About This Item
Philadelphia: Stewart & Cochran, 1794. [40] pp, as issued. Stitched, corners turned, mild spotting and a bit of wear. Good+.
This is a particularly interesting Almanac. Its story of the London Plague must have especially intrigued the beleaguered citizens of Philadelphia. It is followed by a dramatic "account of the Yellow Fever, Prevalent in Philadelphia in the year 1793," in nine pages. Cures for "the Stone," dropsy, and corns are also offered, as well as tables of Roads and other information.
Evans 27080. Drake 10371.
