Description

Goad (John) Astro-Meteorologica, or Aphorisms and Discourses of the Bodies Celestial...,first edition, 2P1 repaired and restored with part in facsimile, occasional light damp-staining to margins, ink ownership inscription to endpaper, bookplate to pastedown, contemporary speckled calf, rebacked, preserving original backstrip, modern label to spine, corners bumped, [Horblit 468; Houzeau & Lancaster 5327; Wing G8897], 4to, for J.Rawlins, 1686.

***A curious work on astrological weather prediction. 'Goad's efforts comprised a consciously Baconian programme to reform astrology by using experimental natural philosophy to save its rational and useful core, and discard its superstitious accretions. He foresaw great potential gains, not only in terms of weather prediction but indirectly for agriculture, medicine, and so on... Goad's working assumption was that the planets (each with a specific and unique nature) influenced the earth's atmosphere.' ODNB..
