| Item Description: | Listed by Drake, 3138, as a variant Draper issue, having the price line at foot of title page and lacking the word "ephemeris" from the ninth line of the title. In fact a pirated edition printed at New London by Timothy Green (1737-1796), similar to the spurious Ames almanacs for 1762 and 1763 printed by his uncle Timothy Green (1703-1763) and identified in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. 24 (1914): 117-118. Green also published an edition of Ames for 1764 over his own imprint. The present edition is typographiclly distinct from the true Draper edition, but is for the most part typographically identical with the edition bearing the Green imprint. Not in Evans or Bristol.
