Description

With Simpson’s almanac, its ruled pages invite the user not only to reference the information but also to record data himself much like the 1824 and 1825 volumes of Friendship’s Offering, another very successful literary annual. The ruled pages are not an invitation, however, to include creative writings – simply because of lack of space and the interference of astrological data, holidays, and important dates on the page. (from Harris' Forget Me Not: The Rise of the British Literary Annual)
