American Revolution
1780 Nathanael Low Almanack Boston, Massachusetts
1780 Revolutionary War, "An Astronomical Diary, or Almanack for the Year of Christian Era, 1780, Being Leapyear," by Nathanael Low, Boston (MA). Fine.
This original 1780 Colonial Almanac has 21 pages complete, measuring about 7" x 4.5", includes all the standard astronomical calculations and calendars as well as articles and anecdotes. This almanac "For the Year of Christian Era, 1780. Being Leap Year, and the Fourth Year of the Independent States of America. Containing, besides what is common in Almanacks, is a great variety of curious, useful, and entertaining Particulars." It is "Calculated for the Meridian of Boston, in America, Latitude 42 Degrees 35 Minutes North. By Nathanael Low." Binding sewn and solidly intact; general overall age and light wear, internally clean for this booklet from the early Revolutionary War years of the United States. A large woodcut engraving on the cover corresponds to the first page discussion titled "ECLIPSES for the Year 1780". The first statement on page 2 titled "A certain Way to FREEDOM," plus other patriotic War related commentary within the various text blocks. Our favorite Revolutionary War related ditty near the end titled, "The Sailor's Mistake" reading, in full: "A Cannon ball, one bloody day, - Took a poor Sailor's leg away; - When, on his comrade's back, he made off, - A second fairly took his head off; - The fellow, on this odd emergence, - Carries him pick pack to the surgeons. - Z--ds! cries the doctor, are you drunk, - To bring me here a headless trunk! - A lying dog! cries Jack, - he said - His head was off, and not his head."
