Poor Robin. 1765. An almanack after and of the old and new fashion; or, An Ephemeris of the last and best Edition. Wherein (if he can) the Reader may find (by the Rules of Astronomical Gimcracks) Abundance of mighty useful and very remarkable Matters and Things, highly worthy of his utmost Attention, curious Observation, and greatest Approbation. Containing a Twofold Calendar. Viz. The good, new, true, honest English Account, as well as the magotty, whimsy-headed, minute-splitting, fanatic, fantastical Account of a great many Saints, and as many Sinners; with many other valuable Matters and Things, as they will happen from the Beginning of this Year to the latter End thereof. and the very first after Bissextile or Leap-Year. Written by Poor Robin, Knight of the Burnt-Island: A Well-Wisher to the Mathematics
