Beschreibung

Beschreibung:

[24]pp. Small octavo. Gathered signatures, stitched. Stain to lower margin and taped tear to fore margin of titlepage, neither touching text. Dampstain to upper right quarter of the page throughout, stronger at the beginning. Contemporary manuscript annotations in ink on several pages. Interior otherwise quite clean. Good plus. One of several 1787 Connecticut almanacs put out by Yale professor of Mathematics and natural Philosophy Rev. Nehemiah Strong. The calendar verses for this almanac make up a continuing poem on the virtues of fortitude. Along with the typical calendars and notices, this almanac contains an extensive essay on the use of Elder to protect crops from Hessian flies, excerpted from a letter originally published in the PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY. The Hessian fly, first observed in New York around 1779, is thought to have been introduced to North America in the imported straw bedding used by Hessian troops during the Revolutionary War, and was in part responsible for the grain shortage that led to the Panic of 1837. This copy additionally features a number of contemporary manuscript notes on the calendar pages, apparently from a farmer remarking on what days his livestock calved (or in one case 'pigged'), sometimes recording the color and sex of the offspring. EVANS 20013. DRAKE 396. ESTC W25528. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM57004
