Explanation of the Ufe of the DAILY JOURNAL.

THE Ufe and Design of this Memorandum Book, as has been in the preceding Years obferv'd, wants no Explanation to many, especially those who have already made ufe of it; but as we find by Experience (and mention it with Gratitude and Pleaſure) that we have annually a number of new Purchasers, it is still neceſsary for their Information to obſerve,

That every two Pages in it (one on the Right Hand, the other on the Left) are for the Appointments, Memorandums, and Businesſs of one entire Week.

The first of these two Pages, viz. that on the Left, is divided into two Parts, the one for all Appointments or Engagements every Day in the Year, the other for occasional Memorandums or Oſſerations.

The ſecond of these Pages, viz. that on the Right Hand [which used to be divided into ſeven Spaces, one for every Day of the Week; but now, at the Requett of a Number of our Friends, is left open without any Division, which undoubtedly will be found much more uſeful, and leſs confin'd, because the Receipts and Payments of one Day may require more Room than that of another,] which is rul'd for the Day of the Month, and for Pounds, Shillings, and Pence, is purpofely for making Minutes of all Monies Receiv'd, Paid, Lent, or Expend'd, and in the moſt concife and plain Manner. As for Example of one Day,

<table><thead><tr><th rowspan="2">Account of Monies</th><th colspan="2">Receiv'd</th><th colspan="2">Paid</th></tr><tr><th>l.</th><th>s.</th><th>l.</th><th>s.</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Of. Mr. J. Stanly</td><td>57</td><td>10</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Of Mr. R. Long, for Rent to Michaelmas</td><td>75</td><td>15</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Of George Grant</td><td>26</td><td>5</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>To Robert Short, on Note</td><td></td><td></td><td>21</td><td>10</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>To Giles Dun, his Bill in full</td><td></td><td></td><td>15</td><td>15</td><td>6</td></tr><tr><td>To Sundry Expences on my Journey, &c.</td><td></td><td></td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr></tbody></table>

So this Page forms a complete Pocket Caſh Book, as well as a Memorandum Book of Receipts and Difburſements of every Kind; while the oppoſite Page on the Left, anſwers for all Appointments and Occafional Memorandums; and will alſo ſerve for a Supply, when Room is wanted in the other, for Receipts or Payments, &c.

As these Books may be considered as the Annals of a Man's Life, and may be of Uſe, even after his Deceafe, they ought by all Means to be preferved, to have Recourſe to, when Occafion requires, to confult or prove, any Receipt or Payment, Memorandum or Accompt, Time or Occurrence.

mentioned, be it further enacted by the authority aforefaid, That in
caſe any perſon or perſons ſhall, at any time after the ſaid 1st of June,
commit or be guilty of any ſuch offence or offences as are herein be-

Abstract from the general Act, relating to Waggons, &c. paffed
in the 5th Year of GEORGE III.

ALL waggons and carts with nine inch wheels, paſſing through
any turnpike gate or bar, after the 24th of June 1765, are to
pay full toll, unleſs they are so constructed as to roll a surface of 16
inches on each fide, and in that case only half toll; and all narrow
wheels, are to pay one-half toll more than the nine inch wheels, ex-
cept carts, and carriages drawn by one horſe or two oxen and no more,
or with two horſes and four oxen and no more having fix inch wheels.
And no person, by virtue of any act of parliament, is to have claim,

By this act it is also further enacted, that if any surveyor, or person having the care of any turnpike road, shall suffer any rubbish, pofts, flones, &c. to remain for the space of forty-eight hours, within twelve feet on either side of the middle of such road, such person or surveyor shall forfeit and pay to the informer the sum of forty shillings, to be recovered before one Justice of the peace, whether he be or be not a truantee for the said road; and shall be levied by di-freßs, by a warrant from such Justice.

So much of the former acts as exempted broad wheel carriages from being weighed is repealed, and the trustees are empowered to erect weighing engines, and order all such carriages, as well as others, to be weighed thereat, (except those with regulated wheels, which roll at least fixteen inches on each side,) and take over and above the tolls twenty shillings per cwt. for all waggons weighing above fix ton, and twenty shillings per cwt. for all carts above three ton.

And by this act, no hedges or fences are to be made within the di-ftance of thirty feet, nor the ground to be ploughed within the di-ftance of fifteen feet from the middle or center of any turnpike road, on penalty of forty shillings for such ploughing, and such fences to be taken down by the trustees, at the expence of the person who shall erect the fame, which if not paid the offender may be committed; al-so, any five or more trustees are authorised to direct prosecutions by indictment, for any nuſance upon any turnpike roads under their care.

By this act no person or persons, after June the 1st, 1762, shall, upon any pretence whatsoever, take, kill, destroy, carry, fell, buy, or have in his, her, or their poſſeffion or uſe, any partridge, between the 12th day of February and the 1st day of September, in any year; or any pheafant, between the 1st day of February and the 1st day of October, in any year; or any heath fowl, commonly called black game, between the 1st day of January and the 20th day of Au-guft, in any year; or any grouſe, commonly called red game, between the 1st day of December and the 25th day of July in any year. Phea-ants taken in the proper feafon, and kept in mews, or breeding-places, excepted.—This act not to extend to Scotland.

Any person or persons offending in any of the aforefaid cafes, and shall be lawfully convicted thereof, by one or more credible witneſſes, shall forfeit 5l. for every partridge, pheafant, heath fowl, or grouſe, so taken, killed, destroyed, carried, fold, bought, or found in his, her, or their poſſeffion; the fame to be paid to the person who shall inform and ſue for the fame, which ſum or ſums may be recovered with full coſts of ſuit, in any of the Courts of Westminſter; and in ſuch action or ſuit, no eſſoin of law, or more than one imparlment will be allowed.

By a former clauſe of an act made in the 8th of George I. relating to the recovery of the penalties infiſted upon persons who destroy the game, it shall and may be lawful for any person whatsoever, either to proceed to recover the ſums forfeited by information and conviction before one or more Jüſtices, or to ſue for the fame by action of debt, or on the cafe, plaint, or complaint, in any of his Majety's Courts of Record. And by several former acts, a part or portion of all ſuch pe-cuniary penalties was directed to be applied to the uſe of the poor of the parish wherein ſuch offence was committed, by reaſon whereof the inhabitants of ſuch parish were diſallowed to give evidence touch-ing ſuch offenders.—And ſuits, or actions of debt, or on the cafe, plaint, or information, are often attended with great coſts and char-ges to the prosecutor, by which the end and intention of the act have been in a great meaſure fruſtrated; to remedy which as much as may be, the whole of the pecuniary penalties may be ſued for, and reco-vered to the ſole uſe of the prosecutor, in any of the Courts of West-minſter; and no eſſoin, or more than one imparlment, will be al-lowed, and the plaintiſt, if he recovers, shall have double coſts, and no part of the penalty so recovered, shall be paid to the poor of the parish where the offence was committed, any law or uſage to the con-trary notwithstanding.—And,

Explanation of the foregoing TABLE, &c.

THE first column contains the price of a bushel of wheat. Winchefer measure, from 3s. 3d. to 12s. the bushel, the allowance of the Magiftrates or Justices for baking being included; and in the opposite columns will be found the weight of the fixpenny wheaten and household, and the price of the quartern and half peck loaves: (— for example, if the middle price of wheat in the market is 4s. 3d. the bushel, and the allowance of the Magiftrates 1s. 6d. (as it is in London) find 5s. 9d. in the first column, and even therewith will be found 3 lb. 15 oz. the weight of the fixpenny wheaten loaf, and 5 lb. 5oz. 9dr. the weight of the fixpenny household; and 6d. 2 farthings, the price of the quartern wheaten loaf.—5d. the price of the quartern household; —and 1s. 1d. farthing the price of the half peck wheaten, and 9d. 3 farthings, the price of the half peck household.

Note, That the wheaten loaves are three fourths of the weight of the household loaves; and if the Magiftrates shall think fit to allow of any white loaves, they are to weigh at all times three-fourths of the weight of the household loaves of the fame price.

No provision having been made how Magiftrates should know what price the respective forts of meal and flour should be esteemed to bear, in proportion to the price of wheat, they are therefore to take notice, that the peck loaf of each sort of bread is to weigh, when well baken, 17 lb. 6 oz. averdupoize, and the rest in proportion; and that every fack of meal or flour is to weigh 12 Cwt. 2 qrs. net; and that from every fack of meal or flour there ought to be produced on the average, twenty fuchpeck loaves of bread; and, by obferving the fad rule, Magiftrates and Justices may at all times know if the baker hath more or lefs than the allowance they intend to give him.

In London the bakers being principally supplied with flour, the Magiftrates have thought fit to allow the baker 10s. for making and baking a fack of flour into bread; which answers very nearly to the allowance of 1s. 6d. for baking a buſhel of wheat: — for example, when wheat is 4s. 3d. the buſhel, the peck loaf wheaten is 2s. 2d. 1-half; the amount of twenty fuch loaves then will be 2l. 4s. 2d. and if the price of the fack of flour be 1l. 14s. 2d. the allowance intended is the fame either way.

The life of this table will appear from the following examples.

First, a yearly rent or clear annuity of 1. for fifteen years to come, appears by inspection to be at three per cent. worth 11.94. Or whatever the annuity is for that term, it is worth 11 years 94 parts value, by which multiplying the annuity we have the preſent worth: thus an annuity of 7 l. for 15 years is at 3 per cent. 7 times 11.94. i. e. 83.58. And to reduce the decimal parts (viz. 58) to ſhillings and pence, double them, which gives (116) and cut off the right-hand figure (6) we have (11) ſhillings and 6 parts, which number of parts increased by 1-5 thereof, gives (7) pence: so 83.58 is 83 l. 11s. 7 d. 2. But to renew (fuppofe) a leafe of 21 years at 6 per cent. whereof 7 years are lapfed, from 11.76, the value of the leafe for 21 years, deduct 9.29, the value of the unexpired 14 years; the value of the renewal, or fine to be paid in hand, remains 2.47 years value, by which the annual rent may be multiplied, and the parts reduced as before directed.

An Account of the Premiums to be paid for the Assurance of Lives to the Society for equitable Assurances, at their House in St. Nicholas-Lane, in Lombard-Street, where conſtant Attendance is given.

The fundamental parts of the constitution of this Society are theſe:

I. THAT in the fame manner as in the Hand-in-Hand and Union assurance offices of houſes and goods from fire, so in the Society for Equitable Assurances on Lives and Survivorſhips, the affured, are mutually affuſers one to the other.

II. The premiums of assurance are proportionate to the chance of death attending the age of the life to be affuſed.

III. A life may be affuſed for a ſingle year, a certain number of years, or for the whole continuance of the life, upon payment either of a ſingle premium, or of an annual premium, each proportionate to the hazard of the age at which the life begins to be affuſed, and to the time the assurance is to continue.

The premiums are aſcertained by calculations formed upon the bills of mortality of London, and confirmed by experiments made afterwards upon ſeveral bodies of men, which, by act of parliament or charter, have perpetual ſucceſſion, and in which the vacancies happening by death are filled up annually: agreeably to which the ſum of 1000 will be affuſed,

Of the NOBILITY, JUSTICIARS, &c. of England.
Their degrees of Honour, manner of Creation, and right of
Precedence, &c.

THE peerage of England, by which we understand the Nobility, are so called becaufe they are all *Pares Regni*, that is *Nobilitates Pares*, Peers in Nobility, tho' *gradu impares* of different degrees, of which there are fix in number, viz. *Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Biſhop*, and *Baron*; but next to the Royal family, thefe great officers of the church and crown are appointed to take place of all others of the Nobility, viz. his Grace the Lord Archbifhop of Canterbury, Primate of all England and Metropolitan; the Lord Chancellor, or Lord Kecper of the Great Seal; his Grace the Lord Archbifhop of York; the Lord Treasurer of England; the Lord President of the Privy Council; and the Lord Privy Seal.

The following great officers of court, whatsoever degree of nobility they poffeſs, take place of all others of the fame degree, viz. The Maſter of the Horſe to the King; the Lord Great Chamberlain of England; the Lord High Conſtable of England; the Lord Marſhal of England; the Lord High Admiſral of England; the Lord Steward; and the Lord Chamberlain of his Maſety's Houſhold. The Secretaries of State alſo, if they are Peers, take place of all of the fame degree of Nobility, except the great officers aforefaid.

DUKES

( 18 )

DUKES are the first degree of Nobility in England, and are addressed with the respectful term of Grace, and are stiled most high, puifant and noble princes. The latin title is Dux, which properly signifies a leader, for they were heretofore the great commanders in all military expeditions; and in peaceable times were the governors of diſtricts. Perſons of the highest birth and most approv'd merit were diſtinguished by this title. At preſent they are raifed to this honour by the King's patent, and the title is hereditary. The enſigns of a Duke's nobility are, a robe and mantle of crinſon velvet doubled on the shoulders with four guards ermine, and a cap of eſtate (the fame as the robe) and doubled with ermine (but not indented as that of the Prince) within a coronet of gold adorned with leaves of the fame without pearls.

The next degree of honour is that of MARQUIS, which antiently implied the wardenſhip of marches. This alſo is conferred by the King's patent, who is the fountain of honour. This title was instituted by King Richard II. in 1337. He is stiled the moſt noble and puifant Prince. His cap is the fame with that of a Duke, and his coronet, which is alſo gold, is a degree between a Duke and an Earl, partaking of the leaves of the one and the pyramid and pearl of the other; which leaves and pearls are of equal height. His title in latin is Marchio.

The inſteſture of an EARL by girding with a ſword, was firſt uſed by King Richard I. He is now created by patent. Thoſe in antient times were of the blood royal, and from thence are ſtill called by the King, *our moſt dear Couſiu*. He is term'd right honourable, and ſtiled the moſt noble and puifant Lord. His cap is the fame with thoſe of a Duke and Marquis, but his coronet is different. For as a Duke's has only ſtrawberry-leaves, and a Marquis's leaves and pearls of equal height, his has the pearls much higher than the leaves. His robes no way diſfer from theirs, except in this, that a Duke's mantle has four guards, a Marquis's three and a half, and an Earl's but three. In latin he is called *Comes*.

That of the VISCOUNT is a degree of honour betwixt an Earl and a Baron, and was firſt inſtituted by King Henry VI. in 1440. It is conferr'd by letters patent; and the perſon thus ennobled has a ſurcoat, hood, mantle, verge, cap, and coronet, but no ſword; neither is the doubling of his cap ſpotted, but plain white ſur; as are alſo the guards of his mantle, which are two and a half, and are called miniver, being made of the bellies of ſquirrels. His coronet is of gold and adorned with pearls ſet cloſe, without any elevation or ſet number. He is alſo termed right honourable, and his ſtyle is the moſt noble, *potent and honourable*. His title in latin is *Vice-comes*. For originally they were the deputies of Earls.

Next to theſe are the *Archbishops* and *Bishops*, who are barons by writ, patent, and conſecration. His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury

( 19 )

Canterbury is Primate of all England and Metropolitan, has power to ſummon the Archbifhop of York and the bifhops of his province to a national ſynod. Next to the Royal family, he is the firſt peer of the realm, and takes place of all. He is entitled the moſt reverend father in God. The King ſtyles him by the grace of God archbifhop of Canterbury; but he ſtyles himſelf by divine providence. A part of his office is, to crown the King. The bifhop of London is his provincial dean; the bifhop of Wincheſter his ſub-dean; the bifhop of Lincoln his chancellor; and the bifhop of Rocheſter his chaplain. He retains and qualifies eight chaplains, whereas no Duke can qualify more than fix.

His Grace the Lord Archbifhop of York, precedes all Dukes that are not of the blood royal, and all great officers, the Lord Chancellor or Lord Keeper excepted. He is Primate of England, and Metropolitan of his own province, is alſo entitled, *the moſt reverend father in God by divine providence*. He crowns the Queen and is her perpetual chaplain.

The reſt of the bifhops have the title of lords and right reverend fathers in God by divine permiſſion. By a ſatute of King Henry VIII. the bifhops of London, Durham, and Wincheſter, take place in the Houſe of Lords of all the reſt, who then fit according to the ſeniority of their conſecration. Of theſe there are five and twenty under the two Archbifhops.

BARONS are made either by writ or patent. The inſtitution by patent began under Richard II. in 1388. His mantle has two guards; and his coronet ſix pearls upon the circle, given to that degree by King Charles II. His ſtyle is the moſt noble and right honourable.

The LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR is the firſt in civil affairs, after the Royal family. His office is, to keep the great ſeel, to mitigate the rigour of the common law, and to diſpofe of all eccleſiſtcal benefits in the King's gift under twenty pounds a year in the King's books. For this, and other reaſons, till the time of King Henry VIII. ſome clergyman was ordinarily appointed to this office. A Lord Keeper is created by the delivery of the great ſeel to him from the hands of the King; and ſo is a Lord Chancellor, but this laſt has a patent beſides.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Court of King's Bench, aftiſed by his three Judges, handles all the pleas of the crown, all that concerns the life or member of a ſubjeſt, all treaſons, felonies, breaches of the peace, &c. corrects all errors in fact and law, and in all pleas, except only in the Exchequer. He is created by a ſhort writ; but his Judges by patent. This is the highest Court in England at common law, where the King is ſuppoſed to fit in perſon.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Common Pleas, with his three Judges, try all civil cauſes, real and perſonal, according to the strict rule of the law; and Serjeants at Law are the only pleaders in his court.

The

( 20 )

The LORD CHIEF BARON of the Exchequer is an office of high honour and profit. He fits alone in the afternoon at Guild-Hall in term time upon Nigh Prius, takes audits, accompts and recognizances, &c. In his absence this court has three other Barons to supply his place. There is also a fifth called the Cusfitor Baron, who wears the sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and officers of the Custom-Houfe, but is no itinerant Judge, nor counted one of the twelve. The Exchequer has one court of law, and another of equity. All the law proceedings are before the Barons. But the court of equity, which is held in the Exchequer chamber, is before the Treasurer, Chancellor, and Barons. They are called Barons, becaufe they fit in the Exchequer, where Barons, both spiritual and temporal, were used to fit long after the conquest.

The chief of the Chancellor's or Lord Keeper's twelve afflants, is the Maſter of the Rolls; a place of great dignity in the gift of the King. He appoints the fix clerks in Chancery, keeps the rolls, poſſeffes the houſe so called, and hears caufes and makes orders there, by com-milſion, with two Maſters, in right of his office.

The offices of Attorney General and Solicitor General are very important, and they are reckoned domeſtic ſervants of the King. The buſineſs of the former is to manage prosecutions for the crown, and to attend its interſt in the Exchequer; and of the latter, to afflirt the former, under whose direction he is.

The home trade is managed by waggons and pack-horves, or by the
fea, or navigable rivers, with which England abounds more than any
other country; and the waggons, lighters, &c. constantly employ
great numbers of our industrrons people, especially the coal trade to
Newcastle, which is the chief nurfery for feamen, among whom a suf-
ficient number of able mariners may be constantly had for the imme-
diate service of the ftafe.

Prodigious are the numbers of labouring people that are constantly employed in the transport of provisions and commodities both by fea and land, and yet nothing comparable to thefe employed in the manufactures: London is crowded with thefe forts, as are many of the chief cities and great towns in the country.

As to the difference between the foreign and domestic trade, it lies chiefly in this; the foreign trade is carried on by bartering for our commodities, the domestic makes money circulate amongst ourfelves.

Great and wonderful are the advantages of our domestic trade, but fill the foreign is much beyond it. 'Tis true, England herfelf affords moft of the neceflaries of human life; but fill it would be impoffible for her to subſift and fupport her grandeur, without the affiftance of a foreign trade.

'Tis by her foreign trade that England employs her poor, improves her manufactures, enriches the nation, ſtrengthens the ſtate, and makes ſo considerable a figure in the world.

By this trade her ſtrength in fhipping is encreafed. By this ſhe grows rich and powerful, is the ſupport of her friends, a terror to her enemies, and enjoys every thing the world can afford, either to gratify the fancy or pleafe the appetite; and (what's her greateſt happineſs) as Holland, her principal rival, transports foreign commodities for the moſt part, England transports chiefly her own, which ſhe ſends not only all over Europe, but likewife to the remoteſt parts of the world.

The principal commodities of the growth of England, are cloth and
ſtuffs made from her own wool; tin, lead, copper, coal, great guns,
bombs, carcaſſes, &c. She likewife exports great quantities of corn,
red herrings, pilchards, ſalmon, ſaffron, and leather; and, what is
much to the reputation of her artificers and manufacturers, ſeveral of
her commodities are every where in very great eſteem, particularly her
ſattin, damaſk, velvet, pluſh, locks, pendulums, watches, barome-
ters, ſpectacles, and all forts of mathematical instruments, of all which
ſhe yearly exports great quantities.

Besides theſe, ſhe receives constantly from her plantations abroad
abundance of sugar, indigo, coco nuts, tobacco, cotton, &c. which
ſhe ſends into foreign countries with great advantage; nor is her trade
to Ireland and Newfoundland ſifhery leſs beneficial.

This

( 39 )

This trade is regulated chiefly at London by ſelect companies, em-
powered with royal authority, who from time to time concert meaſures
for their own improvement and advantage.

Of the Courts of Judicature held at Westminſter-Hall: And first of the Court of Chancery.

THE Court of Chancery, next to the high Court of Parliament, is
the ſupreme Court of the kingdom. The deſign of this Court
was originally to relieve the ſubject againſt fraud, oppreſſion and un-
fortunate accidents; but by the delays and artiſices of the lawyers,
the remedy is often worſe than the diſeafe.

The Judge of this Court is Lord High Chancellor, the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, or Commissioneers for that purpofe. The Lord High Chancellor is the chief magiſtrate of the kingdom, and a prime minister of ſtate: when he goes abroad the mace and ſeal always go with him. His office is computed to be worth 100001. per ann. at leaſt, which he holds only *durante beneplacito*.

To affiſt the Lord Chancellor, Lord Keeper, &c. there are twelve
Maſters of Chancery, who originally were all doctors of civil law, and
generally men of great learning and integrity. The chief of theſe is
the Maſter of the Rolls, ſo called from having the custody of all char-
ters, patents, commiſſions, &c. The houſe itſelf is called the Rolls,
in which are kept all the rolls ſince the beginning of the reign of
Henry III. the reſt being kept in the Tower.

The Maſterſhip of the Rolls is an office of great honour and profit,
in the gift of the King. He has the privilege to keep a court at his
houſe as well as the Lord Chancellor, and ſits at the uſual times, as
well in as out of term, but his decrees are appealable to the Court of
Chancery.

He has in his gift ſeveral places of great profit and truſt, and when
he ſits in the Houſe of Lords, his place is next to the Lord Chief juſ-
tice of England upon the ſecond wool ſack.

Next to the Maſters in Chancery are the Six Clerks, who have
under them no leſs than ninety, who have each a ſeat in the office,
where ſome of them get at leaſt 7 or 8001. per ann.

Of the Division of Time, as used by all Nations. The Golden Number, Epaft, Age, and Change of the Moon and her Southing. To find the Dominical or Sunday Letter for any Year. Number of Direction, Account of the Planets, Signs, &c.

THE parts of time in use among us are minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, ages, cycles, and periods.

A year is a space or part of time measured by one entire revolution of some celestial body in its orb, viz. the fun or moon.

That which is measured out by the revolution of the fun in the ecliptic, or fun's annual path, is called the folar year, which contains 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, and 14 fecons.

The lunar year is the space of time in which the moon performs 12 complete revolutions round the earth, called lunations, and contains 354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes, and 38 fecons.

Years are divided into *astronomical* and *civil*: the *astronomical* is that which refuls from or depends on the principles of *astronomy*, as thofe above-mentioned.

The civil year is that in common uſe among the ſeveral nations of the world, beginning and ending according to the uſage and custom of any country.

The civil solar year is again either common or biffextile; the common year is reckoned to contain only 365 days, the odd hours and minutes being in this neglected. But the biffextile, otherwise called leap year, conſits of 366 days, which is one day more than the common year, which is called the intercalary, or biffextile day.

This intercalation, or addition of a biffextile day, was first appointed by Julius Cefar, to be made every fourth year, in order that the civil year might keep pace with the folar year. For the fix hours (whereby the latter exceeded the former) in four years make a whole day, which was then added to the 23d day of February, which, according to the Roman reckoning, was the fixth of the calends of March in the Roman calendar; so every biffextile, or fourth year, they reckoned the fixth of the calends of March twice, in Latin bis fextus dies, and from thence came the prefent term of biffextile, commonly called leap year, becaufe all the fucceeding days leap forward one day. But in our reckoning we add that intercalary or biffextile day to the 28th of February, which amounts to juſt the fame thing.

The first and principal divination of the year is into months, which are of two kinds, viz. *astronomical* and *civil*. The *astronomical month*, which is also the natural one, is properly a lunar month, or the space of time in which the moon runs thro' the *Zodiac*, or twelve signs, and is either *fynodical*, called a lunation, (which is the time contained between the moon's parting from the fun at a conjunction, and returning to him again, which is in 27 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 3 fecons) or a periodical

( 43 )

riodical month, which is the ſpace of time wherein the moon makes a complete revolution, or returns to the fame point of the *Zodiac* whence ſhe departed, which contains 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, and 8 ſecons.

The *folar month* is the ſpace of time in which the fun runs through one ſign of the *Zodiac*, which months, one with another, contain each 30 days, 10 hours, 29 minutes, and 5 ſecons.

Civil months are thofe which are fram'd to ſerve the uſes of civil life, and are different in different nations and countries of the world.

A month is divided into four parts, which we call weeks, and each week conſits of ſeven parts called days: of theſe months, that is conſifting of only four weeks, there are 13 in a Julian year, and one day over; of weeks 52, and of days 365, as before-mentioned.

A day is either the ſpace if time contained between the moments of the fun's riling and fetting, or in which he makes one entire revolution. The first is called an artificial day, the latter a natural day.

The artificial day is ever variable and unequal; for the fun's course being always oblique to the horizon, and always varying, cauſeth that the time of his ſtay, or his continuance above the horizon, which is the artificial day, is ever variable and changing.

The natural day is either *astronomical* or *civil*. The *astronomical* is the time which paffes between the fun's leaving any *meridian* and its return to the fame; that is, the ſpace of time in which the earth makes one revolution about its own axis, which is twenty-four hours and three minutes.

It is alſo called the *civil*, becauſe it is by divers nations reckoned divers was, and is measured out by the equable motion of machines, as clocks, watches, &c. This, that is the *civil* day, is always equal, and contains juſt 24 hours. The *Babylonians* begin to account their day from *fun riling*, as alſo do the inhabitants of Nuremberg in Germany; the *Athenians*, *Jews*, and *Italians*, from *fun fetting*; the *Egyptians* and *English* at midnight; but the *astronomers* begin the day at noon, to which time are the places of all the planets reckoned in our ephemerides or almanacks.

An hour is the 24th part of a day, and is equal or unequal. Equal hours are thofe by which the whole time of a civil natural day and night is divided into 24 equal parts. Unequal hours are thofe by which the term of an artificial day is divided into 12 parts, and the nights into as many.

The hours are denominated of the people who uſe them. Thus *Babylonian* hours commence from *fun riling*, *Italian* from *fun fetting*, *astronomical* from *noon* or *mid-day*.

An hour is divided into 60 equal parts, called *minutes*, and each minute into *seconds*; theſe again into 60 *thirds*, and ſo on.

The

( 44 )

The larger spaces of time which have found distinction among mankind, are 1st, a lustrum, which was a certain space of time applied formerly to civil uses, as sacrificing, taxation, letting of farms, &c. and confited of five years.

2d, *Seculum*, a century or space of 100 years.

3d, *Ævum*, an age, a space of time indefinitely used for the life or age of a man, sometimes for 100 years, at others for eternity.

4th, *A cycle*, is a *circle of years*, *months*, *days*, &c. or it is a perpetual rotation or circulation of any particular space of time, so that the *laft* continually returns upon and succeeds the *first*.

*Of the Golden Number.*

By the *golden number*, which is also called the *prime*, is meant the *cycle*, *circle* or revolution of the moon, which is a period of 19 years, in which time the lunar aspects are nearly the same as they were 19 years ago. It begins with *one*, and so on to 19, then begins again. The use of it is to find the *change*, *full*, and *quarter* of the moon, and by that means the time of *Easter* and other moveable feasts are known.

*To find the Golden Number.*

RULE. Add 1 to the year, and divide the sum by 19, the remainder is the golden number.

Required the golden numbers for 1766 and 1768?

N. B. 0 remains therefore the golden number is 19
2 golden number

*By the Golden Number or Prime to find the Epaft.*

* The *epaft* is the amount of the solar above the lunar year, which being somewhat more than 10 days and 21 hours, to avoid fractions, the annual epaft is eleven days.

* *Epaft*, from the Greek, signifying added numbers, a certain number of days added to the lunar year to make it even or equal to the solar year; for the solar confiding of 365 days, and the lunar but of 354, the lunations every year get eleven days before the solar year; but thereby in 19 solar years the moon finishes 20 times 12 lunations, and gets up one whole solar year; and having finished that circuit, begins again with the fun, and so from 1 to 19 years; for the first year afterwards the moon will go before the fun but 11 days, which is called the *epaft* of that year, the second year 22 days, the third year 33 days; but 30 being an entire lunation, cast that away, and three shall be the *epaft* of that year, and so on, adding yearly eleven days.

RULE.

( 47 )

compleated, the days of the month return to the fame order and to the fame days of the week.

In every *Biftextile* year there are two *Dominical letters*, the first of which takes place, that is, begins with January, and holds till the 24th or 25th of February, and the other continues the rest of the whole year. For in the *Biftextile* year, those two days are reputed as one, and have both of them the fame letter F annexed to them, and by this means the order of the Sunday letter is interrupted, and a different one henceforth takes place. For example, the year 1764 was *Biftextile*, and the beginning of the Sunday letter was A. and the 19th of February being Sunday, it was the last time this letter officiated, for the next Sabbath was indicated by the letter G, as thus appears by the days and letters of the last week immediately preceding the Sunday letter G, viz.

Middlesex and Essex pay 104 parts, and send only sixteen members. As England and Wales send 513 members to parliament, so the whole of the present land tax is divided into so many parts; cities are included in their respective counties.

Nota. Scotland sends 45 members to parliament, and the whole kingdom pays little more than the county of Bucks.
