BICKERSTAFF'S NEW-ENGLAND ALMANACK, FOR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD, 1779

Norwich: Printed and Sold Wholesale and Retail, by J. Trumbull, 1778. [24] pp. Stitched. Chip at inner corner of title page affects the first two letters of the title; some lightening to the text of the title page. Light edge wear, small closed tear to last leaf [text preserved]. Good+.

A scarce Revolutionary War almanac; NAIP locates a copy at AAS and three in Connecticut. It expresses appropriate patriotic sentiments, and refers to the colonists as 'Americans' fighting for the freedom of their "bleeding country." "AMERICANS! for freedom firmly join/ unite your councils, and your force combine;/ Disarm oppression- prune ambition's wings,/ and stifle Tories, e'er they dart their stings."
