 8,supposing a man1 always happy in his dreams and miserable in his waking thoughts1 and that his life was equally divided between them--whether he would be more happy or miserable8 ,were a man a king in his dreams and a beggar awake1 and dreamed as consequentially1 and in continued unbroken schemes1 as he thinks when awake--whether he would be in reality a king or a beggar1 or rather1 whether he would not be both80 ,addison was of opinion that some useful instruction might be derived even from a dream3 8,since we have so little time to spare1 that none of it may be lost1 ,i see no reason why we should neglect to examine those imaginary scenes we are presented with in sleep1 only because they have less reality in them than our waking meditation4 ,a traveler would bring his judgment in question1 who should despise the directions of his map for want of real roads in it1 because here stands a dot instead of a town1 or a cipher instead of a city1 and it must be a long day's journey to travel through two or three inches4 ,fancy in dreams gives us much such another landscape of life as that does of countries1 and though its appearance may seem strangely jumbled together1 we may often observe such traces and footsteps of noble thoughts1 as1 if carefully pursued1 might lead us into proper course of action4 ,there is so much rapture and ecstacy in our fancied misery1 that though the inactivity of the body has given occasion for calling sleep the image of death1 the briskness of the fancy affords us a strong intimation of something within us that can never die40 ,addison1 however1 could treat with a happy ridicule all those everyday dreams with which most persons are so familiar and gives several cases from imaginary correspondents1 some dissatisfied with the non-fulfilment of their nocturnal visions1 and others annoyed at being disturbed in the midst of their delightful reveries4 8,i have received10 says ,addison1 8numerous complaints from several delicious dreamers1 desiring me to invent some method of silencing those noisy slaves1 whose occupations lead them to take their early rounds about the city in the morning1 doing a deal of mischief and working strange confusion in the affairs of its inhabitants4 ,several monarchs have done me the honor to acquaint me1 how often they have been shook from their respective thrones by the rattling of a coach or by the rumbling of a wheelbarrow2 and many private gentlemen1 ,i find1 have been bawled out of vast estates by fellows not worth three-pence4 ,a fair lady was just upon the point of being married to a young1 rich1 handsome1 ingenious nobleman1 when an impertinent tinker1 passing by1 forbade the banns2 and a hopeful youth1 who had been newly advanced to great honor and preferment1 was forced by a neighboring cobbler to resign all for an old song4 ,it has been represented to me that those inconsiderate rascals do nothing but go about dissolving of marriages1 and spoiling of fortunes1 impoverishing rich1 and ruining great people1 interrupting beauties in the midst of their conquests and generals in the course of their victories2 a boisterous peripatetic hardly goes through a street without waking half a dozen kings and princes to open their shops1 or clean shoes1 frequently transforming sceptres into paring-shovels and proclamations into bills4 ,i have by me a letter from a young statesman1 who in five or six hours came to be ,emperor of ,europe1 after which he made war upon the ,great ,turk1 routed him horse and foot1 and was crowned lord of the universe in ,constantinople2 the conclusion of all his successes is that1 on the twelfth instant1 about seven in the morning1 his ,imperial ,majesty was deposed by a chimney sweeper4 ,on the other hand1 ,i have epistolary testimonies of gratitude from many miserable people1 who owe to this clamorous tribe frequent deliverance from great misfortunes4 ,a small coalman1 by waking one of these distressed gentlemen1 saved him from ten years' imprisonment2 an honest watchman1 bidding a loud good-morrow to another1 freed him from the notice of many potent enemies and brought all their designs against him to nothing4 ,a certain valetudinarian confesses he has often been cured of a sore throat by the hoarseness of a carman and relieved from a fit of the gout by the sound of old shoes4 8,a citizen who is waked by one of these criers1 may regard him as a kind of remembrancer1 come to admonish him that it is time to return to the circumstances he had overlooked all the night time2 to leave off fancying what he is not1 and prepare to act suitably to the condition he is really placed in40 ,that may be called a dream which proceeds either from the spirit of the phantasy and intellect united together1 or by the illustration of the agent intellect above our souls1 or by the true revelation of some divine power in a quiet and purified mind2 for by this our soul receives true oracles1 and abundantly yields prophecies to us2 as in dreams we seem both to ask questions and learn to find them out4 ,also many doubtful things1 many policies1 many things unknown1 unwished for1 and never attempted by our minds1 are manifested to us in dreams2 also the representation of things unknown and unknown places appear to us1 and the images of men1 both alive and dead2 and things to come are foretold1 and also which at any time have happened are revealed1 which we know not by any report4 ,and these kind of dreams need not any interpretation1 as those which belong to divination1 not to foreknowledge2 and it comes to pass that they who have dreams for the most part understand them not2 for1 as to have dreams is from the strength of imagination1 so to understand them is from the strength of understanding4 ,he1 therefore1 whose intellect being overwhelmed by too much commerce of the flesh1 is in a deep sleep1 or his fantastic power or spirit is too dull and unpolished1 so that it cannot receive the species and representation which flow from the superior intellect2 this man is altogether unfit for the receiving of dreams and prophesying by them4 ,therefore it is necessary that he who would receive true dreams1 should keep a pure1 undisturbed and imaginative spirit2 and so compass it that it may be made worthy of the knowledge and government by the mind1 for such a spirit is most fit for prophesying and is a most clear glass of all images which flow everywhere from all things4 ,when1 therefore1 we are sound in body1 not disturbed in mind1 our intellect not made dull by heavy meats and strong drink1 not sad through poverty1 nor provoked through lust1 nor incited by any vice1 nor stirred up by wrath or anger1 not being irreligiously and profanely inclined1 not given to levity1 nor lost in drunkenness2 but chastely going to bed1 fall asleep1 then our pure and divine soul being free from all the evils above recited1 and separated from all hurtful thoughts1 and now freed1 by dreaming1 is endowed with this divine spirit as an instrument1 and receives those beams and representations which are darted down as it were1 and shine forth from the divine mind into itself1 in a deifying glass4 ,it does more certainly1 more clearly and efficaciously1 behold all things1 than by the vulgar inquiry of the intellect and by the discourse of reason4 ,the divine person instructing the soul1 being invited to their society by the opportunity of the nocturnal solitariness1 neither will that spirit of genius be wanting to him when he is awake1 which rules all our actions4 ,but there are four kinds of true dreams1 viz43 the first1 matutine1 i4 e4 between sleeping and waking2 the second1 that which one sees concerning another2 the third1 that whose interpretation is shown to the same dreamer in the nocturnal vision2 and1 lastly1 that which is related to the same dreamer in the nocturnal vision4 ,but natural things and their own co-mixtures likewise belong unto wise men1 and we often use such to receive oracles from a spirit by a dream1 which are either by perfumes1 unctions1 meats1 drinks1 rings1 seals1 c4 ,now those who are desirous to receive oracles in or through a dream1 let them make themselves a ring of the sun or ,saturn for this purpose4 ,there are likewise images of dreams1 which being put under the head when one goes to sleep1 effectually give true dreams of whatever the mind hath before determined1 of which as follows3 ,thou shalt make an image of the sun1 the figure whereof must be a man sleeping upon the bosom of an angel2 which thou shalt make when ,leo ascends1 the sun being in the ninth house in ,aries2 then you must write upon the figure the name of the effect desired1 and in the hand of the angel the name and character of the intelligence of the sun1 which is ,michael4 ,let the same image be made in ,virgo ascending1 ,mercury being fortunate in ,aries in the ninth1 or ,gemini ascending1 ,mercury being fortunate in the ninth house in ,aquarius2 and let him be received by ,saturn with a fortunate aspect1 and let the name of the spirit 7which is ,raphael7 be written upon it4 ,let the same likewise be made1 ,libra ascending1 ,venus being received from ,mercury in ,gemini in the ninth house1 and write upon it the name of the angel of ,venus 7which is ,annael74 ,again you make the same image1 ,aquarius ascending1 ,saturn fortunately possessing the ninth in his exaltation1 which is ,libra1 and let there be written upon it the name of the angel of ,saturn1 7which is ,cassi-al74 ,the same may be made with ,cancer ascending1 the moon being received by ,jupiter and ,venus in ,pisces1 and being fortunately placed in the ninth house1 and write upon it the spirit of the moon 7which is ,gabriel74 ,there are likewise made rings of dreams of wonderful efficacy1 and there are rings of the sun and ,saturn1 and the constellation of them is when the sun or ,saturn ascend in their exaltation in the ninth house of the nativity1 and write and engrave upon the rings the name of the sun or ,saturn1 and by these rules you may know how and by what means to constitute more of yourself4 ,but know this1 that such images work nothing 7as they are simply images71 except they are vivified by a spiritual and celestial virtue and chiefly by the ardent desire and firm intent of the soul of the operator4 ,but who can give a soul to an image1 or make a stone1 or metal1 or clay1 or wood1 or wax1 or paper to live8 ,certainly no man whatever2 for this arcanum doth enter into an artist of a stiff neck2 he only hath it who transcends the progress of angels and comes to the very ,archtype himself4 ,he who is desirous of receiving true oracles by dreams1 let him abstain from supper1 from drink1 and be otherwise well disposed1 so his brain will be free from turbulent vapors2 let him also have his bedchamber fair and clean1 exorcised and consecrated1 then let him perfume the same with some convenient fumigation1 and let him anoint his temples with some efficacious unguent and put a ring of dreams upon his finger2 then let him take one of the images we have spoken of and place the same under his head2 then let him address himself to sleep1 meditating upon that thing which he desires to know4 ,so shall he receive a most certain and undoubted oracle by a dream1 when the moon goes through the sign of the ninth revolution of his nativity1 and when she is in the ninth sign from the sign of perfection4 ,this is the way whereby we may obtain all sciences and arts whatever1 whether astrology1 occult philosophy1 physic1 c41 or else suddenly and perfectly with a true illumination of our intellect1 although all inferior familiar spirits whatsoever conduce to this effect1 and sometimes also evil spirits sensibly inform us intrinsically and extrinsically4 ,,the ,,way ,,to ,,get ,,rich 8,there is a tide in the affairs of men1 which1 taken at the flood1 leads to fortune40 8,he that by the plough would thrive1 ,himself must either hold or

by me1 ,i pray1 ,save something for a rainy day40 ,remember1 that time is money1 for he that can earn a dollar a day at his labor1 and goes abroad1 or sits at home one-half of that day1 though he spend but six cents during his diversion or idleness1 he ought not to reckon that the only expense2 he has really wasted1 or rather thrown away1 fifty cents besides4 ,remember1 that credit is money2 if a man lets his money lie in my hands after it is due1 because he has a good opinion of my credit1 he gives me the interest1 or so much as ,i can make of the money during that time2 this amounts to a very considerable sum1 where a man has large credit and also makes a good use of it4 ,remember1 that money is of a prolific or multiplying nature2 money will produce money1 and its offspring will produce more2 and so five shillings turned is six1 being turned again is seven and three-pence1 and so on1 till it becomes a hundred pounds2 and the more there is of it1 the more it will produce on every turning1 so that the profits rise quicker and quicker2 and he who throws away a crown1 destroys all that it might have produced1 even some scores of pounds4 ,remember1 that six pounds a year is a groat a day1 for this little sum 7which may be daily wasted either in time or expenses unperceived71 if a proper use be made of it1 he may1 on his own security1 have the constant possession and use of a hundred and twenty pounds4 ,so much in stock1 briskly turned by an industrious man1 will always produce the greatest advantage to the tradesman4 ,remember this proverb1 that the good paymaster is lord of another man's purse1 for he who is known to pay punctually and exactly at the time he promises1 may1 at any time1 and on any occasion1 raise all the money his friend can spare4 ,this is sometimes of great use2 next to industry and frugality nothing can contribute more to the raising of a man in the world than punctuality in all his dealings4 ,therefore1 never keep borrowed money one single hour beyond the time promised1 lest the disappointment should shut up your friend's purse forever1 as the most trifling actions that affect a man's credit ought always to be avoided4 ,the sound of the hammer at five in the morning1 or at nine at night1 being heard by a creditor1 makes him easy six months longer2 but if he sees you at a gaming table1 or hears your voice in a tavern1 when you should be at work1 he sends for his money the very next day and demands it before it is convenient for you to pay him4 ,beware of thinking all your own that you possess and of living accordingly4 ,this is a mistake that many people of credit fall into2 but in order to prevent this1 always keep an exact account both of your expenses and also of your daily income and profits4 ,for if you will only just take the trouble at first to enumerate particulars1 it will discover unto you how wonderfully trifling expenses mount up to a large sum2 by which you will also discern what might have been1 and also what may for the future be saved without causing any great inconvenience4 ,in short1 the way to obtain riches1 if you desire it1 is as plain as the way to the market1 which depends chiefly on two things1 viz43 industry and frugality2 and take care that you waste neither time nor money1 but daily make use of both2 if you take care of the hours and days1 the weeks1 months and years will also take care of themselves4 ,constant experience proves that any business being first well contrived1 is more than half done--for a sleeping fox catches no poultry2 there will be sleep enough in the grave1 and also1 that lost time is seldom found again1 for that which we generally call time enough1 always proves little enough2 for sloth makes things difficult1 while industry makes them easy4 ,he that rises late must trot hard all day and shall scarce overtake his business at night--for laziness travels so slow that poverty soon overtakes him4 ,drive your business1 but let not that drive you2 for early to bed and early to rise1 is the way to become healthy1 wealthy and wise4 ,industry need not wish1 while he who lives on a vain hope will die fasting2 for we find that there is nothing to be done or accomplished under the sun without labor4 ,he that hath a trade1 hath an estate1 and he that hath a profession1 hath an office and profit with honor2 but then the trade must be worked at1 and the profession well followed1 or they will not enable you to pay rent and taxes4 ,at the working man's house hunger looks in but dares not enter2 for industry pays debts1 while despair increases them4 ,diligence is the mother of good luck2 as ,solomon saith3 8,the diligent hand maketh rich1 while he that dealeth with a slack hand becometh poor2 for ,god gives all things to industry40 ,then plow deep while the sluggards sleep1 and you shall have plenty1 while others have reason to complain of hard times4 ,therefore keep working while it is called to-day1 for you know not how much you may be hindered to-morrow2 and never leave that business to be done to-morrow which you can do to-day2 for since you are not sure of a single hour1 throw not that away4 ,how many are they who live daily by their wits1 and who often break from want of a stock in hand1 while industry gives comfort1 plenty and respect4 ,keep your shop well and then your shop will keep you4 ,for it sometimes happens that the eyes of a master will do more work than both his hands1 and more especially if his head be any reasonable length2 for the want of care doth more damage than the want of knowledge4 ,if you do not overlook your workmen1 you may just as well leave them your purse open2 the trusting too much to the care of others has completely ruined many a man4 ,if you would be wealthy1 think of being careful

,,gentlemen4 ,this is the first time that a book has been published that plainly teaches how to write a letter4 ,it shows clearly all the blunders and mistakes apt to be made by an inexperienced writer1 and makes manifest in the simplest way the proper method of avoiding and rectifying such blunders and mistakes1 whether they occur in the spelling1 the punctuation or the grammar4 ,this book explains all the details of correspondence1 whether relating to the form1 the penmanship1 the directing1 folding and sending of a note or a letter4 ,there are in this book valuable hints about ,love1 ,courtship and ,marriage1 showing in what style lovers should indite epistles4 ,there are given all the various letters that arise in the course of business3 ,asking for money1 requesting time1 enclosing remittance1 asking assistance1 reasons for refusal1 from tenants to landlords on different subjects1 with landlords' replies4 ,then--and this is a very important feature--there is shown the legal importance of a letter2 and explanations are given upon the exact meaning of expressions used in writing1 that may be brought into court in litigations4 ,it also contains the art of abbreviating writing1 so that any one can1 with practice1 write with the rapidity of the shorthand writer4 ,in fact1 the following persons all require this book3 ,,young ,,ladies ,,and ,,young ,,gentlemen4 ,,wives ,,and ,,husbands4 ,,widows ,,and ,,bachelors4 ,,farmers ,,and ,,traders4 ,,the ,,sick ,,and ,,the ,,well4 ,,soldiers ,,and ,,sailors4 ,,mothers ,,and ,,fathers4 ,,daughters ,,and ,,sons4 ,,givers ,,and ,,receivers ,,of ,,presents4 ,,the ,,educated ,,and ,,the ,,illiterate4 ,but it would take page after page to begin to enumerate all the different classes to whom 8,the ,complete ,letter ,writer0 would prove an invaluable companion4 ,there is nothing worth knowing in any other letter writer not to be found here1 while there are many things of importance here not to be found in any other book4 ,notwithstanding all these good points it is only ,twenty-five ,cents a copy1 and is sent at that price1 postage paid1 to any part of the ,united ,states or ,canada4 ,address ,,henry ,j4
