BOROSCOPE OF NAPOLEON 111.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE suN.
15, Northfield-terrace, Cheltenl.am.
DEAR SIR,—You may remember receiving a copy of
productions from me from the horoscope of Navleon
for the years 1853 and 1854. The former period was
stated to be one of marked distinction, prosperity, and
Additional honours, together with an allusion to his mar-
riage. The year 1854, from spring to autumn inclusive,
Was stated to be one of disaster and imminent peril to
his life. The accompanying slip refers to the lights and
• shades of the periods mentioned in the original prodsc-
tions, together with what I conceive to be their assimi•
, lating results.. The time of the assassin's attempt upon
his life exceeds the limited period in which I had
crowded the 1854 predictions by four months. Although
it is a positive fact the evil direction from whence I
judged personal danger does not terminate earlier than
the immediate month, but transit excitement will at
times tend to delay the effect. The talents and mind of
Napoleon have powerfully acted upon the tone of English
opinion, and a higher estimate of character prevails than
at first we, were inclined to admit or even entertain the
remotest idea of, being strongly influenced in our judg-
Mont upon an abstract question. The scene has changed,
and may the bonds of friendship become indissoluble !
I remain you: obedient servant,
• GEORGE SMITE.

From the above preface, descriptive of the nrode of
--nip conclusions to a certain extent, I shall now proCeed
. Or Tef9l-_ toisveries of. predictions in proof of what is
above advanced, although my communications updn
astral fora number of .years may render any
-'—iucti:4.o=4oi p*f trinetessary.
Mobth of April, 1852, soon after (when'
all: -Ciltivectllively viewed) 'the "coup d'etat," when eriernies
; mut opponents to ihe then state of affairs rendered pacific
aco*clasions, tinder thedoubts and feari ofthe time, rather.
Joa.sptc,bletTlaticalony deductions from Louis Napoleon's horo-
-:; •-41 icepe were nevertheless to the following effect : —That
i 'from the commencement of 1853, and during sprrn; arid
linfatneroftfiatyear, "pew honours and distinctions ivoold
-a." be conferred upon him," and that he would attain the
'summit of ambition's bound, amid the blandishments and
'''congratulations of his subjects, that all would be sun-
• Blaine,- and "merry as a marriage bell." The latter was
giien in italics, in consequence of the directions' being
= clthose from whence marriage is generally inferred. The
'`) 'above deductions were literally fulfilled ; for undtr their
Jlpotilint and benign power he was elected Emperor of
France and his marriage solemnised.
We now come to other predictions of converse cliarac-
,i ter and import contained in the same paragraph, not a
little startling to the contemplative and philosophic ob-
server. The'prediction in question embraces the autumn
- of 1854, to. Dec. 21st, during which adverse directions
were singularly clashing with those of opp-osite tendency,
,-1 involving responsibilities, nationally and personally. My
t-, prediction stated that " disastrous consequences would
occur, and that his life would be in imminent Peril."
= So far the published prediction, and on the result being'
• fully matured, we find France plunged;in war, no matter
;What the consequences may be that led to' such an
event ; and on the 17th of October' 1851, -the failure of
the first bombardment • and though the gallantry of,lier
-troops gave brilliant achievements, war is, nevertheless,
a calamity, for it exhausts the blood and treasure of a
nation, and is always indicated by a malignant direction
in the horoscope of the Sovereign ; hence I applied the
word "disastrous," as tbe-nearest interpretation I could
give to the operating influence. The extent of adverse
testimony did not cease with the autum of 1854, but is
- continuous in the spring of 1855, the ultimatum of which
we find to be the attack of the assassin on the life of
his Majesty. Thus we have a series of predictions, with
their corresponding results, published to the world three
years prior to their maturity. It is my intention to
make further observations upon the natus of this dis-
tinguished gentleman, whose mental resources range far
above the ordinary run of mankind.
In passing, I shall at this time state that, in the year
1857, not very wide of the autumn, another critical epoch
presents itself; adverse rays prevail and adverse results
and tests will form the accompanying proofs, when time
matures the scene thus predicted, though peril, hostility,
• anti violence will engage the Emperor's attention, the
,-" 'imperial dignity remains powerfully sustained ; bat, as
before remarked, I intend to give further computations.
.",fjB T' It is worthy of note to observe the order of this chap-
ter of prescience. The period (April, 1852) when the'
{'fever of public opinion rose high, and enmity rife, and
3a °i equivocal, the bloom of pacific rays redundant
•43,t-hlionoura, were cheerfully accruing towards the dis-
promised by the directions would be
, nonSnininsited. •, Confiding in the paramount influence*
t'-'4-20iihninatttie alien with his marriage, I submitted the
V 4-7: prediction, and time truthfully gave the incontrovertible
proof from the commencement of 1853 to• the summer of
48 that year—all my predictions promised became a matter
• for history to record,
Again I would advert to the year 1854, when the first
- moiety of my autumnal predictions began, and assilni-
Aated with the scenes of the day, and from that corn-
- • :inencement to within six short months the entire of the;
" predictions are collectively confirmed. I would fv-k, is
suito ; a matter of surprise that a mathematical and philo-
s""t'efiPl4ical mind like Napoleon's should confide in his star
of destiny'r for being acquainted with the laws of astral
... motion,' he possesses the moral courage to avow it. The
higherr-branches of 'astral science have attracted that
,ni,L4-"ii.array of talent and versatility of genius of men whose
naives do hbnour to the pages of British history. The
"unacquainted portion of society are too apt to cii.sure
(Te"
what. they do not understand, too 'apt to permit
for'ttem; who pretend to dictate, with nGthi.
-"` 'tut prejudice for their pedestal, proving the old
8e—
" That fools rush on
Where angels fear to tread." -
