Printed Document, "Boughton's Monthly Planet Reader and Astrological Journal." Four pages, 5 5/8" x 9". Philadelphia. January 1, 1861. Vol. 2. No 1. This issue provides an astrological examination of the "Declaration of Independence of South Carolina, December 20th, 1860, 1h. 15m. P.M." and "The Fate of the Nation for the Winter Quarter of 1861." In this latter article, the author writes that astrological indicators are " … evil significations, and they foreshadow much distress, trouble and turmoil for the United States, if not civil war. The government is a very unsettled condition, and the President and those in office are at their wit's end, and the public shows marked disapprobation at their wavering and delay of action with regard to the Southern States. Traces of previous inclusion in a bound volume. Some light toning. Pin holes at left edge from previous binding. Overall Very Fine.
