About This Item

Boston: Printed and Sold by the Printers and Booksellers, 1767. 12 leaves (complete), stitched. Light dustsoiling, blank corner wear. Good+.

The almanac prints the important pre-Revolutionary Resolutions of the Town of Boston, urging development of domestic industries and discouraging European importations, in view of the "heavy Debt, incurred in the Course of the late War...Moneys that should go in Payment, are now to be taken from us, without our Consent, to support, independent of the People, and in greater Affluence, the Officers of the Crown; as also to maintain & keep up a large Body of Regular Troops in America." The Almanac prints a table of distances of New England towns from Boston, "with the best Stages to put up at."
This is the issue with 'Vacations at Havard [sic]-College' at the bottom of the last page. Drake and ESTC note this issue, but with 'Harvard' spelled correctly. We do not locate a source recording the typographical error present in our copy.
Evans 10541. Drake 3160. ESTC W22475.
