BICKERSTAFF'S BOSTON ALMANACK, FOR THE YEAR OF OUR REDEMPTION, 1777.... Revolutionary-era Boston almanac, containing a brief biography and portrait of John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress. It also includes a listing of the "Roads to the principal towns on the continent, &c. from Boston: with the names of those who keep houses of entertainment." "Attributed by Evans to Ezra Gleason. However, the eclipse notes and the calendar pages are identical in content and typography with those in AN ALMANACK FOR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, 1777, by Daniel George (Boston: Draper & Phillips), except that the verse headings differ at the top of the calendar pages and a few changes appear in the text....Since both almanacs are clearly by George, being identical apart from these few slight variations, one or the other is evidently a revised issue" - NAIP.
