Some of the couplets above the monthly calendars are explicitly patriotic. For March: "O sons of Freedom, never then give place / To threat'ning Tyrants, or a savage Race / Our Country calls; let virtue hail the Day / Immortalize your Names without delay." For the month of June, we are assured that "America is governed by Mars, Great Britain by Venus." Also includes a 3-page list of "officers of the Connecticut Troops who served in the Continental Army in the Campaign of 1775." Drake 306; Evans 14480.
