- Notes: Copies of Poor Richard alamanacs have become increasingly scarce on the market. Franklin's preface to this almanac shows his usual wit: "I know gentle Readers that many of you always expect a Preface, and think yourselves slighted if that's omitted. So here you have it and much good may't do ye... You think however that 'tis big enough o' Conscience, for any matter of good that's in it -- I think so too if it fills the page..." Evans 7003; Miller 570; Campbell 510; Church 990.
