1768 Colonial Americana 1ed Almanac Fletcher Massachusetts Bay Charter Plymouth

1768 1^ed Colonial Americana Almanac Fletcher Massachusetts Bay Charter Plymouth

‘Edes & Gill’s North American Almanack’ was a short-lived 18^th-century almanac that covered basic almanac information such as sunrise and sunset times, eclipses, phases of the moon, etc. However, this particular almanac is notable for the inclusion of Pennsylvania Governor Benjamin Fletcher’s 1692 commission to English royals William and Mary, one of America’s founding charters (Wakelyn), also known as the Massachusetts Bay Charter.

A fascinating piece of pre-Constitution Americana with references to Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Cape Cod in the section on distances between principal American towns.
