As a proof of the foregoing rules being founded on truth, a few instances may be noticed. - Thus the brave and lamented Nelson, was born with the violent planet Mars, nearly on the . cusp of his " House of life", in the sign Scorpio, a violent sign; Mars being nearly in sesquiquadrate to Herschel in Pisces, each in watery signs. The Sun, Hyleg in Libra, in sesquiquadrate to Saturn, from a humane sign, and Mars in mundane quartile to Saturn. As the time of his birth is undisputed, nothing could more powerfully evince the truth of the foregoing rules than his illustrious Horoscope.
The next instance which may be brought forward of violent, directions producing an untimely end, is in the nativity of Mrs. Marr, and her ill-starred infant child, who was murdered at Ratcliffe Highway a few years ago. In the mother's Horoscope, Mars and Herschel were angular, in conjunction in the sign Cancer; the Moon being hyleg, was afflicted by a precise, sesquiquadrate aspect of Saturn, and the Sun in the same ma-. lignant configuration to Mars and Herschel! and in the infant's Horoscope, both Saturn and Mars were in conjunction in the House of Death, afflicting the principal angles and also the hyleg! The time of the above births was correctly taken, and their Horoscopes have been already before the public, in a periodical publication, from whence we take them. The last instance we shall bring forward, before the subject is closed, is that of the late emperor Napoleon, who being born while the luminaries were befriended by the powerful beams of the fortunate planets, throughout life escaped free from violence of every description, although, according'to his historian, he was frequently in battle amidst the thunders of war, when not only was death dealt around him on every side, but so imminent was his personal danger, that the cannon balls frequently tore up the ground under his horse's feet! Yet Jupiter, his kindly planet, preserved him even there, amidst a host of dangers, and although a hopeless and forlorn exile, he was fated to die a natural death, free from any violence whatever.
