The fore-edges are worn and creased with a little chipping. The edges are uneven, not trimmed. A few ink notes in the margins, in the antique handwriting of the period. The first half of the almanac is set up with tables of information, month by month. The second half is called a "Micro-Chronicon or Brief Chronological Account of many Remarkable Accidents and Occurences, that have Happened in all Ages since the Creation to this present Year."
