1757rif. 3782Scarce 1758 Almanac with Great F&I War Content This almanac provides vivid insight into the impact of the French & Indian War on the American colonies. A fiery poetic narrative is carried through at the head of each monthly calendar page. For instance August's verse: "This Month alas! Proclaims a double Woe Both 'Swego and Lake George our Losses know; Fort William-Henry felt the fatal stroke From faithless Villains. Who their promise broke False to their Words our Men became their Prey; And do we yet a just Revenge delay." Following the calendar pages is a four-page "Continuation of the Historical Account of Affairs in North America…" which provides a summary of military actions from the loss of the fort at Oswego in August 1756 through "the last Day of August 1757 since which we can add no further Intelligence." Also of significance is a full page devoted to "A short discourse on Comets with some account of that which is expected to appear in the present year 1758." It references Dr. Halley's work and includes this nod to the progress of the science of astronomy: "If therefore this comet return according to this period in 1758 and there is the greatest reason to think it will astronomy will then have something new to boast of." Halley's comet as it is now known did indeed appear on Christmas night 1758. A rare almanac. RareBookHub notes only one listing: an auction in 1924 for which no price was given.

1828rif. ABC_45237Madras: Asylum Press 1828. Contemporary red sheepskin sprinkled edges. Rebacked in calf red sheepskin spine label blue paper pasted over the sides. 8vo. With 1 engraved hand-coloured folding plate showing different kinds of ships flags. Lacking 2 leaves. A rare issue of the Madras almanac a landmark in the history of British-Indian colonial printing before the Mutiny in 1857. Styled on European almanacs it is a great source of information on India and especially Madras in the years 1827-1829. The tradition of preparing and printing almanacs in India was quite new. The Madras almanac first printed in 1799 and initially called the Madras register and later until its demise in 1935 the Asylum Press almanac gives not only useful community information such as birth and death rates for 1827-1828 and domestic events but also offers glimpses into the British colonial and native Indian politics in India and the officers involved at that time. It therefore provided much important information for the British Indian colonists. Of special practical importance are the information and conversion tables for money weights and measures and also the tables of roads from Madras to principal towns and military stations in the region. The Madras Almanac a practical guide for the British-Indian colonist in 1829 now provides us with a window into Madras society in the period 1827 to 1829.The original sheepskin rubbed and the later paper covering it chipped corners bumped. Otherwise in good condition.l Orchiston Sule & Vahia The Development of Astronomy and Astrophysics in India and the Asia-Pacific Region 2018 p. 271; this issue not in Worldcat. Asylum Press, unknown

1845rif. 66430Madras: Printed and published by Edmund Marsden at the Asylum Press Mount Road 1845. First edition. These local vade mecums annual publications produced using local materials are inevitably uncommon on the market. Although substantial at around 700 pages they have a low survival rate. That they were retained after their supersession is demonstrated by the fact that this copy has the presentation inscription dated in 1849 of the Massachusetts-born missionary and educator of Ceylon Revd Daniel Poor to the title page. Compendious covering the civil military and religious establishments including salaries; the legal administration; professional regulations including those for palankeen bearers; post office regulations and charges; ship arrivals and departures; births deaths marriages and estates probated within the presidency; this is an excellent source of reference for the understanding of the nature of the British administration in India. Octavo 225 x 148 mm. 3 hand-coloured plates of signal flags based upon Marryat's system. Contemporary sheep on marbled boards skilfully rebacked to style with the original label laid down. Slightly rubbed on the boards part of front free endpaper neatly excised typically somewhat browned and consequently brittle in the margins but overall a very good copy sensitively restored. hardcover
