Contemporary sheep, somewhat worn and loose, tear to upper right corner of title page with loss to the number 1 in 1711, some interleaves torn with loss. Pagination [40], plus approximately 19 manuscript pages (not including blanks). This rare almanac "for the Benefit of Farmers" has been annotated by "James Alders", apparently an Essex farmer. He records numerous payments (wages, supplies "payed him for ye hopps" and services "six shillings for ye hire of two horses to Cambridge") and receipts (mostly rents), as well as records of his comings and goings ("March 12th I went to London &came downe ye 20th"), various agricultural notes ("I began to sow y wheat Sept: 28 & ended Octob: 2. I sowed four bushells of Reuit & four of Kentish"; "I had 20 pound of cheese of ye W. Kirkew"; "My bigest Pigg weighed 110lb"), and laconic notes on life and death (March ye 16 1710 The biggest Cow calved cow calf "; "May ye 30th 1711 The Least cow calved a Bull Cafe & dyed June ye 1st")."
