[1] Publication records indicate 1996 for the first printing

[2] Presumed a pseudonym; the author’s identity is not known

[3] The copyright is credited to ‘the Henneberry Company’, perhaps a clue to the identity of the author or production team

[3a] A series of publications collectively edited by Christian Leitz

[3b] The print date is 2018 but it was actually released to the public in early February 2019

[3c] Ibid.

[4] Presents brief Sun sign interpretations followed by separate interpretations of work aptitudes for every date of the year

[5] COPAC records indicate 1946

[6] A primer of the sun signs and sun-sign synastry

[7] Deduced from internal content to be after 1944. COPAC records disagree between 1944 and 1945

[8] Pseud. of Hodges, Henry Clay, q. v.

[9] A boxed seven-paperback reprint of the editions first published in 1902-10, q.v.

[10] All three original copies I have examined exhibit the leap from pp. x to xv, demonstrating that there are no pages missing and the error is one of pagination

[10a] Thus presumably either publisher Prince Tuala Tamalelagi or astrologer “Manamea” Tamalelagi, q.v.

[11] Presumed 1904 or possibly 1903

[11a] A series of publications directed by Prof. Luis S. Granjel at this time

[11b] The copyright is attributed to Éditions S.N.P., but the imprimatur agrees with a printing date of 1947

[12] It is not clear if this date pertains to the present or only the first edition

[12a] A series of publications by different authors on assorted occult and divintaory topics, including clairvoyance, astrology, palmistry and graphology

[13] Over the publisher legend on the front cover and spine has been pasted a sticker reading: “Librairie G. & J. Niclaus, 34, Rue Saint-Jacques – Paris (5e)”

[14] So stated in an added note on p. 107 although not at the beginning of the volume. After the original edition of 1937, q. v. immediately above. Despite the lesser nominal page count of this second edition, it is clear that 15 pages have been saved by eliminating most of the blanks and section title pages in the original edition, while the prefatory section has been trimmed by a couple of pages

[14a] The authorship of this volume is anonymous, but it is said to have been prepared by a committee of which Diane Ammons was the chair. Linda Berry and Sharon Leopardi are credited as technical consultants, and Gale Cox, Warren  Peaks and Jackie Speen for ‘Wordsmithing’ – which is presumed to mean that they individually wrote different portions of the text

[14b] The authorship of this volume is anonymous, but it is said to have been prepared by a committee of which Diane Ammons was the chair. Linda Berry and Sharon Leopardi are credited as technical consultants, and Gale Cox, Warren  Peaks and Jackie Speen for ‘Wordsmithing’ – which is presumed to mean that they individually wrote different portions of the text

[15] Appears in a typeface typical of the 1980s or 1990s

[16] The date of the second edition is given by the DNB (which lacks the first) as 1987. Some libraries record a date of 1989 for the third edition, suggesting that possibly the present 1990 printing is a second issue. One library uncertainly claims a date of “c. 1986” for an unspecified edition. It is not apparent from any library records when the first edition appeared

[17] The main part of this work, from pp. 135-341, consists of annotated mundane horoscopes for the countries of the world. The earlier part appears to present a system of local space astrology based on planets’ governance of different regions when they are in different signs

[18] The only date given for this printing is “Republished 1970”, but it was purchased new after 2000 and is likely to be a later printing of the Health Research edition. Internally, it is a facsimile reprint of the 1892 edition, unaltered except for the folding illustrations not being bound in

[18a] This illustrated scholarly history includes extensive evidence of the use of astrology in 19th century weather forecasting in England and touches on the history of Richard Morrison (Zadkiel I)

[19] NB: Mostly non-astrological, but relevant to the prediction culture of the times
