ref. 3728502New York 1837. Small octavo. 1 engraved title 2 91 1 1 10pp. Album with manuscript additions and two hand-drawn star charts and 13 pen and ink outline portraits. Quarter green cloth with original pale yellow silk-patterned paper covered boards; dark blue endpapers; all edges gilt. Album with engraved title leaf with vignette illustration. Album re-backed with green cloth; new cloth reinforced hinges; rubbing to edges of boards; scattered foxing; very good. Unusual handwritten American astrological album dated 1837 containing detailed horoscope readings hand-drawn star charts predictive portrait drawings dream interpretations and lottery number advice. The manuscript records two full horoscope readings: an extensive analysis of Robert H. Gould not yet twenty-one and a separate “Lady’s Horoscope” for a woman apparently born in 1810. Each section is accompanied by a hand-drawn astrological chart mapping the celestial signs governing the subject’s birth with the individuals consistently described as “natives.” Gould’s horoscope is notably elaborate forecasting marriage career prospects travel to the southern United States and Mexico “In 7 years you will be in the South you will be Rich in Mexico and in the Southern States” longevity and specific advice on favorable days of action. It also provides recommended lottery numbers and predictions concerning children prosperity and personal relationships. The album includes pen-and-ink portraits depicting Gould at age twenty-one figures said to influence his future and a child identified as one of his sons. The lady’s horoscope offers comparable predictions including marriage faithfulness personal fortune bodily injury and death and is illustrated with drawings of her future husband or sincere friend. Written with confident authority the compiler explicitly distinguishes his interpretations from contemporary printed dream books suggesting familiarity with popular astrological and oneiric literature of the period. An exceptionally rare survival documenting antebellum astrology and popular belief in the United States. Note. 1. Album New York: Published by Solomon King 1830 unrecorded in OCLC. zxc unknown
