JUDICIUM  ASTROLOGIUM  PRO  ANNO,  1795. 


ASTONISHING  COMPLETION  OF  THE  PREDIC- 
TIONS  IN  THE  MERLIN  OF  LAST  YEAR. 
We  publifhed  in  the  Leicefler  Merlin  for  the  year  one 
thoufand  feven  hundredand  ninety  fourageneral  fketch  of  our 
ideas  of  thofe  unparalleled  events  which  might  reafonably 
be  expected  to  fol)ow  the  great  eclipfe  of  the  fun  which  hap- 
pened September  5,  1793,  tne  total  eclipfe  of  the  Moon 
which  happened  February  14,  1794;  and  from  the  pontion 
of  the  heavenly  orbs  at  the  time  the  Sun  entered  the  fign 
Aries  in  March  following.  Our  judgment  of  the  prodigies, 
convuHions  in  nature,  and  political  diforders  which  might 
be  expected  to  follow  the  eclipfe  of  the  Sun,  was  advertifed 
to  the  public  under  the  title  of  cc  Annus  Tenebrefus,  or 
the  dark  year."  We  then  obferved  that  "  a  few  months 
after  the  remarkable  eclipfe  of  the  Sun  in  April  1715,  the 
Habeas  Corpus  ac~l  was  fufpended."  It  has  again  been  fuf- 
pended. A  large  fire  happened  atLimehoufe  the  year  after 
the  folar  eclipfe  in  17 15.  Another  which  deftroyed  about 
600  houfes,  happened  within  a  twelvemonth  of  the  laft 
eclipfe  of  that  luminary.  That  eclipfe  fell  in  13  degrees 
of  the  fign  Virgo,  under  which  the  city  of  Paris,  and  great 
part  of  France  is  generally  allowed  by  aftrologers  to  be  in- 
fluenced ;  what  oceans  of  blood  have  flowed!  what  civil 
diftraftionshave  rent  the  happiriefs  of  the  new  republic  !  and 
with  refpeel:  even  to  our  own  nation,  was  there  ever  a  year 
paft  in  the  remembrance  of  any  friend  to  his  country  and 
rnankind,  more  worthy  of  being  called  the  dark  year  ? 
We  alfo  affirmed  in  our  publication  of  Auguft  1793,  "  that 
during  the  following  month,  the  Germans  would  find  it  im- 
poflible,  for  the  prefent,  to  penetrate  farther  into  France  ; 
that  Heaven  would  arreft  their  progiefs  ;  that  they  would 
ygain  retreat ;  not  indeed  in  fo  diftreffed  a  condition  as  the 
army  had  done  in  1792,  which  was  then  commanded  by  the 
Duke  of  Bi  unfwick,  (of  manifefto  memory  !)  but  that  the 
IlaVs  would  again  fight  againft  them;  and  that  when  the 
Germans  began  to  retire  from  the  ineffectual 
attempt  to  subjugate  france,  we  expressed 
cur  fears  that  British  Enthusiasts  would  be 

EAGER    TO    PURSUE     THE    HORRIBLE  ENTERPRIZE!" 

every  man  of  candour  mutt  allow  that  events  have  fully  juf- 
tified  our  predictions  ;  and  in  refpect  to  the  laft  impreflion 
of  this  almanac,  we  did  not,  in  imitation  of  fome  other  wri- 
ters  of  thofe  mifcellaneous  productions,  ranfack  the  ambi- 
guous and  doubtful  prophecies  of  No  s  trod  am  us,  but 

from 


(   *7  ) 

from  the  rules  of  art  we  declared  that  «  an  fclipfe  or  de- 
privation of  light  of  the  luminaries  to  be  indicative  of  ap* 
jh  proaching  viciflitudes,  or  mutations  in  the  world  ;  deluges, 

tempefts,  fchifms,  fires,  droughts,  peililences,  feditions* 
\vars,  and  earthquakes,  thofe  mighty  winding-meets  that 
bury  all  things  in  oblivion !"  We  declared  that  the  late 
telipfe  of  the  Moon  implied  approaching  thefts  publicly 
countenanced,  robberies,  rapines,  pilling  and  poling  the 
people;  that  Sweden,  Denmark,  and  Norway  would  be 
fenfible,  as  well  as  the  people  of  this  country,  of  its  afflicting 
effects;  that  the  lafl  winter  would  be  a  mild  one;  that 
the  German  armies  would  be  early  in  motion  ;  that  they 
would  prove  to  be  our  friends  only  from  the  teeth  outwar&i 
and  that  there  was  fome  probability  of  our  coming  to  an 
open  disagreement  with  our  faturnine — fordid  allies  ;  that 
Ireland,  Bavaria,  Catalonia.  Ghent,  Francfort.  Rufiia,  Po- 
land, Portugal,  Nantz,  Mofel,  Piedmont,  Montferrat,  (to 
which  we  might  have  added  the  ifland  of  St.  Chriilopher's, 
Martinico,  Gaudaloupe3  St.  Domingo,  as  being  under  the 
fame  ftgn)  the  foulh  of  France,  many  parts  of  Italy,  and 
the  Romilh  hierarchy,  with  all  its  eremites  and  friars,  would 
feel  its  influences,  and  drink  deep  of  thofe  bitter  judgments? 
of  God  that  are  now  abroad  upon  the  earth. "  From  the 
pofition  and  the  afpe&s  of  the  celeflial  wanderers,  we  de- 
clared that  pacific  meafures  would  be  adopted  by  the  legif- 
lators  of  the  United  States  of  America  -y  that  there  would  be 
fome  tendencies  in  fome  of  the  powers  at  war  towards 
peace;  but  that  difpofitipn  would  fhortlv  be  fuceeeded  by 
a  flate  of  the  moil  furious  hoflilities,  by  dexterous  frauds, 
under  plaufible  pretexts,  and  that  we  mould  not  have  any 
frofl  of  long  continuance  during  the  winter."  In  our  judg- 
ment of  the  fpring  quarter,  we  faid  that  the  pofition  of  the 
heavens  portended  the  death  of  fome  lady  of  great  diftiric- 
tion  ;  the  revolt  of  a  people  at  once  furious  and  cunning  ; 
alarming  murmurings  in  mofl  countries  in  Europe ;  great 
commotions  or  political  earthquakes  in  divers  Hates  and 
kingdoms;  that  the  Rhine  and  the  neighbouring  cities 
would  rebellow  with  alarms,  and  that  Mars  would  pafs  in 
deftructive  triumph  over  feveral  provinces  ;  that  Auflria, 
Frankfort  and  Spires  would  be  fenfible  of  the  deleterious 
effects  of  the  radiations  of  the  fta^s;  that  the  Duke  of  York's 
birth-day  indicated  approaching'  misfortune,  by  reafon 
(among  others)  of  the  quartile  of  Mars  and  Mercury;  that 
the  months  of  Auguft  and  September  was  diflinguifhed  by 
afpects  which  were  fure  prefages  of  thunder,  fhipwrecks  at

As  want  of  room  would  not  permit  us  to  difclofe  mote 
particularly  our  expectations  of  the  retreat  of  the  armies  of 
the  allies,  and  the  fuccefs  of  the  Poles,  which  we  expected  * 
certainly  to  happen  in  the  month  of  Auguft,  and  be  appa- 
rent to  all  the  world  in  September:  we  afterwards  tranf- 
mittcdtoMr.  Phillips,  many  particulars,  with  a  defire 
that  they  mould  be  printed  for  public  information  ;  but  his 
fevere  fuffering  in  prifon,  the  intolerant  madnefs  of  th» 
times,  and  the  ftrange  improbability  there  appeared  to 
him  that  the  moll  formidable  confederacy  that  Europe  ever 
faw,  Ihould  be  baffled  and  beaten  by  the  lingular  difcove- 
Ties  in  art,  and  the  fuper  human  exertions  and  courage  of 
one  nation,  feemed  fo  far  to  furpafs  every  degree  of  proba-

for  prefenting  the  terrible  truths  of  an  artift,  whofe  heart 
bleeds  for  the  misfortunes  of  his  falling  country,  and  fay,

THE  FOUR  QUARTERS  OF  THE  YEAR. 

The  bruma.,  or  Winter  Quarter,  begins  December  21, 
1794,  ih.  35m.  P.  M.  at  this  time  the  earth  wheels 
into  the  northern  fign  Cancer,  and  the  Sun  appears  to  enter 
Capricorn  ;  there  will  be  22  deg.  of  that  iign  upon  the  mid» 
heaven,  and  20  deg.  of  Taurus  afcending.  In  the  eaitern 
Imitor,  Saturn  is  retrogade  in  the  afcendant,  fo  is  Venus  the 
gubernator  of  the  horofcope  ;  fhe  is  applying  to  the  con- 
junction of  Jupiter,  and  thi  Sun  in  the  ninth  houfe  :  the 
Moon  and  Mercury  are  in  the  eighth,  in  Sextile  to  Mars  in 
21  deg.  of  Aquarius  located  in  the  eleventh,  and  applying 
from  thence  by  a  quartile  a/pect  to  Saturn  in  the  afcendant  : 
hence  we  infer  that,  the  Dutch  will  have  lately  concluded 
fome  new  treaty,  rather  fatisfactory  to  them,  confidering 
their  prefent  helplefs  and  apparently  undone  condition. 
The  {ignificators  of  the  king,  parliament,  and  people  of 
Great  Britain  being  in  reception  with  each  other,  fhews 
the  good  undemanding  that  juft  now  fubfifls  between  them, 
but  they  are  all  (we  fpeak  of  the  majority)  much  perplexed 

con- 


(  *9  ) 

concerning  what  meafures  are  moil  expedient  to  be  adopted, 
Mercury  being  lord  of  the  fecond  and  fixth,  gives  us  reafori 
to  fear  that  many  of  our  poor  foldiers  are  in  a  ftate  of  cap- 
tivity, or  at  leaft  of  total  inaction  as  to  any  ufeful  purpofe 
their  courageous  commander  the  Duke  of  York,  is  coming 
to  a  confutation  with  the  grandees  in  London ;  and  the 
fcheme  of  the  heavens  manifefts  the  immenfe  wafte,  and  ir- 
recoverable lofs  of  public  trcaiure,  of  all  the  parties  now  at 
war.  One  pofition  of  the  heavenly  erraties  will  have  very 
notable  effects  during  this  quarter,  viz.  the  quartile  o£ 
Saturn  and  Mars,  hence  we  infer,  that  England  and  her 
mercenary  allies,  are  far  from  entertaining  a  cordial  regard 
and  confidence  in  each  other  ;  probably  from  the  backward- 
ness of  the  latter  to  purme  the  mad  buhnefs  of  war. 

At  the  commencement  of  the  year,  the  affairs  of  Europe 
will  have  a  very  pacific  afpect ;  Auftria's  proud  lord,  Pruma's 
faithlefs  king,  and  their  difcomfited  (laves  are  now  anxious 
to  end  the  fanguinary  quarrel  which  they  provoked,  and  the 
mind  of  the  Spanifh  monarch  is  fraught  with  a  variety  ot* 
woe.  In  thofc  countries  under  Mercury  and  Aquarius,  the 
people  will  be  actuated  by  a  rancorous  defire  to  effect  the 
deftruction  of  each  other  ;  and  let  the  attentive  reader  ob- 
ferve  what,  fliall  fhortly  happen  in  or  near  Frankfort,  Ba- 
varia, Weftphalia,  Bohemia,  Sx  l  esi  a,  Catalonia,  Piedmont, 
Sweden,  Germany,  Ireland,  Poland,  Prussia,  fome 
parts  of  the  Russian  empire,  and  the  northern  parts  of 
America  ;  about  the  25th  of  December,  the  middle  of  Fe- 
bruary, and  the  latter  end  of  March  and  April. 

WEATHER,  &c.  THIS  QUARTER. 
January.—- -Wet  weather  may  be  expected  more  or  lefs  ia 
various  places,  from  the  lft.to  the  6th — 10th  and  12th.  fom© 
great  marriage  now  attracts  public  notice  ;  expect  cold  rain, 
or  inow,  and  to  hear  of  the  motions  of  armies  over  rivers 
or  mailt  places,  from  hence  till  the  beginning  of  next 
month.  Eighteenth  and  21  ft,  rain  or  fleet,  or  brifk  winds, 
with  fome  agreeable  news  to  the  merchants.  Twenty- 
eighth,  cold  winds.. — God  grant  that  our  minifters  may, 
'ere  this,  have  manifefled  a  proper  fenfe  of  their  rafhnefs  and 
injuftice  to  North  America,  by  making  rcftitution  for  de- 
redations  committed  on  her  commerce,  and  yielding  to 
er  other  claims  by  an  amicable  fettlement. 
February. — Firft,  4th,  7th  ;  rain,  fnow,  or  bluftering  gales: 
The  trine  of  Saturn  and  Jupiter  which  happens  now, 
would  incline  us  to  hope  for  a  fufpenfion  of  hoftilities,  if  it 
were  not  that  the  lunar  eclipfe  menaces  fuch  fcenes  of  dif- 
cord  and  contention,  that  we  fear  to  fay  "  Peace,  peace

drirk  rainy  weather.  Some  eminent  perfons  leave  this  tu- 
multuary life.  The  Poles  are  Hill  infefted  with  the  prefence, 
and  now  engaged  with  their  barbarous  enemies,  by  whom 
much  devaluation  and  many  enormities  are  perpetrated.  The 
Germans  now  fhake  off  the  ftupor  by  which  their  proceed- 
ings for  fome  time  have  been  palfied,  meet  with  fome  new 
misfortune,  and  fome  eminent  folar  perfon,  probably  he 
who  lately  fliled  himfelf  the  "  good  brother"  of  the  King  of 
Poland,  who  is  alfo  our  loving  coufin,  and  has  lately  cozen- 
ed and  cajoled  John  Bull,  fhall  be  involved  in  difficulties 
or  dilgrace,  which  will  not  be  generally  lamented.  From 
the  16th  until  the  end  of  the  month,  expect  cold  weather, 
with  various  expreffes  and  difpatches  from  foreign  parts, 
efpecially  about  the  27th,  when  a  trine  of  Saturn  and  Venus 
with. reception,  prefages  great  advances  towards  an  accom- 
modation of  fome  former  differences. — March  ift  to  the  7th, 
frequent  heavy  mowers,  fnow  or  fleet,  and  various  news  ar- 
rives for  commercial  mem  The  Britilh  power  is  now 
fomewhat  renovated,  and  if  ourcommanders  avail themfelves* 
of  opportunities  which  occur  about  this  time,  they  may 
cither  fight  or  negociate  with  the  French  to  advantage.  Six- 
»eenth,  cold  dark  weather,  with  fome  downfall.  The 
French  Forces  will  in  general  be  far  lefs  active  than  ours, 
till  the  midd'e  of  the  month.  We  do  not  expect  any  feveie 
froft  of  long  continuance  this  winter. 

ECLIPSE  OF  THE  MOON. 
Conformably  to  the  directions  of  the  mofl  fkilful  pro* 
ficients  in  the  fcience  of  Aftrology,  having  erected  a  fchemc 
for  the  middle  time  of  this  central  eclipfe  of  the  leffer  lu- 
minary, we  find  7  deg.  ©f  the  watery,  cruel,  aud  perfidious 
fign  Virgo  afcending  ;  Mars  lord  thereof,  is  located  on  the 
cufp  of  the  5th  houfe,  in  25  deg.  of  the  watery  lign  Pifces  be- 
held by  a  fextile  afpect  of  Jupiter  in  22  deg.  of  Capricornus, 
located  with  Venus  in  7  deg.  30  min.  of  the  famefign,  both 
111  the  3d  houfe  ;  21  deg.  of  the  regal  fiery  fign  Leo  is 
on  the  midheaven,  the  moon  is  in  14  deg.  50  min.  of 
Leo,  oppofmg  the  Sun  and  Mercury,  who  are  in  Mars  near 
the  cufp  of  the  4th  houfe;  Saturn  in  22  deg.  50  min.  of 
Taurus,  in  the  angle  of  the  7th,  and  is  beheld  by  a  trine 
afpect  of  Jupiter;  their  difpofitor  is  alfo  applying  to  a 
trine  of  him,  and  to  a  fex£le  of  the  furious  planet  Mars; 
both  the  Sun,  Moon,  and  Mercury  are  approaching  the  qua- 
drature of  Saturn  from  angles  and  fixed  figns. 

Oh  i  what  a  portendous  picture  do  the  heavens  here  pre- 
[Mit  to  us.  of  the  errors  and  perplexities  of  princes,  the  de- 
gradation of  lawyers,   the  diflrelfes  of  priefts,  the  mis- 
Mines  of  mariners,   the  difcord  and  conflagration,  the 
on  mct-ions  ajid  carnage  that  will  alarm?    agitate,  and 
"$4»lW~ft  inflame 


f  31  ) 

inflame  that  clafs  of  the  community  whom  Mr,  Burke 
(who  is  now  enjoying  a  confiderable  penfion)  has  arrogantly 
+  denominated  the  "fwiniJJi  ?nultitude !" 

The  baneful  influences  of  this  eclipfe,  appear  to  us  to  acl 
upon  the  inhabitants  of  London,  as  well  as  of  Paris;  and  to 
extend  with  more  or  lefs  effect  to  Vienna,  Liepfic,  Prague, 
Hamburgh,  Venice,  Cadiz,  Valentia,  Genoa,  Constantinople, 
and  Algiers  ;  Scotland,  Ireland,  Holland,  Ruflia,  Prussia, 
Poland,  Sweden,  Norway,  Denmark,  Silefia,  Weftphalia, 
Bohemia,  Brandenburg,  Bavaria,  Franconia,  Saxony,  Bra- 
bant, Italy,  Tartary,  Turkey,  fome  parts  of  North  America, 
the  ifland  of  Mauritius,  probably  fome  part  of  the  ter- 
ritories of  the  Eaft  India  Company,  weft  or  fouth-well  part 
of  England,  Barbadoes,  and  fome  of  the  Weft  India  Iflands. 

In  this  fcheme  of  the  heavens,  as  in  a  mirror,  we  per- 
ceive that  there  will  be  violent  tempefts  at  fea  ;  on  land 
fierce  debates  concerning  rights,  privileges,  and  religion  ; 
irreparable  delapidations  and  wafte  of  the  revenue  of  kings, 
princes,  nobles,  magiftrates,  and  the  gentry  of  thofe  regions, 
cities,  and  in  the  vicinity  of  many  of  thofe  we  have  recited. 

Mars  in  reception  with  Jupiter,  and  difpofmg  of  that 
planet,  who  is  pofited  m  the  fign  where  the  furious  patron 
of  battles  and  contention  has  his  exaltation,  inclines  us  to 
think,  that  before  the  prefent  difcordant  phrenzy  fubfides, 
we  mail  hear  much  of  the  church  militant,  or  of  thofe 
who  are  by  profeffion  the  minifters  of  the  god  of  love  and 
peace,  coming  forward  to  play  at  foldiers,  and  to  rank 
among  the  profeffors  of  military  warfare;  let  fuch,  if  fuch 
there  fhould  be,  remember  the  words  of  David  :  "  The  Lord 
will  abhor  the  bloody  and  deceitful  man."  And  his  fon  Solo- 
mon, who  was  wifer,  but  lefs  arrogant  and  lefs  prefumptu— 
our,  than  Pitt — "  Let  difcretion  preferve  thee  from  the  way  of 
"  evil  men ,  who  rejoice  todoevi/y  and  delight  in  the  frowardnefs 
<c  of  the  wicked ;  whofe  ways  are  crooked;  who  leave  the  paths  of 
<{  uprightnefs  to  zoalk  in  the  ways  of  darknefs.  Happy  is  the  man 
(i  whojindctli  Wifdom  ;  her  ways  are  ways  of  plea fantnefs.  and  all 
li  her  paths  peace. V  But  (i  There  is  no  peace  faith  the  Lord 
**  to  the  wicked."  Lo  !  therefore,  the  pope  and  his  priefta 
are  now  partaking  of  the  phials  of  wrath,  which  are  al- 
lotted to  the  man  of  fin  ;  and«s  we  predicted  in  our  laft,  we 
may  now  with  increafed  certairf.y  affirm  that  "  In  vain  (ball 
popifh  princes,  or  proteftant  papifts,  form  leagues  to  up- 
hold the  thrones  and  dominions  of  the  Romifh  hieiachv,'* 
Contemplating  the  pofition  of  the  heavens,  and  the  flation  o$ 
the  planets  at  the  time  of  this  celeftial  phenomenon,  we 
almoft  hear  the  funeral  knell  announcing  to  the  nations 
that  cry,  which,  'ere  long,  fhall  refound  throughout  atj  che

The  Moon  and  Saturn  are  approaching  each  other  by  a 
malific  afpect;  they  are  alfo  both  applying  to  eminent 
fixed  flars,  of  a  violent  nature;  the  former  is  about  to  ufurp 
the  place  of  the  fun,  while  that  luminary  is  oppolite  to  his 
own  fign,  or  houfe,  and  being  peregrine,  is  diverted  of  all 
his  effential  dignities:  in  fuch  a  condition,  the  Sun  defcribes 
a  potentate,  a&ing  diametrically  oppofite  to  his  own  interefl 
and  the  popular  inclination.  Mercury  under  the  Sun's 
beams,  is  oppofingthe  Moon;  that  wiley  protean  planet  very 
aptly  defcribes  a  lawyer,  refembling  the  "pertprim  prater  of  the 
northern  race,"  who  will  fall  into  difcredit,  fulfer  great  an* 
guifhof  mind;  be  liable  to  gouty  and  arthritic  pains,  yet 
will  think  himfelf  fortunate  if  the  organs  of  his  refpiration 
are  not  fufpended  by  an  extreme  degree  of  prefTure  about 
the  thorax. 

Di  feafes  of  the  eyes,  inflammatory  fore  throats,  varilousand 
burning  fevers,  pains  of  the  back,  palpitations  of  the  heart, 
and  rheumatic  diforders  will  be  generally  prevalent ;  and 
although  Venus  approaching  the  conjunction  of  Jupiter,  and 
both  the  fortunes  being  in  fextile  of  Mars  and  trine  of 
Saturn,  may  alleviate  fome  of  the  numerous  evils  menaced 
by  this  eclipfe,  yet  we  think  that  it  will  stagger  a  mo- 
narch and  a  kingdom.  The  Moon  is  here  applying  to 
the  Lion's  Heart,  like  lions  his  adverfaries  will  rufh  to  the 
fight,  while  the  chilling  rays  of  Saturn  will  blaft  his  honor, 
and  extinguifh  the  nobleft  energies  of  the  foul. 

Aftrologians  know  that  the  Sun  is  naturally  a  fignificator 
of  potentates,  or  of  perfons  of  the  higheft  rank,  but  here  that 
planet  being  lord  of  the  tenth  houfe,  the  horofcope  of  fo- 
vereigns,  inclines  us  to  give  the  preceding  judgment,  while 
others  may  be  more  inclined  to  take  the  opinion  given  by 
Bonatus,  Dap.  85.  Et  fifuerit  in ■  decimafgmfcat  tribulation  em

**  king  and  great  men,  and  it  alfo  fignifies  wars  and  cow-

OF  THE  SPRING  QUARTER, 
Which  commences  on  Friday,  March  2C,  2h.  53m.  P.  Mm 
This  quarter,  like  the  year,  feems  to  prefent  a  more  pa- 
cific countenance,  for  the  ftars  denote  in  their  language, 
a  lefs  perturbed  ftate  in  Mundane  affairs  than  may  be  ex- 
pected in  fome  other  parts  of  this  tragical  year.  The  com- 
mon people  are  now  in  good  fpirits,  and  the  weather  will, 
for  a  few  days,  be  warm  and  reviving  ;  but  the  negotiation 
for  a  general  peace  indicated  to  be  on  foot  by  the  fextile  of 
Jupiter  and  the  Sun,  will,  we  believe,  be  rendered  abortive 
by  the  quartile  of  Jupiter  and  Mars,  an  afpecl:,  that  we  think 
will  be  alfo  fatal  to  fome  traiterous  ftatefman.  The  Elector 
of  Bavaria  and  Brandenburgh,  the  King  of  Spain,  and  fome 
eminent  lawyers  and  churchmen  labour  under  flrange  diffi- 
culties and  difalrers,  of  whieh  the  Ruffian  Hyena  will  have 
her  fhare  !  Poifon,  fuicide,  various  fevers  or  fmall-pox 
will,  in  fome  places,  make  dreadful  havock  ;  not  a  few  will 
fuffer  death  by  hanging,  or  the  guillotine,  for  Mars  in  a  few 
days  enters  Taurus,  which  warns  the  neck,  and  proceeds 
fwiftly  in  his  mifchicvious  march  to  a  conjunction  of  the 
baneful  planet  Saturn.  Great  deflru&ion  mall  happen  to 
cattle,  efpecially  to  horfes  and  oxen  ;  not  a  few  of  both  men 
and  brutes  mall  endure  the  miferies  of  famine,  and  the  ca- 
lamities 


(  34  ) 

Iamities  of  war,  "which  will  be  fomented  by  nobles,  sn<! 
others  eminent  for  riches  and  authority.  Fortrcfles  mall  be 
befieged,  and  towns  facked  ;  and  during  the  courfe  of  the 
bear,  we  fhall  hear  of  prifons  and  gaols  being  fct  open,  and 
many  captives  and  prisoners  fhall  efcape. 

The  Romifli  outcafts  aud  foreign  vagrants  will  not  prac* 
lice  all  the  paflive  obedience  and  non-refiftance  enjoined  by 
the  flavifli  tenets  of  the  teachers  of  that  idolatrous  worlhip, 
which  many  of  our  grave  divines,  hypocritical  ftatefmcn, 
and  other  alarmifts  now  affccT:  to  lament  as  overthrown;  and 
to  blind  the  giddy  multitude,  they  farcically  dignify  it  by 
the  name  of  Re  l  i  g  i  o  n  !  wherefore  the  Lord  who  exhorted 
us  from  "entering  into  the  paths  of  theiuicked*"  "hath  Jtt 
darknefs  in  mr  patht"  "  and  caufeth  us  to  Jail  by  our  oven 
counfeL" 

We  view,  with  the  moll  poignant  regret,  the  (hare  which 
Great  Britain  has  had  in  the  prefent  war,  becaufc  it  is  evi- 
dent, that  by  the  revolution  in  France,  (many  horrible  cx- 
cefles  attending  that  convulfive  crifis,  we  deeply  deplore) 
is  producing  a  grand  revolution  in  morals ;  therefore  it  has 
been  in  vain  that  the  armies  of  the  allies  oppofed  themfclves 
to  men  who,  having  for  ages  groaned  under  the  rod  of  op- 
premon,  are  now  contending  for  the  palm  of  freedom,  are 
infulated  in  its  fpirit,  and  prodigal  of  life,  are  ruining  on 
to  fulfil  the  Divine  decrees,  for  overthrowing  the  "  fyna- 
gogues  of  Satan",  and  putting  an  end  to  the  reign  of  the 
41  Man  of  Sin".  And  although  in  the  important  revo- 
lution which  all  Europe  is  about  to  experience,  perceiving 
that  thrones  are  tottering,  and  dominions  are  nodding  to 
their  fall,  the  profpecl:  fills  us  with  aftonifhment  and  awe; 
yet  we  wait  humbly,  and  devoutly  adore,  knowing  that 
"  The  Lord  God  omnipotent  reigneth,  and  though  clouds  and 
darknefs  furround  his  feet,  juflice  and  judgment  are  the  habitations 
of  his  throne;  mercy  and  truth  [hall  go  before  his  face.'* 

WEATHER,  Sec. 
March  25,  tempefluous.  Unfavourable  to  the  Stadholder, 
to  the  Spaniard,  and  probably  fome  bloody  conflict,  in 
which  tbe  Poles  have  fome  concern.  April  1,  7,  14,  18, 
high  winds,  with  rain,  hail,  or  fnow.  26,  28,  30,  bri/k  gales 
of  wind  with  mowers.  OMay  2,3,  5,  hail  or  rain,  accompa-

We  c?nnot  now,  as  formerly,  record 

With  honeft  pride,  the  feats  of  Britain's  fword* 

For  that,  n«  more  the  terror  of  the  field, 

As  in  paft  years,  its  wonted  laurels  yield  ; 

•But  chiefs  renown'd  upon  the  main, 

Our  glory's  made  to  mine  again  : 

Old  Neptune  heard  our  thunder  roar 

In  tones  he  feldom  heard  before, 

And  Gallia's  fons  in  vain  regret 

Ships  funk,  and  captur'd  from  their  fleet. 
This  day  twelvemonth,  Jupiter  and  Venus  being  in  oppo- 
fition,  and  the  Moon  in  quartile  to  Mars,  from  cardinal 
figns,  at  8  o'clock  in  the  morn,  the  Britifh  fleet,  commanded 
by  Earl  Howe,  got  into  clofe  action  with  the  French  fleet  9 
Their  flags  aloft  fpread  ruflling  to  the  wind. 
Notice  to  give,  of  what  each  chief  defign'd; 
The  fanguineftreamers  fignal  gave  to  fve, 
And  all  the  heroes  feem'd  to  glow  with  ire  5 
Meanwhile,  thro'  ev'ry  region  of  the  air, 
Red  burning  balls  with  flaming  vengeance  glare; 
The  Ikies  were  darken'd  where  their  light'nings  flew, 
And  the  green  fea  was  dy'd  a  crimfon  hue. 
M  Who  can  contend  with  Fate  ?"  exclaim'd  the  foe, 
*{  Britons  !  we  ftrike — we  ftrike  to  your  illuftrious 
Howe!"

Deep  in  the  ocean  funk  to  endlefs  night,

The  fuperior  feamanfhip  and  gallantry  of  the  Britifh  tars

GREAT  BRITAIN. 


AGES  PRECEDING  THE  CONQUEST. 

Ave  Saxon  pence  were  a  [hilling ;  and  48  fallings  made  a  pound 
in  weight  and  denomination. 

CORN. — In  1043  a  horfe  load,  or  quarter,  of  wheat 
was  fold  for  the  high  price  of  60  pence,  or  twelv« 
Saxon  (hillings,  a  fourth  part  of  a  pound  of  filver. 

Catt  l  e.— -By  a  law  of  Ina,  King  of  We(Tex,  a  ewe  with 
her  lamb  till  fouueen  days  after  Eailer  was  valued  at  one 
(hilling  Saxon.  —  In  the  reign  of  King  Ethelred  (about  the 
year  t&oo)  a  horfe  was  valued  at  30  millings.  An  ox  at  30 
Saxon  pence,  of  which  there  were  five  to  a  (hilling. 
A  ilieep,  according  to  Mr.  Hume,  was  valued  at  five  Saxon 
pence,  of  which  the  fleece  was  worth  two.  This  he  attri- 
butes to  their  wearing  fcarcely  any  other  cloth  but  woollen. 

Manufactures. — Coarfe  woollen  cloth  was  at  this 
time  made  in  England.  But  the  manufacture  of  fine  cloth 
was  brought  from  Flanders  in  the  reign  of  Edward  III. 

Land  and  Agriculture. — Mr.  Hume  cites  a  paffagc 
from  Gale's  Hiilory  of  Ramfey  Abbey,  which  fays,  that  be- 
tween 900  and  1000,  Ednoth  bought  a  hyde  of  land  (about 
120  acres)  for  a  hundred  millings.  This  (hews  not  only 
the  fcarcity  of  money  but  the  fituation  of  the  country  with 
refpect  to  cultivation  and  produce.  And  we  fhall  the  more 
eafily  reconcile  the  fa£r.  with  our  ideas  of  the  value  of  lancl 
if  we  confider  that  it  is  at  this  time  fold  for  three  (hillings 
an  acre,  and  in  fome  inflances  for  two  in  the  new  American 
fettlements  :  where  the  means  of  improvement  are  greater, 
and  the  market  for  its  produce  more  certain. 

Manners  and  the  Arts. — Ignorance  of  what  are 
now  deemed  the  comforts  of  life  if  itrongly  exemplified  in 
a  paflage  of  Camden.  William  de  Ailefbury  held  certain 
lands  of  William  the  Conqueror,  upon  the  tenure  of  finding 
litter  for  the  King's  bed  chamber ;  and  alfo  fuceet  herbs  for 
the  fame. — This  ufage  was  continued  long  after  the  con- 
queft.  And  it  is  to  this  ancient,  Englifh  luxury  of  fwe^t 
herbs  with  clean  draw,  poflibly,  to  which  Shakefpeare  al- 
ludes, when,  in  the  perfon  of  Henry  IV,  he  fpeaks  of 
the  perfum'd  chambers  of  the  great.''

THE  TWELFTH  CENTFRY. 

37/ <  pound  /'y  denomination  continues  to  be  a  pound  of  filter ;  but 
infeead  of  being  divided  into  48  Jhillings  of  5  fence,  it  is  divided 
into  20  fhillings  of  12  pence. 

CORN. — In  1 1 25  a  quarter  of  wheat  was  fold  for  6s.— 
In  1 1 96  a  fema  or  quarter  of  wheat,  according  to  Flecthood, 
was  fold  for  13s.  4d.  And  fuch  was  the  fcarcity  of  the 
enluing  year  that  the  price  rofe  to  18s.  8d.  equal  in  weight 
to  56  fhillings  of  our  money.  And  the  "  value  of  it  in  ex- 
change" was  equal  to  five  times  that  fum;  as  56  fhillings  would 
then  buy  five  times  the  quantity  of  thenecelfaries  of  life. 

Cattle. — In  11 84  thirty-three  cows  and  two  bulls  cod 
SI-  7s. — Five  hundred  fheep  22I.  10s. — fixty-fix  oxen  j  81. 
3s. — fifteen  breeding  mares  2I.  I2i.  6d. — twenty-two  hogs 

ll.  2S. — eleven  heifers  2I.  14s.  ■  In  1198 

Hugh  de  Bofco,  Sheriff  of  Hants,  flocked  the  lands  of 
Mienes  with  twelve  oxen  at  three  mriiings  an  ox  ;  and  a 
hundred  fhecp  at  fom  pence. — N.  B.  the  age  is  not  men- 
tioned. 

Wine. — In  1199  King  John  ordered  that  a  tun  of  Poitou 
wine  mould  be  fold  for  no  more  than  ll. — A  tun  of  Anjou 
wine  for  il.  43.  And  that  no  French  wine  mould  be  iold 
for  move  than  il.  5s. 

Pensions.— Henry  II.  paid  penfions  to  his  fervants, 
ivornout  witaage,  of  one  penny  and  three  half-pence  per  day. 
And  Henry  III.  ordered  the  Sheriff  of  EfTex  to  pay  his  por- 
ter two  pence  a  day  till  the  King  mould  otherwife  provide 
for  him. 


THE  THIRTEENTH  CENTURY. 

The  pound  of  filver  continues,  as  before,  to  be  divided  into  20 
fhillings  ;  each  of  which  weighed  about  3  one-tenth  times  as  muck 
as  the  prefent. 

Corn  and  Agriculture.— In  1270  there  was  fo 
great  a  famine  in  England  that,  according  to  Fleetwood, 
wheat  was  fold  for  4I.  16s.  a  quarter.  And  in  1287  *° 
great  was  the  plenty  that  it  fold  for  is.  6d. — This  almoft  in- 
credible variation  in  the  %rice  is  afcribed  to  the  want  of  fkill 
and  induftry  in  the  farmers  of  this  age  :  to  which  we  may 
add  their  itraitened  incomes  ;  which  oblijged  them  to  fell 
the  produce  of  each  year  before  the  enfuing  harveft.  This 
evil  is  removed  by  the  profperous  circumftances  of  the 
Englifh  farmers  in  the  18th  century ;  which  enable  them  to 
referve  the  fuperfluity  of  one  year  to  fupply  the  deficiency 
of  another  ;  and  thus,  uniting  their  own  with  the  general 
good,  to  efTecl  the  purpofe  of  public  granaries  without  the 

expence 


(   39  ) 

cxpcnce  and  inconvenience  attending  them. — Couid  the  ad- 
vantages of  affluence  and  fkill  be  obtained  without  the  dif~ 
advantages  arifing  from  the  abolition  of  farms  of  moderate 
extent  and  an  unbounded  accumulation  of  land  in  the  hands 
of  a  few  perfons,  could  eftatcs  be  fo  appertioned  as  that  no 
farm  mould  be  fo  fmall  as  to  difable  the  occupier  from  cul- 
tivating his  land  to  advantage,  nor  fo  large  as  to  render  him 
independent  of  an  uniform  attention  to  its  cultivation  and 
improvement,  the  greateft  poflible  benefit  would  accrue  to 
the  community.*  i 1  The  average  price  of  wheat  this 

century  was  15s.  5d. 

Wine. — It  appears  from  Blount's  Ancient  Tenures  of 
Land  that  a  perfon  held  a  manor  of  Edward  I.  on  the  tenure 
of  annually  fupplying  him  with  two  veffels,  called  mues,  oi; 
zvim  made  of  pearmains.  This  enables  us  to  account  foe 
the  number  of  places,  in  different  parts  of  the  kingdom, 
called  vineyards,  without  fuppofing  that  grapes  were  pro- 
duced in  all  of  them. — In  King  Stephen's  houfhold  a  pro 
vilion  was  made  for  a  vine  drejfer  ;  which  renders  it  probable 
that  wine  was  produced  in  a  greater  or  lefs  quantity. 

Cattle. — In  1298  the  price  of  an  ox  at  Scarborough  was 
6s.  8d.  Of  a  cow  5s.  Of  a  heifer  as.  Of  a  flieep  is. — 
In  1299  the  price  of  various  articles  was  fettled  by  the 
Common  Council  of  London.—  A  capon  was  valued  at  2^d. 
A  goofe  at  ^d.  Two  pullets  i£d.  A  fwan  3s.  A  phea- 
fant  4d.    A  partridge  i|d. 

Commerce. — The  trade  of  England  had  been  carried  on 
by  the  Italian  and  Flemifh  merchants.  But  in  the  year  124S 
privileges  are  faid  to  have  been  granted  by  John  Duke  of 
Brabant  to  the  Englifli  merchants  who  exchanged  w7pol, 
lead,  tin,  &c.  for  fine  cloth  manufactured  in  the  Nether- 
lands.— The  progrefs  of  trade  mull:  neceflarily  have  been 
flow  in  a  country  where  intereit  was  at  50  per  cent.  And 
where  the  police  was  fo  defective  that  "  whole  villages 
were  plundered  by  bands  of  robbers." — In  1249  two  mer- 
chants of  Brabant  complained  to  Henry  III.  that  they  had 
been  fpoiled  of  all  their  goods  by  certain  robbers,  whom 
they  knew,  becaufe  they  faw  their  faces  every  day  in  hi:J 
court.  — In  1230  the  Mayor  of  Oxford  was  ordered  to  buy 
500  ells  of  ruffet  cloth,  at  about  iod.  per  ell,  for  the  poor. — 

Inland  Communication.' — The  inconvenience  ar- 
Tifing  from  the  want  of  it  appears  from  the  Chronicle  of 
Dunftable,  which  fays  that  wheat  was  fold  for  five  millings 
a  quarter  at  that  town,  when  it  was  fold  for  eight  millings 
at  other  places. 

Stipends. — In  1229  a  curate's  flipend  was  fettled  by  the 
Bilhop  of  Chefter  at  five  marks,  or  3I".  6s.  8d,  per  ann. 

D  %  This 


(   4*  ) 

This  appears  to  have  been  the  general  (Upend  for  fgreiaK 
centuries. 

Labour,  &c. — In  1225  the  hire  of  a  cart  and  two  horfes 

was  valued  at  lod.  a  day.    It  is  obfervable  that 

the  price  of  cloth,  corn,  and  other  articles  produced  by  la- 
bour and  art,  was  much  higher  in  proportion  at  this  time 
than  that  of  cattle,  poultry,  gsme,  &c.  which  were  pro- 
cured with  little  labour  and  attention. 


THE  FOURTEENTH  CENTURY. 

In  1345  the  pound  ofjilver  was  coined  in  to  22  Jhillirigs  emdG 
pence,  each  236  grains ;  about  2§  oj the prefent—in  1354  into 
~5  °J  21 3  grains  or  2%  of  our  own. 

CORN.*-During  the  year  1317  wheat  was  fold  at  the 
various  prices  of  2I.  4s.  14s.  2I.  13s.  4I.  and  6s.  8d  — 
In  1336  it  fold  for  2s.  a  quarter.-~The  average  price  of 
nineteen  years  was  18s. --Equal  in  weight  to  i\.  14s.  of  our- 

money. 

Land.— In  1327  a  capital  meffuage  and  feventy  acres  of 
and  at  Tunbridge  were  valued  at  il.  15s.  per  annum. — 
The  fame  year,  according  to  Fleetwood,  eighty  acres  of 
arable  were  valued  at  il, — meadow  land  at4d.  per  acre  and 

pafture  at  id. 

Cattle.— In  1314  the  market  price  of  various  articles 
throughout  the  kingdom  was  fettled  by  the  legiflatine. — 
A  flailed,  or  corn-fed  ox  il.  4s. — a  grafs-fed  ox  16s. — an 
ordinary  cow  ics.— a  fat  fheep  unfhorn  is.  8d.  —  a  fat  fheep 
Ihorn  is.  2d.— Thefe  prices,  though  high  in  proportion 
to  the  rent  of  land  were  fo  much  below  the  current  price  that 
the  confequence  of  the  interference  was  the  defertion  of  the 
markets,  which  occafioned  the  repeal  of  the  aft. 

Wool. — Edward  III.  in  order  to  keep  up  the  value  of 
wool,  got  the  prices  for  the  following  counties  fettled  by 
Parliament.  That  of  Shropfhire  14  marks,  9I.  6s.  Sd.  per 
fack  of  3641b. — Oxford  and  Stafford  13  marks — Leicefter, 
Gloucefler,  and  Herefordfhire  12.— The  loweft  was  Corn- 
wall, which  was  valued  at  only  4.— Mr.  Hume  fays  that 
the  medium  price  was  5I.  a  fack,  and  that  near  30,ooofacks 
were  exported  yearly.  % 

Wages. — In  1351  workmen  were  to  take  their  wages 
in  wheat  at  the  rate  of  iod.  a  bufhel.  For  mowing,  at  ^d 
an  acre.  For  reaping,  2d.  the  fiiit  week  in  Auguft,  and  3d. 
a  day  afterwards :  without  diet.  For  threfhing  a  quarter  of 
wheat  2|d. — In  1351  a  matter  carpenter  had  3d.  and  a 
journeyman  2d.— In  1360  it  was  raifedto  4d.  and  3d. 


(   4'  ) 

Pay  of  the  Army.  —  When  an  invafion  was  appre- 
hended foldiers  were  hired  by  Edward  III.  at  thefe  rates. 
A  man  at  arms  2S.    An  armed  man  6d.     An  archer  ^d. 

Manners,  &c. — The  bill  of  fare  for  an  entertainment, 
given  by  Ralph  de  Born  on  his  inilallation  to  the  priory  of 
Saint  Auguftine's  in  Canterbury,  affords  a  itriking  proof  oi 
the  ftyle  of  hofpitality  and  fumptuoufnefs  which  prevail :d 
in  tins  age.  Thirty  oxen,  200  fheep,  100  hogs,  53  quarters 
of  wheat,  58  quarters  of  malt,  11  tuns  of  wine,  and  a  pro- 
portional quantity  of  poultry,  fifh  and  game,  made  the 
whole  of  3000  dimes  which  ferved  as  a  repall  for  600: * 
guelts. — Tiie  manner  of  living  in  this  age  and  the  diftribu- 
tion  of  landed  property  are  ftrongly  exemplified  in  the  ac- 
count given  of  the  ravages  committed  upon  the  eftatcs  oi 
the  elder  Spenfer.  His  adverfaries  laid  wafte  63  manors  ; 
and  among  other  articles  were  600  bacons;  80  carcafes  oi 
beef;  and  6o»  muttons.  As  the  ravages  happened  in  tl  p 
month  of  May,  thefe  may  be  fuppofed  to  be  the  remain* 
only  of  his  winter  provifion.  Mr.  Hume  deduces  from 
this  fact  "  the  wretched  Hate  of  ancient  hufbandry  whicii 
could  not  provide  fubfiftence  for  the  cattle  during  the  win- 
ter.*' We  may  likewife  deduce  from  the  ftate  of  hufbandi  v 
the  comparatively  fmall  degree  of  population.  The  greateir 
part  of  the  land  was  common  pafture;  three  acres  of  which  is 
not  equal  in  produce  to  one  of  arable  in  the  improved 
Jtate. 


THE  FIFTEENTH  CENTURY. 
In  1421  the  pound  of  Jilvcr  was  coined  into  30  fhillings  of  i~6 
grains  ;  about  2  one-tenth  of  ours — In  1422  into  3  7  [hidings  and 
6  pence  of  142 grains  ;  about  1  two-thirds  of  ours — in  i^zG 
into  30  [hillings  of  176  grains — and  in  146  J  again  into  37 
[killings  and 6  pence  of  142 grains. 

CORN. — The  higheft  price  of  wheat  during  this  cen-

Landed  Property  and  Commerce.  —  The  great 
change  which  has  taken  place  in  the  circumftances  of  the 
JKnglifh  nation  during  the  lafl:  three  centuries  originated  in 
the  reign  of  Henry  VII.  That  wife  monarch,  fenftble  of  the 
clanger  which  muft  ever  attend  the  vaft  property  and  in- 
fluence of  the  barons,  and  the  difficulty  of  reftraining  them 
by  force,  determined  to  weaken  them  by  policy.  With 
that  view  he  caufed  an  aft  to  be  palled  to  enable  them  to 
alienate  their  eftat*s  ;  and  thus  provided  them  with  a  means 
of  gradually  diminiming  their  own  greatnefs.  And  though 
fome  of  his  acls  prove  that  he  was  unacquainted  with  the 
true  principles  of  trade,  yet  his  protection  and  encourage- 
ment contributed  to  its  advancement  ;  and  concurred  with 
the  difcovery  of  the  Indies  to  enrich  the  mercantile  world, 
and  create  purchafeis  for  the  mouldering  eftates  of  thf 
barons. 


THE  SIXTEENTH  CENTURY. 

In  1509  the  pound  of  Jilver  was  coined  into  45  [hillings  of  11 S 
grains  ;  or  near  \\of  ours — in  1  543  m/048  of  100, 

Cor  n  and  Cattle. — Thehighcft  price  of  wheat  during 
this  century  was  2I.  16s.  8d.  The  loweft  4s.  Average  of 
21  years  il  11s.  1  id. —A  good  fheep  was  fold  in  1558  for 

iod. 

Wages.— A  labourer  in  1557  was  paid  for  threfhing  a 
quarter  of  wheat,  which  is  two  ordinary  days  work,  is.  id. 

Land  and  Husbandry.- — The  low  ftate  of  tillage  ap* 
pears  in  an  a£f.  palled  in  this  century  to  check  the  prevailing 
inclination  to  convert  arable  land  into  paflure,  by  pro- 
hibiting farmers  from  keeping  more  than  2000  fheep  in 
one  flock.  The  preamble  fays  that  theie  were  fome  of 
24,000. — And  the  bad  ftate  of  hufbandry  in  general  appears 
from  the  low-value  of  the  land  itfelf  compared  with  that  of 
its  produce.  In  1544  an  equal  quantity  of  meadow  and 
pafture  land  in  Camt£ idgefriire  was  let  for  is,  an  acre.b 
Suppofmg  then  that  common  arable  was  equally  valuable, 
and  that  it  was  fold  for  16  years  purchafe,  which  we  have 
reafon  to  think  a  very  high  price  in  this  age,  a  fack  of  wheat 
at  the  medium  price  (as  above)  would  buy  the  fee  of  an 
acre  of  land  :  whereas  in  the  18th  century  2ofacks  at  a  me- 
dium price  will  not  do  it.  And  the  medium  produce  of 
?,n  acre  of  arable  in  the  iSth  century  fold  at  the  man  price  cf 


(   43  ) 

*the'i6th  would  have  purchafed  the  fee  of  at  lead  4  acres, 
And  even  in  meadow  and  pafture,  where  little  labour,  {kill, 
or  expence  is  required,  the  price  of  the  product  was  more 
than  twice  as  great,  in  proportion  to  the  rent,  in  the  16th 
as  in  the  18th  century.  The  price  of  meat  was  from  10  to 
i8d.  a  fcore.  The  value  of  a  fcore  of  meat  therefore,  at  an 
average,  was  more  than  equal  to  the  rent  of  an  acre  of  land 
in  the  former  century,  whereas  that  of  two  fcore  is  not  equal 
to  it  in  the  latter. 

Hops  and  Vegetables.— The  ufe  and  cultivation  of 
hops  are  faid  to  have  been  introduced  the  beginning  of  this 
century.  Sallads  and  eatable  roots  were  planted  here  about 
this  time. 

Liquors. — In  1504  red  wine  was  fold  at  4I.  a  tun. 
Claret  at  3I.  13s.  4d.  White  wine  3I.  6s.  8d.  Ale  of  Lon- 
don il.  10s.  of  Canterbury  ll.  5s. 

Arts,  Manners,  &c. — Hume  in  his  Reflections  on  the 
Reign  of  Henry  II.  fays  "  that  as  the  King  and  all  the  ba- 
rons were  of  French  extraction,  the  manners  of  that  people 
gained  an  afcendant  and  were  regarded  as  models  of  imi- 
tation." But  the  Englifh  nation  do  not  appear,  at  thU 
period,  to  have  derived  any  effential  improvement  or  taite 
for  the  elegances  of  life  from  an  imitation  of  their  more 
polifhed  neighbours.  Holinlhed,  who  lived  in  Queen 
Elizabeth's  time,  fays  that  in  the  preceeding  age  "  there 
fcarcely  was  a  chimney  to  the  houfes,  even  in  confiderable 
towns  :  the  fire  was  kindled  by  the  wall,  and  the  fmoak 
fought  its  way  out  at  the  roof,  or  door  or  windows.  The 
houfes  were  nothing  but  wattling  plaiflered  over  with  clay. 
The  people  flept  on  llraw  pallets,  and  had  a  good  round  log 
tinder  their  head,  for  a  pillow;  and  almoft  all  the  furniture 
and  uteniils  were  of  wood."  ■  ■  In  great  cities,  and 
countries  where  there  is  an  eafy  communication,  the  arts  are 
promoted  by  emulation  in  things  which  are  called  luxuries. 
But  in  a  country  fo  thinly  inhabited  as  England  muft  now 
have  been,  defolated  by  civil  war  and  rapine,  and  in  which 
the  roads  were  fcarcely  paffable,  there  could  have  been  but 
little  intercourfe,  or  rivalfhipin  domeftic  accummodations. 
We  are  not  therefore  to  be  furprifed  that  the  nation  had 
made  fo  fmall  a  progrefs  in  the  arts,  and  in  the  courfe  of 
four  centuries  had  advanced  no  further  on  the  fcale  of  re- 
finement than  from  litter  to  a  Jffavo  pallet  and  a  round  log% 


THE  SEVENTEENTH  CENTURY. 
In  the  year  1603  the  pound  of  frfver  was  coined  into  62  Jliillivgst 
with  the  ufual  alloy  of  18  grains  ;  at  this  number  it  remains. 
CORN  and  Husbandry. — The  higheft  price  of  a  quar- 
ter of  wheat  pf  rune  frulhels  at  Windfgx  market  during  the 


{   44  ) 

firfr.  ten  years  of  this  century  was  al.  16s.  8d  — the  loweft 
was  ih  qs. — the  average  il.  17s.  lod. — Of  the  fecond  ten  it 
was  2I.  8s.  8d, — il.  10s.  4d. — al.  is.  id. — Of  the  third  ten 
it  was  al.  18s.  8d. — il.  8s. — 2I.  is.  id. — Of  the  fourth  ten 
it  was  31.8s.-  -2I.4S.  8d. — 2I.  14s.  9d. — And  of  fix  yeara 
between  1640  and  1650a  \vas4l.  5s. — 2I.  8s.  and  3I.  6s.  fed. 
By  aproclamationof  James  I.  eftabliming  public  magazines, 
the  commiffioncrs  were  empowered  to  purchafe  corn  for 
them,  whenever  wheat  was  below  il.  12s.  a  quarter,  and 
bailey  16s. a  Thefe  prices,  at  a  period  when  money  was 
fcarce  and  the  rent  of  land  low,  were  comparatively  very 
great.  And  the  faft  tends  to  prove  that  little  or  no  pro- 
grefs  had  at  this  time  been  made  in  huibandry. 

Wool. — Wool  was  fold  for  il.  13s.  a  tod  of  281b* 
during  the  greateft  par£  of  the  reign  of  James  I.»  And  the 
high  price  of  the  material,  with  the  high  intercft  of  money, 
wrhich  was  10  per  cent,  and  the  neceftity  of  fending  the 
cloth  to  Flanders  to  be  dyed,  muft  have  rendered  this  ar- 
ticle alfo  dear.
