(BEING THE FIFTH OF A NEW SERIES.) PART THE SECOND. PRODESSE ET DELECTARE. E PLURIBUS UNUM. By SYLVANUS URBAN, Gent. LONDON: Printed by NICHOLS, SON, and BENTLEY where LETTERS are particularly requested to be sent, POST-PAID. 1812. GEORG!! THE following Table, constructed upon a philosophical consideration of the attraction of the Sun and Moon in their several positions respecting the Earth, and confirmed by the experience of many years actual observation, will, without trouble, suggest to the observer what kind of Weather will most probably follow the Moon's entrance into any one of her Quarters; and that so near the truth, that in very few instances it will be found to fail. pt.2 6338 Vi821 Fair and Mild Fair Hence the nearer the time of the Moon's Entrance at Full, and Change, and Quarters is to Midnight (that is, within two hours before or after Midnight), the more fair the weather in the Summer; but the nearer to Noon, the less fair. Also, the Moon's Entrance at Full, Change and Quarters, during six of the Afternoon hours, viz. from 4 to 10, may be followed by fair weather; but this is mostly dependent on the wind. The same entrance during all the hours after Midnight, except the two first, is unfavourable to fair weather, The like, nearly, may be observed in the Winter.

IN our periodical Addresses to our Friends and Cor A respondents, it has happened, for a long Series of Years, "Spes virtusque cadunt, trepidaque à mente recedit Sed fugere infixum est, terræque optantur hiatus." View the Individual at this moment, who at the distance of a few short months, led an Army amounting to almost half a Million of well-accoutred Warriors, accustomed to conquest, with the aspiring confidence of fixing for ever the Throne of his Sovereignty over the oppressed, abashed, desponding Nations of Europe "Shorn of his beams, how is the mighty man fallen!" Surely now, the elasticity of the human heart will be restored to its due confidence in the gracious dispensations of Providence; Surely now, the eyes of Europe will be opened to the proper sense of the relative interests of each and all its Nations; Surely, high and mighty Potentates who exhibit a long and noble list of Imperial Ancestry, will no longer crouch, and bow the servile knee, to an Upstart and a Despot. The sinews of his arm are paralyzed, his sword is dishonoured, his confidence lost.
