AN ASTRONOMICAL DIARY, OR AN ALMANACK, 1752, by Nathaniel Ames, Boston, MA, 14 pages, 6.5" x 4", Choice Fine.
Right pages outer selvage with wormed edges away from any text, loose sheets, but the print is striking and fully legible. Includes astronomical charts for March through December, 1752, as well as advice from Nathaniel Ames: "Strong waters were formerly used only by the Direction of Physicians; but now Mechanicks and low-liv'd Labourers drink RUM like Fountain-Water; and they can infinitely better endure it than the idle, unactive and sedentary Part of Mankind; but Death is in the Bottom of the Cup of every one."
