of another Mind; wherefore I crave leave to relate part of the
History, or Original of this last War, as a necessary Introduction to
the proper Observations I shall make upon it.

There was a King of a certain Country in the Moon, call'd in their
Language, Ebronia, who was formerly a Confederate with the
Solunarians. This Prince dying without Issue, the great Monarch we
speak of, seiz'd upon all his Dominions as his Right.----- Tho' if I
remember right, he had formerly Sworn never to lay Claim to it, and
after that by a subsequent Treaty had agreed with the Solunarian
Prince, that another Monarch who claim'd a Right as well as he,
should divide it between them.

The breach of this Agreement, and seizing this Kingdom, put almost
all the Lunar World into a Flame, and War hung over the Heads of all
the Northern Nations of the Moon, for several Claims were made to the
Succession by other Princes, and particularly by a certain Potent
Prince call'd the Eagle, of an Ancient Family, whose Lunar Name I
cannot well express, but in English it signifies the Men of the great
Lip; whether it was Originally a sort of a Nick Name, or whether they
had any such thing as a great Lip Hereditary to the Family, by which
they were distinguisht, is not worth my while to Examine.

'Tis without question that the successive Right, if their Lunar
Successions, are Govern'd as ours are in this world, devolv'd upon
this Man with the Lip and his Families; but the Gallunarian Monarch
brought things so to pass, by his extraordinary Conduct, that the
Ebronian King was drawn in by some of his Nobility, who this Prince
had Bought and Brib'd to betray their Country to his Interest, and
particularly a certain High Priest of that Country, to make an
