_Through all the Lunations of each Year for ever._
This table and the accompanying remarks are the result of many years’
actual observation; the whole being constructed on a due consideration
of the attraction of the sun and moon in their several positions
respecting the earth; and will, by simple inspection, show the
observer what kind of weather will most probably follow the entrance
of the moon into any of her _quarters_, and that so near the truth as
to be seldom or never found to fail.
