experience of many years actual observation, will, without 

 trouble, suggest to the observer what kind of weather will 

 most probably follow the moon's entrance into any of her 

 quarters, and that so near the truth, that in very few in- 

 stances will it be found to fail.

** Hence the nearer the time of the moon's change, full 

 and quarters, is to midnight, (tiiat is within two hours before 

 or after midnight) the more fair will the weather for that 

 quarter be in summer — but the nearer to noon the less fair. 



" Also the moon's full, change, and quarters liappening 

 <luring six of the afternoon hours, viz. from 4 to 10, may be 

 followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the 

 wind. The same changes during all the hours after midnight 

 except the two first, are unfavourable to fair weather — The 

 like nearly may be observed in the winter."
