72pp. An almanac with calendar organized according to the rubric of the French Republican calendar, which was instituted as a means of removing the royalist and religious aspects of daily democratic life. Each of the twelve months were divided into an even thirty days, which naturally led to issues with leap years and days, a vexation especially obvious in almanacs which offered a comparative calendar of both calendar standards, as here. An introductory series of twelve lyrics, each with a facing engravings, leads into moral and social advice for young women and men (divided accordingly). The French Revolution hence presents itself here as practical, lively, morally upright, and socially advantageous. Bound in plain wrappers, held loose in engraved chemise and slid into likewise engraved slipcase. Light rubs to wrapper, soiling from where it has been pulled from the slipcase, which itself is modestly rubbed. Very good+. Only two copies recorded in OCLC. (2 1/8 by 1 3/8 in.)
