Old Poor Robin. 1778. An almanack, after the old; yet nevertheless as agreeable as head and Hands can make it, to the newest new fashion, &c. Or, a new Edition of an old Ephemeris: wherein thou, O Reader, (if thou canst Read) Art sure to find Abundance and plenty of matters most dainty; Well worthy of thy utmost Attention, Observation, Consideration, &c. and also of the highest Approbation. Containing a double Calendar; Viz. The good, new, true, downright, upright, honest and punctual English Account; and also the whimsey-headed fantastical Account of sorry Saints, and sad Sinners, from one End of this Year to the other. Written by the old honest Poor Robin, Knight of the Burnt-Island; and a sincere Well wisher to the Mathematics. and the Second after Bissextile or Leap-Year. Also the Twenty-Sixth of the New-Style, in England.
