Poor Robin. 1729. A new almanack after the old fashion: Wherein you may see (when your eyes and the book are open) how many eclipses there will be; also how many quarters in the year, with many other useful discoveries. Being the first after bissextile or leap-year. Containing a two-fold calendar. With the plain, downright, honest, old, true, English account, with the saints own'd by trueborn Englishmen; also the thick-scull'd, thin-scull'd, left-handed account, and their anti-saints in the column where their demerit has fixed them. Calculated for the latitude of all true Britons, but especially those that are downright above board. Written by Poor Robin knight of the Burnt Island, a well-wisher to the mathematicks
