THE
INTERPRETATION
OF
DREAMS AND MOLES.

INTRODUCTION.

Dreams, though some, very ignorant in such rare mysteries, have slighted them, are, by the Sages and Wise Men of all ages, considered very significant; and that the soul, when the body reposes, being disencumbered from gross and weighty cares for the flesh, by this unknown mysterious way confabulates or converses with Spirits of Angels, who bring to its knowledge future events, very strange and wonderful; as in scripture we find it in Pharaoh’s, Nebuchadnezzar’s, and other dreams, that exactly came to pass, according to their interpretations. But not to prolong the matter, I proceed, by the rules of art, to give the interpretation of Dreams.

A
TREATISE ON MOLES,
AND THEIR PROGNOSTICATION.

A Mole on the forehead of a man or woman, denotes they shall grow rich, and obtain great possessions, being beloved by their friends and neighbours.

A Mole appearing on the upper side of the right temple, in either sex, denotes another on the extremity of the belly; signifying to a man a steady fortune, and a continuation of riches; and to a woman, a happy marriage, and a peaceful life.

A man or woman having a Mole near the eye-brow on the right temple, denotes another on the right loin, signifying the party will gain much esteem, favour, love and advantage, and considerable riches, by legacies, dowries, and reversions.

A Mole on the throat, on the left side of the wind-pipe, denotes another on the right side of the hip, and signifies that the person, if a man, will suffer much by falls and bruises; but if a woman, it prognosticates danger by water or lightning.

A Mole on the right side of the face, behind the eye, denotes another on the right side of the buttock or haunch; signifying much honour and preferment to befall a man; and to a woman, much praise for her virtue, and a continuation of prosperity.

A Mole appearing on the right side of the temple, in the lower part, inclining somewhat towards the neck, denotes another on the right ribs; shews a man to be of natural promptness, and industrious; and thereby obtaining great riches: to a woman it promises good fortune, long life, modesty, and chastity.

A Mole on the left side of the face, towards the upper part of the corner of the eye, denotes another under the left loin or thigh; signifies, to either sex, peril in travel, and dangerous diseases, with great trouble, discontent, and sometimes a violent and very sudden death.

A Mole on the left side of the temple, near the eye-lid, in a man or woman, denotes another on the left side of the buttock; and betokens a rustic, harsh, and sordid temper, and that the party shall be held in contempt by their acquaintances.

A Mole appearing on the left side of the face, near the corner of the eye, denotes another on the left buttock, signifying much sickness and trouble, many thwartings and unexpected crosses and disappointments.

A Mole on the left cheek, inclining towards the lower part of the ear, denotes another on the left thigh; and signifies, to a man, sorrow and anguish, crosses by children, and losses by goods or estate; and threatening woman with great trouble, and danger of death in child bed.

A Mole on the upper part of the right ear, denotes another on the right side of the belly; signifying to a man, he will commit such crimes as will cause him to fall into the hands of Justice, and endanger his life; and denotes a woman to be false, cruel, and of a very inconstant disposition.

A Mole on the lower part of the tip of the ear, denotes another on the right side; and predicts a man or woman liable to hurts and bruises by falls or blows, with many other casualties, which may very much endanger their lives and property.

A Mole on the outside of the upper parts of the left ear of a man or woman, denotes another on the left side of the belly; which threatens the former with great misfortunes, and the latter with infamy and disgrace, though very undeserved.

A Mole on the chin of a woman denotes her to be of a hasty, crabbed, ill-natured disposition; but on a man it denotes mildness.

A Mole on the middle of the left ear, shews the like is to be found on the lower part of the left side; denoting a man to be of an evil nature, cruel and inhuman; and to a woman it portends great trouble and short life.

A Mole on the lower part of the left ear shews the like on the lower part of the left side; denoting a man to fall into great trouble by means of women, by quarrelling and fighting on their behalf; and betokens a woman to be of a mischievous disposition, one who should be detested, threatening her with the commission of murder, by poison or otherwise.

A Mole on the lower part of the eye-lid, between the hollow of the eye and the beginning of the nose, in either sex, shews another on the right side of the privy-part, denoting a man much beloved and admired by the women, and fortunate in marriage; and a woman to be ingenuous, chaste, and faithful.

A Mole under the hollow of the right eye, by the inward part of the nose, denotes another on the middle of the body, above the members, signifying a man to be hasty, proud, and furious; and a woman to be self-conceited, vain-glorious, and of a very weak and shallow understanding, though a great pretender to knowledge in every respect.

ADVICE
TO ALL
Bachelors, Maids, Widowers, and Widows.

There are certain Rules which must be observed in Courtship: And first, to maids who have not possessed their first blushes, your first addresses must be with gentleness and modesty, lest you fright them with an opinion that you are rude and uncivil of behaviour, and rather aim at debauching them than at marriage: And you must be brisk with them, or they will take you for a drone without a sting.

Widows, especially the young ones, are gamesome and buxom, for having once smelt to the spit, they always love a good joint; those you must entertain with some merry discourse, and lay aside whining or solemn protestations; kiss them till their ears crack; and when you find a convenient time and place, warm them with caresses, squeezing their hand, gently treading on their toes; and when you kiss, bear close to them, and you will soon perceive, by their eager looks, blushing, and their often changing of colour, that now is the time to ask a favour, to which you will have a faint denial, if any at all, and then make use of your time, and press forward without delays, for they are dangerous; and many a fair opportunity has slipt, that could not be recovered, though earnestly pursued.

As for maids or widows, if you like a brisk man, and are bashful, you may use dumb signs, which is called love’s silent language, gaze on his face; then, when he perceives it, suddenly take off your eyes, and turn your head aside, blush naturally, forcingly hold in your breathing, and start a little when first you see him at any time, as if you were surprized; if he takes you by the hand, grasp him with a little trembling, and then seem to withdraw your hand again, as if uneasy. If he kisses you, stay your lips on his awhile, with great affection; and he must be very dull that will not take these for the signs of tender love.

Above all things, either man or woman ought to conduct themselves with perfect modesty and decorum, in the presence of those they esteem, as it is the most certain method of gaining their esteem and love.

More might be said on this subject, but nature and practice are the best instructors.

EXACT RULES,

Whereby a Man or Woman may know if they shall obtain the one they love.

To know this, which hath been held for a great secret, put their Christian and Sirnames together, and consider what numbers the letters make that stand for numbers in them; as the I, stands for one; V, for five; X, for ten; L, for fifty; C, for a hundred; M, for a thousand; D, for five hundred, &c. Write every letter on a separate piece of paper, roll them up, and put the billets into any thing, and then shake them together: And, in drawing, if the number of your names comes up to what it would, in so many billets which, you put in for, you will be happy in your desire; but if a cross number arise, you will meet with many disappointments.

How a Young Man or Woman may choose a good Husband or Wife.

The hair in this case is commonly very remarkable and most significant.

Black hair signifies the person rash, choleric, given much to quarrels and strife; but if it be soft and pliable, the person is moderately meek and humble, of a free temper and good nature.

Dark brown hair signifies an indifferent good temper loving and affable, one easy to be wrought on with good usage.

Light brown hair, that is not harsh or broken at the ends, shews the party very loving and good natured, industrious and patient in the pleasure of marriage.

Flaxen hair is Venus’s own colour, and rarely fails, in any one, to render a soft, kind temper, usually of a fair and sanguine complexion, very amorous, and apt to love.

Dusky red hair, shews the person melancholy, and of a morose temper, not much subject to love, but covetous, and anxious to obtain honour and riches.

Bright or deep red hair shews the party to be very lecherous; one that will have many children, and very pleasing in marriage; yet apt to stray if satisfaction in marriage fails. It also signifieth the party wise and industrious, not designed for great riches.

Any colours that are intermixed between these, participate equally of the temper, qualities, good nature, and humours, that I have mentioned in the degrees of mixtures. And thus many a man or woman may make their conjecture, and so be happy.

Signs of Love and speedy Marriage, or the contrary, by seeing or meeting divers sorts of creatures at first in the mornings and various other circumstances.

These signs of love and marriage, have been greatly taken notice of, in their exact succeeding, according to the desire of the parties, and are as follows, viz.

1. For a woman to have the first and last letters of her Christian name the same with the man’s Sir-name that makes love to her, denotes a happy union, and that the man will be a generous lover.

2. For the man to have the first and last letters of his Christian name the same with the woman’s Sir-name, denotes the same.

3. To think on a person upon sudden waking, without any meditation, upon a Friday morning, that before had a place in the affections of a man or woman, is a demonstration that love or extraordinary friendship will take place between them.

4. If a ring accidently fall off a man’s finger that is under no obligation of marriage, and runs directly to the foot of a maid or widow, it denotes not only he is in love with the party, but that a sudden marriage will ensue between them.

5. If a robin red-breast comes fluttering to your window, and sings very pleasantly, perching near it, it denotes a very speedy marriage.

6. If a hare start in your way, and run on your right hand, you will have success in love affairs; but if she cross you, or run on the left hand, it denotes you will be interrupted by others as rivals.

7. If swallows chatter merrily, and sing in the chimney of the chamber where you lie, it denotes you will have many sweethearts, and be kindly treated.

8. Bats fluttering at your window, betokens misfortunes in love. The croaking of ravens being the first thing you hear in the morning, denotes the same.

9. To meet a sow, on first going out in the morning, carrying straw in her mouth, denotes that a maid or widow will soon be married, and be fruitful in children.

10. To hear magpies chatter, and flying about as you walk abroad, denotes much strife and brawling in marriage.

11. If walking abroad with your sweetheart you perceive a pair of pigeons encircle you round, it is a sign of marriage and happiness to ensue, with contentment.

12. If one drops their garter, when going to see their sweetheart, it denotes they will meet with a cold reception.

How to choose a good Husband or Wife.

1. If the man be of a ruddy complexion, high and full nosed, his eye-brows bending archwise, his eyes standing full, of a black and lively colour it denotes him to be good natured, ingenious, and born to good fortune; and the same of a woman, if she be born under the planet Jupiter.

2. If a party be phlegmatic, lean, and of a dusky complexion, and much given to musing or melancholy, beware of such an one, of what sex soever.

3. An indifferent wide mouth, with full cheeks, smooth forehead, little ears, dark brown hair, and a chin proportionable to the face, is very promising.

4. An extraordinary thin chin, with the under lip larger than the upper, signifies a cross grained person, fit for little performance, yet given to great folly.

5. A long nose on a man, and a little mouth in a woman, signifies neither can be deceived in their marriage views.

6. A well set broad chin in a man, his face being round, and not too great, and a dimple or dint in a woman’s cheek or chin, denotes they will come together, and live happy in their married state.

ART OF PALMISTRY.

Several Characters or Semblance of Letters and Lines in the Hand, as they tend to signify Riches, Honour, long Life, short Life, Poverty, Loss, number of Wives, or Children, Sickness; untimely Death and many other things, according to the Art of Palmistry.

There are in this case divers Letters and Lines appearing in the hand, by which the wise of all ages have given judgment, in the foregoing premises.

1. If the character A, be found on the mount of Jupiter, or the root of the middle finger, it promises a growing fortune, and perhaps considerable preferment, by the favour of princes and great men.

2. If a B be found on the mount of the Sun, which is at the root of the fourth finger, it signifies length of days, prosperity, much to be credited, also a virtuous person.

3. If O, with a star over it, appears on the mount of Venus, it gives the person early and happy marriage, promises many children, and a merry and happy life.

4. If the letter L be on the mount of Saturn, which is at the root of the middle finger, and be cut with cross lines, it denotes the party to undergo much affliction, to be given up to melancholy, and to be but very tender and of short life, &c.

5. the letter K, upon the mount of Mercury, which is at the root of the little finger, denotes the party to rise to preferment by ingenuity and a happy marriage.

6. The letter D, on the mount of the Moon, denotes the party to be kind and good-natured, and much beloved.

7. The letter G, in the plain of Mars, near the line of life, speaks the party to be of a violent temper, given up to anger, and threatens him or her with sudden or untimely death: However, to a woman it promises a good husband, that shall grow great in military affairs.—Thus much for the characters of this kind on the hand.

Lines in the Hand, and their Significations, relating to Love, Marriage, Business, &c.

1. If the Table Line be broad, fair, and well coloured, it signifies the party, if a man, will have two wives; if a woman, as many husbands, and lucky marriages.

2. If the Line of life extends itself from the root of the fore finger to the mount of the Moon, or the brawn of the hand, it then denotes long life: but if it be cut short, and divided by many crosses, the contrary.

3. If the girdle of Venus, which reaches from the outside of the hand to the root of the middle finger, be fair and well proportioned, not cut or divided by cross lines, it denotes to the party extraordinary advantage by marriage.——Several little crosses upon the Liver line, which runs directly upon the hand, denotes sickness and an unhealthy constitution; but if it be fair and clean it signifies health and long life.

4. If little direct lines come from the root of the finger, they signify to a woman to have three husbands; and to a man, great riches, honour, and preferment.

5. If they have three large lines on the joint of the wrist, it denotes easy childbearing, and not subject to miscarriage.

6. If the nails of the hand be transparent, red, long, and of a fair complexion, it is a sign of long life; but if cloudy, dark, or of a lead colour, the contrary.

7. If the line branch toward the fore and middle finger, and end blunt, it betokens riches and preferment to men; and to women, kind and loving husbands.

8. If there happen a cut or separation between your two left fingers, it denotes loss if not ruin to the party, by commerce or law-suits—Thus much for these Lines, and for their different significations.

A Prognostication
Concerning the BIRTH of CHILDREN on every Day of the Week.

1. They that are born on a Sunday, will, in all probability, be great and thriving.

2. They that are born on Monday, will likely prosper in beginning work that day.

3. They that are born on Tuesday, will be covetous and be in danger of perishing by iron, and hardly come to old age; but to begin any thing on that day is lucky.

4. They that are born on a Wednesday, will be very slow in learning any thing.

5. They that are born on a Thursday, will be steady and respectable; and to begin any work or business on that day is fortunate.

6. They that are born on a Friday, will live long, and be extremely lecherous.

7. They that are born on a Saturday, shall seldom be successful, except the course of the moon do bring him to it.

A Division of Man’s Age into Twelve times Six periods, and the Duty of each.

6. The first six years bring him up a child,

12. The next keep him under from waxing too wild,

18. The next let him learn no longer to toy,

24. The next a man, and no longer a boy,

30. The next let him lay out for a wife,

36. The next make his study to thrive,

42. The next make sure for a term of life,

48. The next save something for children and wife,

54. The next to be said, give over thy lust,

60. The next O think where go thou must,

66. The next get a staff thy body to stay,

72. The next prepare for Heaven, Lord shew thee the way!

Remember that all these divisions post on,

And that this life will quickly be gone.

FINIS.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
