Excerpt from The Book of Almanacs: With an Index of Reference, by Which the Almanac May Be Found for Every Year, Whether in Old Style or New, From Any Epoch, Ancient or Modern, Up to A. D. 2000 Tms work is fashioned upon two difl'erent hints, derived, the one* from the late L. B. Francaaur, the other? From the well-known James Ferguson. Francmur was the first I know of who imagined the very simple and effective plan of uniting the thirty-five almanaos, and indicating the proper one for each year by an index. And Ferguson is the first who dared to think that an almanac-maka' (to which I add, an historian) might, by a trifling calculation, find new and full moons accurately enough, if he were provided with an abridgement of the mass of tables by which the astronomer calculates the moon's place. But though I thus acknowledge, as I am bound to do, that this work is suggested by the writers above named, yet I must also state that I am neither translator nor editor of either; insomuch that I know ofno way of introducing their names into the title-page, except the one which I have adopted. The whole work has been reconstructed from higher authorities, on the plan of the writers to whose suggestions I am indebted.
