VOX STELLARUM: 

 A NEW PROPHETICAL AND POLITICAL 



FOR THE YEAR OF HUMAN REDEMPTION 



1833. 



BY THOMAS MOORE, PHYSICIAN AND ASTROLOGER, 



ON MUNDANE AFFAIRS. 



MY Friends and Readers I give you all a hearty welcome with 

 the NEW YEAR. Since I addressed you last year, great things have 

 happened, all of which I then foretold. Stranger events are now 

 about to come to pass, which from my present intimacy with the 

 planets, I can confidently predict. In the mean time be assured that 

 the Monthly Magazine will proceed, as it has done, without puff, 

 though not without profit, as well to those concerned as to your- 

 selves ; for the which latter blessing, may heaven grant that I find 

 you next year both wiser and better till when, 



Your loving Friend and Servant, 



T. MOORE, P. & S.
