An exceedingly rare and valuable 1776 American register! Hugh Gaine’s “Universal Register” was a regular recurring almanac with an interesting Quaker lean to it. This register includes expected calendar events that are found in every almanac from this era, but it also contains a list of all of the general meetings of Quakers and where they are to be held. Of course, the greatest draw of this particular issue is that it was published the same year that America would gain its independence. A truly rare and coveted piece of Revolution-era America!
