Description

The Every-day Book and Table Book. v. 2 (of 3) - or Everlasting Calendar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

Before remarking on the work terminating with this volume, some notice should be taken of its Frontispiece. I. The Clog or Perpetual Almanack having been in common use with our ancient ancestors, a representation and explanation of it seemed requisite among the various accounts of manners and customs related in the order of the calendar. Of the word clog, there is no satisfactory etymology in the sense here used, which signifies an almanack made upon a square stick. Dr. Robert Plot, who published the History of Staffordshire, in 1686, instances a variety of these old almanacks then in use in that county. Some he calls public, because they were of a large size, and commonly hung at one end of the mantle-tree of the chimney; others he calls private, because they were smaller, and carried in the pocket. For the better understanding of the figures on these clogs, he caused a family clog to be represented in plano, each angle of the square stick, with the moiety of each of the flat sides belonging to it, being expressed apart. From this clog, so represented in Dr. Plots history, the engraving is taken which forms the frontispiece now, on his authority, about to be described. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
