Low, Nathanael:

AN ASTRONOMICAL DIARY; OR, ALMANACK FOR THE YEAR OF CHRISTIAN AERA, 1774.

Boston: Printed and Sold by J. Kneeland, in Milk-Street:- Sold also by the Printers & Booksellers, 1774 [i.e. 1773]. [24]pp, stitched, toned. Portrait of Oliver Cromwell on title page. Light wear, Very Good.

In this pre-Revolution Almanac, Low's printing of Cromwell's Speech dissolving Parliament is a not-too-subtle expression of American hostility to British Rule. "It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all Virtue, and defiled by your Practice of every Vice. Ye are a factious Crew, and Enemies to all good Government..."
