_Moon Superstitions_ (Vol. viii., pp. 79. 145. 321.)--The result of my own
observations, as far as they go, is, that remarkable changes of weather
sometimes accompany or follow so closely the changes of the moon, that it
is difficult for the least superstitious persons to refrain from imagining
some connexion between them--and one or two well-marked instances would
make many converts for life to the opinion;--but that in comparatively few
cases are the changes of weather so marked and decided as to give them the
air of cause and effect.
