24]pp. (12mo) 17.2x10.7 cm (6¾x4¼”), bound with string. An almanac by Nathaniel Ames, son of Dr. Nathaniel Ames who started a popular and highly regarded almanac in 1726. One of two impressions from Boston for 1774. Ames continued writing the almanac after his father died in 1764 until the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Ames was a successful doctor, ardent Anti-Federalist and local politician. Ames continues his essay on vineyards with a two page essay on when best to pick grapes. This is part of Ames' continuing effort to strengthen the colonies' economic independence without estranging Britain; he comments in this essay that "it is very unlikely that we shall be so blind to our interests as to take that work out of the hands of Britains & Hybernians, which they will do much cheaper and better than we can get ourselves."
