Poor Richard improved : being an almanack and ephemeris of the motions of the sun and moon : the true places and aspects of the planets : the rising and setting of the sun : and the rising, setting and southing of the moon, for the year of our Lord 1758 : being the second after leap-year : containing also, the lunations, conjunctions, eclipses, judgment of the weather, rising and setting of the planets, length of days and nights, fairs, courts, roads, &c : together with useful tables, chronological observations, and entertaining remarks : fitted to the latitude of forty degrees, and a meridian of near five hours west from London : but may, without sensible error, serve all the northern colonies
