Bruce, Thank you for your explanation. > Here are some things you probably already know but I'll mention anyway: No, I did not, because I have never seen an old almanac. I only have a modern one. Frank refers to a 1804 almanac "available" on the Mystic Seaport page, but I am still unable to figure out how can one actually use these Mystic Seaport web "publications". (Maybe because I am not too good with computers. George once said, however, that he also cannot use them). The problems are thst a) one cannot print/download the whole document, only one page at a time, and b) this one page comes with "frames" which do not contain any useful information, the page (of the almanac itself) comes out so small in print that I can hardly read it. What is the point of such "publication" escapes me. > If you, or anyone else, > would like copies of other parts of the Almanacs to > work with, please let me know. Yes, I would like to have a copy of a part of an old almanac, containing enough pages to work with. Alex.
