Abstract
A close look at "The Perpetual Almanack; Or, Gentleman Soldier’s Prayer Book" (circa 1837-38), and Edward Waite’s "The Washington Directory, and Congressional, and Executive Register, for 1850" prompts a couple of questions - (1) what is an almanac? and (2) where do Supreme Court Justices work and live, or where did they in the mid-19th century? - and invites a couple of answers.
