zadkiel's Almanac.

As far back as the year 1854, X.
j. Morrison, formerly an officer IN
the British navy, and meteoroligist
of no small merit and repute, pub
lished the first year number of a
sProphetic Almanac, by Zsdkiel the
Seer" He believed declared, at all
events that 'slike the Chaldeans, he
could read the stars" and great
number of credulous people in Eng
land, who had faith in him, paid
him literally for his advice. Morri-
son passed away several years ago,
but Zadkiers Almanac, with its pre-
dictions, is published to this day,
and has a very large sale, having
taken the place of "Vox Stellarum,'
by Francis Moore, physician, which
had immense popularity from 1850
to about 1884. The volume for
1880 has number of predictions for
the next twelve months. As
matter of curiosity, we subjoin pre-
