[36] pp. A fine example of Franklin's Poor Richard, replete with an essay blaming the printer for typographical errors in the 1749 edition. The entry for April features a discussion on Smallpox and Smallpox inoculations, ". . . it now begins to be thought rash to hazard it in the common Way, by which one in seven is generally lost; and impious to reject a Method discovered to Mankind by God's good Providence, whereby 99 in 100 are saved." (I would suggest that this line of reasoning is as applicable today as it was back in 1750); illustrated with "The Anatomy of Man's Body as govern'd by the Twelve Constellations" woodcut, along with twelve calendrical woodcuts; internally with a few minor spots and a small marginal loss to one page which is now restored.

Published under the pseudonym âRichard Saundersâ by American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richardâs Almanack appeared continuously each year from 1732 to 1758. Containing meteorological, astrological and astronomical information as typical almanacs of the period contained, Poor Richardâs Almanac is chiefly remembered as a repository for Franklinâs unique aphorisms and proverbs which live on in contemporary American English. Poor Richard's Maxims improved contains a lengthy Cure for the Spleen.
