Courteous Reader,

THIS is the Twelfth Year that I have in this Way laboured for the Benefit — of Whom? — of the Publick, if you'll be so good-natured as to believe it; if not, e'en take the naked Truth, 'twas for the Benefit of my own dear self; not forgetting in the mean time, our gracious Consort and Dutchess the peaceful, quiet, silent Lady Bridget. But whether my Labours have been of any Service to the Publick or not, the Publick I must acknowledge has been of Service to me; I have lived Comfortably by its Benevolent Encour­agement; and I hope I shall always bear a grateful Sense of its continued Favour.

My Adversary I —n I —n has indeed made an Attempt to out-shine me, by pretending to pene­trate a Year deeper into Futurity; and giving his Readers gratis in his Almanack for 1743 an Eclipse of the Year 1744, to be beforehand with me: His Words are, ‘The first Day of April next Year 1744, there will be a GREAT ECLIPSE of the Sun; it begins about an Hour before Sunset. It being in the Sign Aries, the House of Mars, and in the 7th. shows Heat, Difference and Ani­mosities between Persons of the highest Rank and Quality,’ &c I am very glad, for the Sake of these Persons of Rank and Quality, that there is no manner of Truth in this Prediction: They may, if they please, live in Love and Peace. And I caution his Readers (they are but few, indeed, and so the Matter's the less) not to give themselves any Trouble about observing this imaginary Great Eclipse; for they may stare till they're blind with­out seeing the least Sign of it. I might, on this Occasion, return Mr. I—n the Name of Baal's false Prophet he gave me some Years ago in his Wrath, on Account of my Predicting his Reconciliation with the Church of Rome, (tho' he seems now to have given up that Point) but I think such Language between old Men and Scholars unbecoming; and I leave him to settle the Affair with the Buyers of [Page] his Alma [...]ack as well as he can, who perhaps will not take it very kindly, that he has done what in him lay (by sending them out to gaze at an invisible Eclipse on the first of April) to make April Fools of them all. His old thread bare Excuse which he repeats Year after Year about the Weather, ‘That no Man can be infallible therein, by Reason of the many contrary Causes happening at or near the same time, and the Unconstancy of the Sum­mer Showers and Gusts,’ &c. will hardly serve him in the Affair of Eclipses; and I know not where he'll get another.

I have made no Alteration in my usual Method, except adding the Rising and Setting of the Planets, and the Lunar Conjunctions. Those who are so disposed, may thereby very readily learn to know the Planets, and distinguish them from each other.

I am, dear Reader,
Thy obliged Friend, R. SAUNDERS.

The COUNTRY MAN.

Happy the Man whose Wish and Care
A few paternal Acres bound,
Content to breathe his native Air,
In his own Ground.
Whose Herds with Milk, [...]ose Fields with Bread,
Whose Flocks supply him with Attire,
Whose Trees in Summer yield him Shade,
In Winter Fire.
Blest, who can unconcernedly find
Hours, Days and Years slide soft away,
In Health of Body, Peace of Mind,
Quiet by Day,
Sound Sleep by Night; Study and Ease
Together mixt; sweet Recreation;
And Innocence which most does please
with Meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown,
Thus unlamented let me die,
Steal from the World, and not a Stone
Tell where I lie.

Explanation of this ALMANACK.

THE first Column shews the Days of the Month The second shews the Week days, Sunday Letter this Year being AG.

The third contains the Days observ'd by the Church, the Aspects of the Planets and Judgments of the Weather, the Length, Increase and Decrease of Days, the rising and setting of the seven Stars, &c.

The fourth is the Time of High Water at Phi­l [...]delphia. (h) signifies ha [...] a [...] [...] after.

The fifth is the Moon's Place.

The sixth is the Sun's rising and setting, th [...]s un­derstood; Against the second Day of Ianuary you see in the 6th Column these Figures 7 17 5, which show that the S [...]n rises that Day 17 Minutes after 7, a [...]d sets 17 Minutes before 5. I have chose to put the Sun's rising and setting for every Day, rather than the Moon's, because of its constant Use in setting of Clocks and Watches.

In the last Column, with the Changes of the Moon, I have put her rising and setting every now and then: If you want to know her rising or setting on any Day between those against which I have set it, the common Rule of three Quarters of an hour later each Day, will be exact enough to direct Peo­ple in their Travelling, which is the common Use that is made of it.

Profitable Observation [...] and Notes.

ALL Measures of Longitude are deduced from Barley co [...]ns: Three Barley co [...]ns make an Inch, 12 Inches a Foot, 3 Feet a Yard, 5 Yards and an half one Pole or Perch, 40 Perches make a Fur­long, 8 Furlong [...] make a Mile, in a Mile are 320 Perches or Poles, 1066 Paces, 1408 Ells, 1760 Yards, 5280 Fee [...]; 6336 [...] Inches; 190080 Barley-co [...]ns

The Circumference of the Earth and Sea jointly us 250 [...]6 Miles, and the Diameter [...]6 Miles, a [...] its Semidiameter 3983 Miles, according to Englis [...] Mensuration.

ECLIPSES 1744.

THIS Year there will be four Eclipses, two of the Sun and two of the Moon; but nei­ther of them will be visi [...]le here.

The First is an Eclipse of the Sun, the first Day of April, at Five in the Afternoon; but the Moon's Latitude being 38 m. 42 sec. South, and al [...]ne, without the Parral [...], g [...]eater than the Semidiameter of the Penumbra, [...]1 m. 39 [...]ec. It cannot be seen in this Pa [...]t of the World.

The Second is a [...] Eclipse of the Moon, on April the 15th, at three in the Afternoon, therefore in­visible here; but will be visible almost over all Eur [...]pe, Asia, and A [...]rica; about 8 Digits when greatest.

COURTS.

Two trav'ling Beggar [...], (I've forgot their Name)
On O [...]ster found to which they both laid Clai [...].
Warm the Dispute! At length to Law they'd go,
As richer Fools for Trifles often do.
The Cause [...]wo [...]etty-soggers undertake,
Resolving right or wrong some Gain to make.
They jangle till the Court this Judgment gave,
Determining what every one should have.
Blind Plai [...]iff, lame De [...]end [...]nt, [...]
The friendly Law's impartial Care:
A Shell [...]or him, a Shell for thee;
The MIDDLE's Bench and Lawyer's Fee.
