Lunarian n. 1757 β€˜M. W.’ History of Israel Jobson 24 Well, I must tell you, said the Angel, that the Progeny of Pan Metal, are Propagated in your Way by Mutual Embraces, which in the Coition become so Hot as to Melt and Dissolve a little of their virile Substances; which in the Space of Nine Weeks, commonly produce a Metallick Youth of the same Species, either Male or Female; but sometimes it happens to be what they call a Lunarian, which having Rent it’s Parent comes gingling into the World like a Kettle-Drum; this is one of the greatest Rarities in the Lunar World, and peculiar to it.

W.’ History of Israel Jobson 57 Angel of God, said I, thy narration has enlarg’d my Soul, and I am so transported with your Doctrine, that I behold with Indolence the nice Construction of this mighty Globe, yet I cannot without Admiration gaze upon the prodigious Magnitude and Strength of the Saturnians, who are building a Gothick Structure of Yellow Copper, as large as the Tower of Babel.
