These accounts differ vastly, and I fear that we must confess that we do not know the age of the world.
To proceed with the Epochas we find these very numerous but
it will not be necessary to mention them all.
The Era of Seleucides, or the Syro-Macedonian Epocha,
was that fixed at the time that Seleucus Nicanor, one of the
generals of Alexander the Great, established himself in
Syria.
This was twelve years after the great conqueror
died, and three hundred and twelve years before Christ
and is the Epocha dated from in the Book of Maccabees and
by Josephus. The Jews were compelled to adopt this era,
being then subjects of the kings of Syria and they continued to use it for 1,800 years, until the fifteenth century,
when they adopted that which they now use, " the era of
the creation of the world." Some of them pretend that
they have always used the latter era but this is an error,

a bill was brought into the House of Lords to amend the
Calendar, it had too much of the reform spirit in it to
render it necessary to say that it died a natural death.
In fact, the " New Style," as it was termed, was not intro"duced into England until the year 1752 in which year
an act passed, that " the natural day next immediately
following September 2, 1752, shall be called and reckoned
as the fourteenth day of September, omitting the eleven intermediate nominal days of the common Calendar."

As regards the commencement of the year, I may here
add that in England, so late as the thirteenth century, the
year was reckoned from Christmas-day but that, in the
twelfth century, the Anglican Church began the year on
March 25th, which was soon after adopted by civilians. We

In various countries of Europe, the year, until after the
introduction of the "New Style," began at Easter, or Ladyday, or August 12th, or Christmas-day, or January 1st and

Before we make any remark on this account, we will examine briefly the mode of calculating, which was followed
by the ancient Chaldseans. They made use of three periods,
viz., the Sosos of 60 days, the Neiros of 600 days, and the
Saros of 3,600 days. The two former being multiplied into
each other give just ten times the latter

all animals had originally been inhabitants of the waters.
It is remarkable that the Hebrew names for Adam and Eve
were Isch and Ischa ; and these, in the language of Eri,
mean a male and female fish. That the Hebrew language
is a dialect of the Scythian, of which also the language of
Eri was a dialect, has been satisfactorily proved. Lastly,
we learn from Herodotus that the Persians, " from his own
knowledge, had neither statues, temples, nor altars; but
offered on the tops of the highest mountains sacrifices to
Jove (by which they meant the deity of the air) that they
adored the sun, moon, earth, fire, water, and the winds
that they gave the preference to teepoil, whereon they laid
their offerings
that they ate sparingly of flesh, but drank
profusely." When we consider them as a remnant of the
ancient Scythians, like as were the Gael Sciot Ib-eir the

The reader will here observe that each planet has one
day of the week appljed to it by the Buddhists, and that
they are just the same days as among the ancient oriental nations, the Greeks, the Eomans, the Saxons, and the modern
Europeans. Hence it is clear that they all had one and the
same origin, which we think may easily be shown to have been
Egyptian. The Buddhist term for the Sun, Iru, Iiru, or Hiru,
is evidently taken from Orus, or Horus, the Egyptian name
for Apollo (the Sun), according to Herodotus.
It will be
seen that the name of Buddha is formed from Budhaha, or
Budahu, the name of Mercury. We think, then, that this
may have arisen from a dim remembrance of the great
name of the Hermes Trismegistus, or Mercurius Trismegistus, i.e., ter maximus, thrice great, by reason of his virtues and great learning. He lived about the time of Moses,
and by some has been thought to be the same. Hermes
was the Greek name of Mercury but the Great Hermes
was Thoth, an Egyptian. He first divided the day into

ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES.
" The two main principles on which the religion of Egypt
was based, appear to be the existence of an Omnipotent
Being, whose various attributes being deified, formed a
series of divinities, each worshipped under its own peculiar
form, and supposed to possess its particular office and
the deification of the Sun and Moon, from which it might
appear that a sort of Sabsean worship had once formed part
of the Egyptian creed."
Astrology, therefore, is not a recent invention.

Every planet has two signs for his houses, except .Sol
and Luna they but one each, i? has V3 and ? and U
has f and ^
$ has T and
$ has tf and =a= 2 has EE
and ng. One of these houses is called diurnal, noted in
the second column by the letter D the other is nocturnal,
noted by the letter N. The planets have their exaltations,
as the third column points out thus O in 19 T
D in

are divided into four triplicities.

So that, in the first place, when any question is propounded, the sign ascending and his lord are always given

then consider the matter propounded, and see to which of
the twelve houses it does properly belong. When you
have found the house, consider the sign and lord of that
sign, how, and in what sign and what part of Heaven he is
placed, how dignified, what aspect he has to the lord of the
ascendant, who impedites your significator, who is a friend
unto him, viz., what planet it is, and what house he is lord

have seldom seen anything brought to perfection by this
way of opposition, but the querent had been better if the

wrangling and disputing, each party repining at his evil
choice, laying the blame upon their covetous parents, as

about portion or moneys, the querent did, it is true, recover his money or portion promised, but it cost him more
to procure it in suit of law than the debt was worth
