Edition Notes

The publisher's preface to the 1739 issue states that in 1738, in anticipation of his death, Leeds calculated almanacs "for seven years to come," i.e. 1739-1745. The statement is repeated in the present issue, signed W.B. and A.B. (William and Andrew Bradford)

The preface is followed by a supposed satiric letter from Leeds' spirit to Benjamin Franklin, the publisher of Poor Richard.
