Additional Details

The 16 December calendar entry commemorates the very recent Boston Tea Party: "East India Tea destroy'd in Boston 1773." An unusually scarce Hartford reprint of the long-running Boston almanac. Drake 287 records only one example, in a private collection; none are shown in ESTC, but the American Antiquarian Society does hold another example.
