Judaicus. The characters now under dis

cussion are partly allegorical and partly historical." Joshua is a warrior, and the Sun: the twelve patriarchs are men, and constellations; so Julius Cæsar is an Astronomer, and the first sign of the Zodiac.

Cæsar we read, conquered the Gauls, the Britons, the Germans, the Spaniards, the Romans, the Egyptians, and the people of Pontus. These names will include, if I mistake not, nearly all his conquests. The subject is too extensive to allow me to enter into the detail. I shall briefly prove what the benevolent reader will rejoice to hear, that these people were not conquered and murdered by Cæsar: his invasion was of a much less appalling nature, being confined to the peaceable alteration of the almanacs of the poor ignorant Tsabaists.

Gaul, or Gallia. The word is derived from, the revolving sphere, or heavens, and Ai, which in the old Ammonian language always signified a district; hence it was added to the names of places; hence too, as Bryant observes, (vol. i. p. 90.) so many places are erroneously supposed to have a plural termination, as Athenai, Patrai, Amyclai. Sometimes, as in the present instance, it is made short, as in Æthiopia, Oropia, &c. &c. The word Gallia therefore, signifies the district where the Heavens were worshipped. Much opposition, as is typically related in the commentaries imputed to Cæsar, was made to the introduction of the reformed Calendar; but in vain. Knowledge then, as at present, was more powerful than Tradition, Ignorance, and Fable.

From Gaul Cæsar proceeded to Britain. Few words have given so much trouble to Etymologists as that of Britain. I think

the difficulty has arisen solely from their ignorance of the universality of Tsabaism. It may be thus derived. Albion, Ai, the Ammonian word for land, prefixed, as in Ægypt (Ai-gupt); instead of postfixed, as in all other cases. Hence Ai, as the land of the moon, where they worshipped the moon. The word signifies white, from the silvery appearance of the moon. Hence the absurd, though popular notion of the white cliffs.

"

Britain from a tree, (vide infra,) and rain, the solar fountain. One signifying that its inhabitants worshipped the stars, the other, that they worshipped the sun, Both words were united, to shew they pro

fessed the Tsabaism of the surrounding

nations.

Cæsar could not make these people reform their Calendars : their inflexible obstinacy is commemorated in the story of his defeat.

This defeat was related, in an allegorical tale of a spring tide. These tides are caused by the moon. Hence we may

arrive at the real history. Through the influence of those heads of the people who were peculiarly attached to the worship of the moon, the Reformer was rendered unable to introduce his new Almanac.

This part of my discovery is singularly confirmed by the experience of the last

hundred years. Our Calendar, from the hereditary aversion to change, so characteristic of our countrymen, has not been reformed till within this period.

The Germans were the next objects of our Legislator's attention. Their name is derived from either to meditate upon, or from

to dwell in any place for a short time, as a wanderer or stranger; and, the epithet given among the Eastern nations to the material heavens, as the dispensers of blessings; the same word, as the Monah of the Arabians, and I have no doubt the origin of Mona, the antient name of Anglesey. The Germans were accustomed to wander from one part of their country to another, to observe with more accuracy the appearances of the heavens; thus we read of the Helvetii and others leaving their homes;
