"Arthur Pearson , of Pearson's Weekly , was born at 11 a.m. ( local time * ) , February 24th , 1866 , at Wookey , near Wells , Somersetshire . The latitude is 51 ° 25 ' north , and the longitude is 21 ° west of Greenwich . ... It is not known by Mr. Pearson if the time given is local or Greenwich time , so the test horoscope , which appeared in Borderland , was computed for 11 a.m. ( local time ) ."
Therefore, as Pearson is quoted for the data, it is rated A.
