Poor Robin : 1690. An almanack of the old and new fashion. Wherein the reader may see (if he put on a pair of understanding spectacles) many remarkable things worthy of his choicest observation. Containing a twofold kalendar; viz. the Julian, English, or old account, and the roundheads, fanaticks, paper-scull'd, or maggot-headed new account, with their several saints-days, and observations upon every month. Being the second after bissextile or leap-year. Written by Poor Robin, knight of the Burnt-Island, a well-willer to the mathematicks.
