Eland’s Tutor to Astrology was George Parker’s revised and expanded edition of what was originally a brief pocket-book on natal astrology published in the 1650s. Parker incorporated many changes of his own to the original text and must therefore be considered the co-author of this edition, which was enduringly popular in the 18th century
