The historian assigns eight reasons Tor

: the troops marched out to war, when
Saturn and Mars we're in conjunction
with the sign of Cancer."
So firmly did the Turkish Dl'an ne,
lieye in astrology, that they attr'ou'eu
the old Prussian Frederick's tide Of COCO
fortune. to the help of that science. Ac.
cordingly, the Sultan Mustapha, sent
Resmi Archmed to Berlin, and FURNISH
ed him with private instructions 10 use
all his eIoquence to induce the k'aS o,
Prussia to cede THREE Of his skliItn'
astroIogers to the Sultan. This sspl'
ent message was faithfully delivered By
bin to Frederick and he was informed
through the medium Of his interpreter
that de6nitive answer would soon De
given to his request. At the subsequent
audience, Frederick led the ln to a
window which commanded the grea,
square, then filled with soldiery. And
at the same time that he pointed cut lis
troops to the Ambassador, he told HIM
that his three advisers in war and peace,
were Experience, Discipline and Ec"no'
nv these, and these alone, he conclu-
dsd. are my three chief astrol'Sers-l
have no others and this is the secret.
