Esquire Bickerstaff's most strange and wonderful predictions for the year, 1708. Wherein the month and the day of the month are set down, when several most surprizing accidents shall certainly come to pass, as particularly that the present French King shall die on the 29th of July. The pope to die the 11th of September. The Dauphin the French King's son to dye on the 7th of May. That partridge the famous astrologer is to dye on the 29th of March. On the 23rd of May a famous actor of the play-house will die a ridiculous death, suitable to his vocation. Upon the 26th of August, will arrive from Flanders such a welcome express of victory, that a thousand bonfires will be made in London for joy of the news, and in the same month a noble admiral will gain immortal honour, by obtaining a signal victory at sea. On the 6th of June the city of Paris will be burnt down to the ground. Towards the end of August will be great mischief done in Bartholomew-fair, by the rumbling down of a booth: with several other strange things too tedious here to be related
