was calculated for the years 1915,
1894 and 1913" In Budapest it was
published. Though it simply made men,
ton Of eclipses and the places Of the
planets for the respective years, it was
sold for 10 crowns Of gold, and the en-
tire impression was rapidly disposed Of
In Hungary, Germany, Italy, England
and France.
The first almanac-recorded as the
arst-known to have been printed in
England was translated from the
French and appeared in 1897. Each
month introduces itself in descriptive
verse, as:
| Called I am Janeryere, the colde.
