Philadelphia: Published by Elijah Weaver, 1839. [45] of 47pp. plus [1]p. of advertisements. Lacks pp.43-44. Dbd. Lacking wrappers. Marginal tear lower gutter of first leaf (no loss of text); pp.43-44 torn out (resulting in two-inch tear to pp.45- 46). Slight foxing on p.1, heavier foxing on last page. Good only, lacking a leaf of text. An issue of the relatively uncommon FRIENDS' ALMANAC, started by Joseph Foulke in 1831 and continuing until 1879. As the title suggests, it was published for Friends in the greater Pennsylvania region, providing the regular astronomical and tidal data, as well as verses from scripture and edifying passages from history and literature. This issue includes an excerpt from Samuel Smith's THE HISTORY OF THE COLONY OF NOVA-CAESARIA, OR NEW-JERSEY... confirming that Native Americans do, in fact, have a concept of a supreme being. Foulke also includes "an account of the time of holding all the Meetings of Friends, on the Continent of America." Appropriately, the page torn out is from this section, the user needing more portable information for a meeting somewhere between Smithfield, Oh. and Baltimore. Foulke (1786-1863) was a prominent Friend and Recorded Minister in Gwynedd, Pa. In addition to publishing the almanac, he was also a teacher, having started the Gwynedd Boarding School for Boys with his brother, Daniel, in 1818. Foulke was also active in the anti-slavery movement, and lobbied Congress against admitting Arkansas as a slave state. DRAKE 12144.
