Excerpt from The Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal, Scientific and Railway Gazette, 1846, Vol. 9

Between clocks and watches, lighted roads, and public announcements, we are now so well provided with information, that an almanac is not a matter of the first necessity to most persons. It was otherwise in the fifteenth cen tury; and if we consider how much comfort must have depended upon being able to arrange business with reference to the numerous holidays and the moonlight, we shall see that the mere list of saints' days and moons must have been a matter of consequence.

The topic of astrology is naturally touched upon as pertinent to the subject in hand.
