Presentation . . In The Encyclopedia we read: The unchangeable, harmonious course of the heavenly bodies, the profound impression made on the soul of man by the power of such heavenly phenomena as eclipses, the feeling of dependence on the sun, the giver of daylight — all these probably suggested, in the early ages of the human race, the guestion whether the fate of man was not dependent on these majestic manifestations of Divine power .... According to the belief of the early civilized races of the East, the stars were the source and at the same time the heralds of everything that happened .... This was the case in Mesopotamia and Egypt .... The most ancient dwellers on the Euphrates were believers in judicial astrology which was closely interwoven with their worship of the stars. The same is true of their successors, the Babylonians and Assyrians, who were the chief exponents of astrology in antiguity .... The Egyptians developed astrology to a condition from which it varies but little today. The following excerpt is of interest concerning the spread of astrology into the West: The lower the Romans sank in religion and morals the more as- trology became entwined with all action and belief .... As Christianity spread, the astrologers lost their influence and reputation and generally sank to the position of mere guacks. With astrology as a science of divination and all of its conseguent fatalistic implications, this book has no concern. The use of zodiacal signs in this book is in no sense to be taken as implying or affirming a belief in judicial astrology. The 1941 MOUND reguired a theme to express with some continuity the pas- sage of time. The conventional signs of astrology were found to meet that need, and to possess, also, an easy adaptability to other features of this annual. These signs, then, are here used merely as a decorative theme that fits in well with the chronological order of this book and with the plan in which it was con- ceived and developed. — Robert Soles.
