Description
-Small English pocket pocket almanac from 1809. -Ornately stamped gilt leather binding, with slipcase. -Total printed pages is 48; however, there are a number of intentionally blank pages as well--presumably for adding personal notes. -Printed in black and red ink on creamy laid paper. -Partial watermark can be seen on some pages. -Marbled endpapers. -Tables and charts with ruled columns and divisions. -Second numbered page has a partial duty stamp. -Measures 2"L x .25"W x 4"H. -Manufacturing error: I see three pages that were trimmed too closely. Some type was partially cut off, but it can still be read and understood. -On the title page: GOLDSMITH. An ALMANACK For the Year of Our LORD GOD M. DCCCIX. Being the First after Bissextile or Leap-Year, Wherein are contained NECESSARY RULES and USEFUL TABLES, With the proper Days and Hours for Transferring Stocks and receiving Dividends; and a List of Holidays kept at the Publick Offices, Law Terms; Great Officers of State, &c. Calculated by JOHN GOLDSMITH London: Printed for the COMPANY of STATIONERS By C. and R. Baldwin, New Bridge-street; and sold by G. Greenhill, at their Hall, Ludgate-street Price Is. 10d. Stitched. -Condition: This item is in great used, antique condition. Aside from normal, expected shelf wear, the book has no issues other than the over-trimming of three pages that is mentioned above. You can see the stitching in the gutter on a few pages, but the binding is still holding strong. The slipcase shows some wear, but it is structurally very sound. The wear is mostly cosmetic. -Photos: Please study the photos carefully. They help to describe the book's condition. I have tried to show any wear or other condition issues in the photos.
