Friends' Almanac For The Year 1836; Being Leap Year

By Joseph Foulke

Step into 1836 and feel the year turn. Small book, vast usable horizon. Joseph Foulke's Friends' Almanac For The Year 1836; Being Leap Year is an annual almanac booklet made for everyday use: a vintage pocket almanac that marries practical timekeeping with the rhythms of Quaker life. Inside are leap year calendar tables, an 1836 leap year calendar laid out for quick reference, alongside astronomical ephemeris tables that track the sun, moon, and seasons with the calm authority of early American print culture. It is also a Quaker religious calendar, noting observances and meetings that shaped communities across the 1830s American almanac landscape. For modern readers it doubles as a genealogy reference calendar, helping you place an ancestor's diary entry, a marriage date, or a migration route in its proper temporal frame. Historically, Friends' Almanac stands at the intersection of science, faith, and commerce, a working tool that quietly records how people organised knowledge before mass media. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are one of the local history researchers chasing regional detail, or you collect early American timepieces on paper like old farmers almanac collectors and poor richards almanack collectors, this historical almanac reprint offers a precise, tactile guide through the year 1836. Keep it beside a journal, or consult it when reading newspapers and records from the era.
