182511300London: Knight and Lacey 1825. Seventh Edition First Edition thus. Half Calf. Very Good. Seventh Edition First Edition thus. Half Calf. Robert Cross Smith 1795-1832 a former carpenter was an English astrologer writing under the pseudonym of "Raphael." He also referred to himself as the Royal Merlin. He married in 1820 and moved to London where he became interested in astrology. Together with G. W. Graham he published a book on geomancy in 1822. Smith began to edit a periodical The Straggling Astrologer in 1824 but failed to receive enough subscribers and the periodical had to be discontinued after a few issues. He collected the issues of the failed periodical in a volume entitled The Astrologer Of The Nineteenth Century in the same year. From 1827 until his death in 1832 he edited an astrological almanac entitled The Prophetic Messenger. Also published by Smith was The Familiar Astrologer and A Manual of Astrology both in 1828. Smith died on 26 February 1832 in London. His almanac continued to be edited as Raphael's Ephemeris and would become a standard work in British and US American astrology. Raphael's Ephemeris popularized the system of Placidian system of astrological houses in the English-speaking world and in modern western astrology in general. Published posthumously. The name Raphael one of the names given to one of the three archangels in the Old Testament was used as Smith's pseudonym. The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century covers in quite dramatic prose a multitude of occult topics in ten chapters or "circles." Raphael contends that he believes firmly in astrology fairly firmly in geomancy and not much in magic rites charms or incantations. Includes many necromantic workings including a summoning spell for Oberon. He only includes these last to satisfy "those who delight in the terrific and the horribly sublime." The book makes a range of arguments for the veracity of astorlogy the most ingenious being that "the greatest rulers and statesmen and chiefs of the present age" are part of a conspiracy.

"Pholas dactylus the common glowing piddock is a famous luminescent organism because Dubois who discovered the general luciferin-luciferase reaction back in the 19th century was specifically working on this species Dubois 1889." Delroisse Jérôme Duchatelet Laurent Flammang Patrick Mallefet Jérôme: Leaving the Dark Side Insights Into the Evolution of Luciferases. Frontiers in Marine Science 8 2021 Raphaël Horace Dubois 1849-1929 was a French pharmacologist known for his work on bioluminescence and anesthesia. He coined the terms proteon and bioproteon from the Greek "proteon" for matter and "bios" for life. Bioproteon means "living matter". He concluded that there was no difference between matter and living matter. Dubois' bioluminescence work began when he became a research assistant to Paul Bert in 1882. While initially planning to study the effects of anesthesia on mollusks witnessing the bioluminescence of Pyrophorus noctilucus inspired him to study the beetle more in depth. Dubois discovered that not only do the adults glow but so do the unfertilized eggs embryo and larvae. Dubois later conducted studies on Scolioplanes crassipes wherein Dubois discovered the source of its luminescence is in cells of the wall of the gut. Dubois published a paper studying the light production of Pholas dactylus in 1887 in which he coined the terms luciferin and luciferase. unknown
