There are delicious marbled paper pockets at each end and the pages are printed in black and red.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. A genuine 1769 Georgian pocket almanack titled Rider's British Merlin, compiled by Cardanus Rider and printed in London for the Company of Stationers. A small-format annual publication typical of the period, containing calendars, astronomical tables, agricultural notes, and general practical information for daily use. These almanacks were widely carried and heavily used, making complete surviving examples increasingly scarce. This copy is complete, with title page present and all sections intact. Internally readable throughout. Bound in original leather, now heavily worn, with loss to the surface and clear signs of age and use. The binding remains fragile but still holds the text block together. The interior shows age-related toning, staining, and handling wear. Several early ownership inscriptions and ink markings appear to the front and rear blanks, adding to its period character. A well-used but complete example of an 18th-century English almanack, offering authentic insight into everyday life and printed ephemera of the Georgian period. …
