Hartford: Printed by Hudson and Goodwin, [1780]. 12mo. [24]pp. Stitched. Bit of corner wear, but text retained. Good+.

A rare Revolutionary-era Connecticut almanac. ESTC locates it only at AAS, NYHS, Beinecke, and Brigham Young University. NAIP notes two states of gathering A: this one has the imprint 'Hartford' in Roman type rather than italics, and begins page [2] with 'Astronomical Notes.'
The almanac features 'A Dialogue between Rusticus and Academicus,' much astronomical data, and a table of distances.
