Poor Robin. 1741. An almanack according both to the old and new fashion : Or an ephemeris both in jest and earnest, of the latest edition, wherein the reader may observe (especially if he use a pair of understanding spectacles) many useful and very remarkable things, worthy the observation not of himself only, but also of all attentive by-standers. Containing a two-fold calendar; viz. the good, old, true, plain, honest English account, together with the new-fangled, minute-splitting (or rather month-splitting) whimsey-heads, paper-scull'd, slender-witted, pretendrical, perkinical, popish account; embellished with a team of saints and sinners, composed of 365 links at least twelve months long. Being the first after bissextile, or leap-year. Written by Poor Robin knight of the Burnt-Island; a well wisher to the mathematicks.
