Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the enigmatic world of 18th-century England, introducing the reader to the eccentric and intriguing inhabitants of Bachelor's Island. The author immerses us in the unique customs and societal norms of this peculiar land, where men possessed by a peculiar madness roamed the streets, driven by a fervent desire to seek pleasure and avoid responsibility. Beyond the island's whimsical exterior, however, lies a deeper exploration of human nature. The author examines the dangers of a society governed by hedonism and self-indulgence, exposing the emptiness and despair that lie beneath the facade of mindless pursuits. Through a series of vivid anecdotes and thought-provoking observations, the book challenges conventional notions of morality and happiness. It invites readers to question the true meaning of fulfillment and the consequences of shirking societal expectations in favor of a life of unrestrained pleasure. Ultimately, this book serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of balance, moderation, and the pursuit of meaningful connections over fleeting indulgences.

A very early issue of a Weatherwise American Almanac. Illustrated with the well-known anatomical woodcut of a man "governed by the twelve constellations," and woodcut page frames. 12mo, original printed self wrappers, stitched. 15 leaves unnumbered including printed wrappers. A very well preserved little almanac, the wrappers somewhat worn at the corners, the rear with a little loss at the bottom outside corner, some expected toning and mellowing to the paper and some spotting but complete and very usable and with the original stitching still strong and tight. AN EARLY WEATHERWISE ALMANAC, and a competitor of Franklin's "Poor Richard". Abraham Weatherwise was of course a pseudonym, and one which was likely used by multiple almanac printers. They "ushered in the healthiest and most interesting period of almanac making" (Sagendorph, 116). Along with the typical astronomical data and weather forecasts, this almanac also contains a table valuing the dollar, humorous stories and historical tracts, a collection of hints and home remedies for the care of horses, court dates for Pennsylvania and New Jersey and a schedule for Quaker meetings.

Drake 3313. Evans 17354. ESTC W20838. Erroneously attributed to David Rittenhouse by Evans.

Verso of titlepage has announcement for James Murray's An Impartial History of the War in America.

Disbound. Condition: Fair. None (illustrator). First edition. An extremely scarce American almanac from the eighteenth century containing ephemerides. An early publication following American independence, this work contains many astronomical notes. The first edition of this almanac, containing many tables of ephemerides for the year 1789. Undated, dated using Library Hub, as 1788. Very scarce only seen at auction twice in the last forty years. (Both times disbound - as issued) Abraham Weatherwise was a pseudonym used for many almanacks from the years 1784 to 1788. It is believed that this is a pseudonym for Samuel Bullard. This is because the astronomical notes on the calendar pages parallle those in his 'An almanach for the year of the Christian aera 1789 (Boston)'. Disbound as issued, lacking the half-title and bookseller's advertisement occasionally seen. This astronomical calendar was calculated for the meridian of Boston,m 'but will serve for the adjacent states'. A very scarce work. Disbound.

Chipping has affected the bottom seven entries of the tables, which are slightly obscured due to a spill burn. Tidemark to the final three leaves, not affecting the text. Occasional spots to pages.
