„Youi* correspondent J. W. in his remarks 
,,on the supposed ciianges of the vveather at 
;,the periods of the change of the moon, or at 
,,the new and full moon, thinks that, there 
„is a visible alteiation to be observed four days 
„befofe the new moon.‘‘ I have kept a daily 
account of the weather for betweeii twenty 
and thirty years; about four or five in Midd- 
lesex, ten in Warwick, and as long in New- 
bury; and I take upon me positively to assert, 
that the notion is entirel}" groundlefs; and that 
there is no favourable change, nor any change 
of weather, at the new or full moon» more 
ihtn at any other time, All astronomical, 
astrological, or philosophical reflections on the 
subject are therefore idle and imaginary.
