He served in the Royal Navy, but resigned with the rank of lieutenant in 1829 . He then devoted himself to the study of astrology, and in 1831 issued The Herald of Astrology, subsequently known as Zadkiel's Almanac . In this annual pamphlet Morrison, over the signature " Zadkiel Tao-Sze," published predictions of the chief events of the coming year . In 1863 Morrison brought a libel action against Admiral Sir Edward Belcher, who had accused him of obtaining money by charlatanism in the form of crystal-gazing . He was awarded twenty shillings damages, but was deprived of his costs . Morrison died on the 5th of April 1874 .
