Dr. Horsley's Abjlraci of the Weather. 36 
Irom this table it appears, that, of 92 changes of 
weather in the whole year, 46 fell on the days of the 
Moon’s pretended influence. And rejecting of thefe 
changes, all that were reverled within 24 hours, of 53 
that remain in all, 27 fell on the days of lunar influence. 
And it from thefe again we reject the oftantal days, con- 
fining the Moon’s influence to the days of fyzygie and 
quadrature, there ftill remain 14 of the 53 for thefe 
days. 
Of the new Moons four only were attended 'with a 
change of weather, and of the full Moons three; namely, 
the new Moons of the months of March, July, Decem- 
ber, and February; and the full Moons of October, No- 
vember, January. Both the fetting-in and the breaking 
of the great froft happened on days exempt from Lu- 
nar influence. 
Upon the whole, the trial turns out more in favour of 
the Moon this year than it did the laft. But ftill the 
changes were many more on the days confefledly exempt 
from her influence, than on thofe which have been fup- 
pofed to be the moft fubjedl to it. 
Thegreateft monthly height of the barometer w'as only 
four times in this year accompanied with a N.E.- wind, 
namely, in the months of April, June, November, and 
February. It was five times attended with a S.W. 
namely, in March, May, Auguft, September, and De- 
cember; and the greateft height obferved in the whole 
year was one of thefe, namely, in the month of March.
