Excerpt from For 1832, Or, a Complete Guide to the Almanack: Containing an Explanation of Saints' Days and Holidays; With Existing and Obsolete Rites and Customs, Sketches of Contemporary Biography, &C. &C.; Atsronomical Occurrences in Every Month; Comprising Remarks on the Phenomena of the Celestial Bodies; Notes
After enjoying an undiminished popularity during eighteen years, we enter into our nineteenth with some confidence, that our endeavours to keep pace with the rising spirit of the age, will be found deserving a continuance of public favour.
The first portion of the present volume contains the Remarkable Days, in which is given brief notices of all the Saints' Days in the Calendar; Sketches of the most prominent Characters who have died during the lost twelve months; and a variety of other amusing and instructive information.
The second division, containing the Astronomical Occurrences, occupy a larger space than usual, in consequence of the length of the treatise on Cometary Astronomy, which at this period must possess great interest from the expected appearance of two remarkable Comets in the course of the year.
