The usual matter on

Almanacks are of this sort is frequently
kept in a wooden frame
like a print.

&c on wood.

But in this case
it may care must be
taken that his work
when published may not
be exposed to the charge of
plagiarism.
It may perhaps be better not
to mention his name: for
fear of deterring Church of
Englandists and other religionists
from taking in the Almanack.
But the purpose may be
answered by the notion
that it comes from an
author as yet unknown
whose work sooner or later will be published.
