Old Poor Robin: 1779. An almanack, after the old; yet nevertheless as conformable as Head and Hands can make it, to the very newest new fashion. Or, a new Edition of an old Ephemeris, Wherein thou, O Reader (if that thou canst but Read) art sure to find Abundance and Plenty of Matters most dainty; Well worthy of thy utmost Attention, Consideration, Observation, &c. but more particularly much deserving of thy highest Approbation. Containing a two-fold Calendar: (viz.) The good, new, true, honest, punctual, upright, and downright English Account: And also, the foolish, fantastical, whimsey-headed, idle Account of sad Sinners, and sorry Saints, from one End of the Year to the other. Written by the old honest Poor Robin, Knight of the Burnt-Island; and a sincere Well-Wisher to all Honest Men! &c. Being the One Hundred and Seventeenth Edition; and the Third after Bissextile or Leap-Year; and the Twenty-Seventh of the New Style in England
