Old Poor Robin: 1780. An almanack, after the old; yet nevertheless as agreeable and conformable as Head and Hands can make it, to the newest new fashion of all. Or, a new Edition of a very 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 particularly deserving thy Approbation and Preservation. 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 oldest and honestest poor Robin, Knight of the Burnt-Island; and a most sincere Well-Wisher to every Honest Man. Being the One Hundred and Eighteenth Edition; and the very Bissextile or Leap-Year; and also the Twenty-Eighth of the New Style in Old England. Kind gentle Reader, honest Buyer; (take Bob's Word for't) 'tis His Desire To please you Well,-But if He miss His Aim for Once-He tells you this; Some he may Please-Some, not at all, But his Endeavour ever shall Be to avoid foolish Predictions, Which are but idle Lies and Fictions
