Details

The “Pocket” size (32mo) of the official Calendar was started in 1815 by Grand Lodge of England (issued in 1814), of which only one copy has been recognised of late years. A complete set cannot be obtained at any price, and the early copies are most difficult to secure. 1816 seems to have wholly disappeared. All old almanacks and calendars, &c., seem to go “no one knows where,” and after a few years are practically unobtainable. The same remark applies to newspapers generally.
