John Goad's scarce late seventeenth-century meteorological and astrological work on weather prediction and celestial bodies, previously owned by Hugh Cecil Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale. A fascinating and curious late seventeenth century meteorological and astrological work on weather prediction and celestial bodies, observed using experimental natural philosophy. Written by John Goad, an Oxford fellow and head-master of Merchant Taylors' School in London.This interesting work was based on the premise that each of the planets, using their unique and specific makeup and nature, greatly influenced the earth's atmosphere.
