Old Poor Robin : 1777. An almanack after the old; yet nevertheless as agreeable as Head and Hands can make it to the newest new fashion, &c. Or, a new Edition of an old Almanack: wherein thou, O Reader, (if that thou canst but Read) Art sure to find Abundance and plenty of matters most dainty; Well worthy of thy utmost Attention, careful Observation, and highest Approbation. Containing a two-fold Calendar; Viz. The good, new, true, downright, upright, honest and punctual English Account; and also the whimsey-headed, sap-scull'd, fantastical Account of sorry Saints, and sad Sinners, even from the Beginning of this Year, unto the latter End of the same. Written by old honest Poor Robin, a worthy Knight of the Burnt-Island; and an hearty Well-Wisher to the Mathematics. And the First after Leap-Year; also the Twenty-Fifth of the New-Style.
