In like manner as we have given the precepts for judging the vernal equinox, even so must the student proceed in forming his predictions from the remaining quadrants of the year, framing his horoscope for the summer quarter, at the precise hour and minute when the Sun enters the constellation Cancer; for the autumnal quarter, when Sol enters the beginning of the sign Libra, and the hyemal, or winter quarter, when he in like manner touches the first star in the constellation Capricorn. The time token each of these takes place, the Ephemeris, as before said, will accurately show; and, moreover, these ingresses are in the Ephemeris calculated to solar time, which requires no addition or subtraction whatever to be made, contrary to nativities where the time is accounted by clocks and watches, and consequently not correct, till regulated by the Sun. - Thus the method of predicting by the horoscopes of the year in State Astrology, is void of any difficulty in the process, and sufficiently plain and easy to any one who will but pursue the subject in a scientific way, as we have heretofore described.

As a stimulus to such proceedings, it may not be deemed altogether irrelevant to the subject, by remarking that the most remarkable events in the fate of Europe and the surrounding nations, have been actually foretold, (through the simple but beautiful theory of Judicial Astrology). - Thus, in the Prophetic Almanack, the exact day on which the late Queen Caroline died was predicted twelve months before it took place, and at a time when the subject thereof was in the enjoyment of health, and to all appearance long-lived; as also the war with the Burmese, and other special predictions. - And to go no farther back than the present year, in the Prophetic Messenger for 1827, the author of the work predicted the death of the late illustrious and lamented Duke of York; the similar changes in the cabinet; the aggression in Portugal, etc. - Even as late as the last month, (November 1827) there is the following remarkable announcement of an event that even now continues to occupy almost undivided attention, namely, the battle of Navarino. The author's words are these " The Turks are going to open variance with a gigantic power; a dreadful shipwreck or disaster at sea is shown by the signs of the month, which are remarkably replete with evil* etc". Therefore it necessarily follows, if that the science, when closely studied, invests the diligent enquirer with these " prophetic powers", which we have given proofs that it does, it must be worthy of the patronage and support not only of the learned, but of the most dignified; since many contingent events, which necessarily cause almost fatal errors in the system of foreign dominions, might by this means be rectified and partially prevented.

Doubtless, great care and almost undivided attention to the courses of the stars and the " bright messengers of Heaven", coupled with a true philosophical and patient genius, entirely divested of prejudice, with a rigid observance of truth in every instance, are qualifications not easily found at the present day, when wealth and power are the idols most men worship; but still it must be allowed, that "patience and perseverance will perform wonders;" and no one should rest satisfied with a bare superficial examination of any art or science, but according to that saying of the ancients, Veritas in Pieteo (or " truth lies hid in a well") they should strive by all possible means to arrive at the possession of sterling knowledge, which is the noblest Vide Prophetic Messenger, page 38. As also the hieroglyphical engraving for that year, which was issued as early as October 1826, and contained an actual picture of the grandest events of the ensuing year, namely, the firing of cannons, the march of armies, a naval fight, etc. etc. As singular an instance of Astrological foresight as could well be adduced! attribute of mankind in every age. And the true observance of nature in her most retired paths, will eminently conduce to the attainment of this desired object.

Thus Milton :

" Now Heav'n in all her glory shone sod roll'd Her motions, at the great first mover's hand first wheel'd their course; earth in her rich attire Consummate lovely mil'd; air, water, earth, By fowl, fish, beast, was flown, was swum, was walk'd Frequent; and of the sixth day yet remain'd; There wanted yet the matter-work, the end Qf all yet done; a creature who, not prone And brute, at other creatures, but endued; With sanctity of reason, might erect Hit stature, and upright, with front serene, Govern the Test, self knowing, and from thence Magnamimous to correspond with Heaven ; And worship God supreme, who made him chief Of all his works".
