They calculate the years by the number of rainy seasons. They portion the year into moons, and reckon the days by so many suns. The day they divide into morning, midday, and evening; and farther subdivide it, when necessary, by pointing to the sun's place in the heavens.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
