PREFACE.
THE present number, which is the second of this edition of POOR RICHARD'S
ALMANAC, contains the editorial matter of FRANKLIN for the years 1736,
1737, and 1738, and the continuation of the autobiography of the DOCTOR,
commenced in our first number, which, with the editorials and advice
of POOR RICHARD, will be continued from year to year, until both are
completed.
We subjoin a list of the names of those gentlemen, which, for want of
space, was excluded from our first issue, to whom we are indebted for
much of that success which has attended our efforts to obtain a complete
set of POOR RICHARD.

NOTES TO THE READER.
The Calendar page in this Almanac is adapted for use in every part of the United States.
It is based on the fact, that in the same Latitude, that is, on a line running due east and
west, the Sun and Moon rise and set at the same moment by the clock or almanac, not
only throughout the United States, but around the world—the variations being so small as to
be of no importance for ordinary purposes. Thus, if on any day the Sun rises at Boston at 5
minutes past 6, it rises at 5 minutes past 6 on the same line of latitude westward throughout
the states of Massachusetts, New York, Michigan, Iowa, and Oregon.
Hence, a Calendar adapted to Boston for New England, is equally adapted, as to the rising
and setting of the Sun and Moon, for use in Northern New York and Michigan; a Calendar
for New York city is adapted for use in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois;
8
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK
■ Calendar for Baltimore is adapted for Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri; and a Calendar
for Charleston will answer for North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana.
Wherever the reader is, look for the state at the top of the Calendar page, and underneath are
the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes.
The changes, fulls, and quarters of the Moon, however, are governed by another prin-
ciple, and are essentially the same for all places on the same Longitude; that is, on any
line extending due north and south. Thus, the Moon's phases for Charleston, suit Pitts-
burgh, etc. Any phasis takes place at the same instant of absolute time; but the local time
is earlier at the westward, and later at the eastward, at the rate of four minutes for each
degree of Longitude; or at the rate of one minute for every 12 miles 273 rods in the lati-
tude of Boston; 13 miles 60 rods in the latitude of New York city; 13 miles 143 rods in the
latitude of Baltimore; and 14 miles 199 rods in the latitude of Charleston.

POOR RICHARD FOR 1736.
PREFACE.
LOVING READERS,
Your kind acceptance of my former labours has encouraged me to continue
writing, tho' the general approbation you have been so good as to favour me with,
has excited the envy of some, and drawn upon me the malice of others. These ill-
willers of mine, despited at the great reputation I gain'd by exactly predicting
another man's death, have endeavoured to deprive me of it all at once in the most
effectual manner, by reporting that I myself was never alive. They say, in short,
that there is no such a man as I am; and have spread this notion so thoroughly in
the country, that I have been frequently told it to my face by those that don't
know me. This is not civil treatment, to endeavour to deprive me of my very being,
and reduce me to a non-entity in the opinion of the publick. But so long as I
know myself to walk about, eat, drink and sleep, I am satisfied that there is really
such a man as I am, whatever they may say to the contrary. And the world may
be satisfied likewise, for if there was no such man as I am, how is it possible I
should appear publickly to hundreds of people, as I have done for several years
past, in print? I need not, indeed, have taken any notice of so idle a report, if it
had not been for the sake of my printer, to whom my enemies are pleased to as-
cribe my productions; and who it seems is as unwillingly to father my offspring
as I am to lose the credit of it. Therefore, to clear him entirely, as well as to vin-
dicate my own honour, I make this publick and serious declaration, which I desire
may be believed, to wit: That what I have written heretofore, and do now write,
neither was, nor is written by any other man or men, person or persons, whatsoever.
Those who are not satisfied with this, must needs be very unreasonable.
My performance for this year follows; it submits itself, kind reader, to thy cen-
sure, but hopes (for) thy candor, to forgive its faults. It devotes itself entirely to
thy service, and will serve thee faithfully. And if it has the good fortune to please
its master, 'tis gratification enough for the labour of
poor
R. SAUNDERS.
22
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.
FOLLOWING THE PLANET'S MOTIONS, IS THE FOLLOWING:
Presumptuous man! the reason would'st thou find
Why formed so weak, so little, and so blind?
First, if thou canst, the harder reason guess,
Why formed no weaker, blinder, and no less?
Ask of thy mother earth, why oaks are made
Taller or stronger than the weeds they shade?
Or ask of yonder argent fields above,
Why Jove's sattelites are less than Jove?
POETRY FOR JANUARY.
Some have learn't many tricks of sly evasion,
Instead of truth they use equivocation,
And eke it out with mental reservation,
Which, to good men, is an abomination.
Our smith of late most wonderfully swore,
That whilst he breathed he would drink no more,
But since, I know his meaning, for I think
He meant he would not breathe whilst he did drink
MAXIMS.
He is no clown that drives the plow, but he that doth clownish things.
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's-stone
The good pay-master is lord of another man's purse
Fish and visiters smell in three days.
POETRY FOR FEBRUARY.
Sam's wife provok'd him once; he broke her crown,
The surgeon's bill amounted to five pounds;
This blow (she brags) has cost my husband dear,
He'll ne'er strike more, Sam chanc'd to overhear.
Therefore, before his wife the bill he pays,
And to the surgeon in her hearing, says:
Doctor, you charge five pound, here e'en take ten,
My wife may chance to want your help again.
MAXIMS.
He that has neither fools nor beggars among his kindred, is the son of
thunder-gust.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
Do not do that which you would not have known.
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.
23
POETRY FOR MARCH.
Whate'er's desired, knowledge, fame, or pelf,
Not one will change his neighbour with himself;
The learn'd are happy nature to explore,
The fool is happy that he knows no more.
The rich are happy in the plenty given;
The poor contents him with the care of heaven.
Thus does some comfort ev'ry state attend,
And pride's bestowed on all, a common friend.
MAXIMS.
Never praise your cider or horse.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
'Tis easy to see, hard to foresee.
In a discreet man's mouth a publick thing is private.
POETRY FOR APRIL.
By nought is man from beast distinguished,
More than by knowledge in his learned head,
Then youth improve thy time, but cautious see
That what thou learnest somehow useful be;
Each day improving, Solon waxed old;
For time he knew was better far than gold:
Fortune might give him gold which would decay,
But fortune cannot give him-yesterday.
MAXIMS.
Let thy maid-servant be faithful, strong, and homely.
Keep flax from fire, youth from gaming.
Bargaining has neither friends nor relations.
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
There's more old drunkards, than old doctors.
POETRY FOR MAY.
Lalus who loves to hear himself discourse,
Keeps talking still as if he frantick were,
And tho' himself might no where hear a worse,
Yet he no other but himself will hear.
Stop not his mouth, if he be troublesome,
But stop his ears, and then the man is dumb.
24
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.
MAXIMS.
Here comes Courage! that seized the lion absent, and run away from the present
mouse.
He that takes a wife takes care.
Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.
He that buys by the penny, maintains not only himself, but other people.
POETRY FOR JUNE.
Things that are bitter, bitterer than gall,
Physicians say are always physical :
Now women's tongues if into powder beaten,
May in a portion or a pill be eaten,
And as there's nought more bitter, I do muse,
That women's tongues in physick they ne'er use.
Myself and others who lead restless lives,
Would spare that bitter member of our wives.
MAXIMS.
He that can have patience can have what he will.
Now I have a sheep and a cow, every body bids me good morrow.
God helps them that help themselves.
Why does the blind man's wife paint herself?
POETRY FOR JULY.
Who can charge Ebrio with a thirst of wealth?
See, he consumes his money, time, and health
In drunken frolicks, which will all confound,
Neglects his farm, forgets to till his ground;
His stock grows less that might be kept with ease;
In nought but guts and debts he finds increase;
In town reels as if he'd shove down each wall,
Yet walls must stand, poor soul, or he must fall.
MAXIMS.
None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Gifts burst rocks.
If wind blows on you through a hole,
Make your will and take care of your soul
The rotten apple spoils his companion.

POETRY FOR AUGUST.
The tongue was once a servant of the heart,
And what it gave she freely did impart;
But, now hypocrisy is grown so strong,
The heart's become a servant to the tongue.
Virtue we praise, but practice not her good,
(Athenian-like) we act not what we know,
As many men do talk of Robin Hood,
Who never did shoot arrow in his bow.

Don't throw stones at your neighbors', if your own windows are glass.
The excellency of hogs is-fatness, of men-virtue.
Good wives and good plantations are made by good husbands.
He that sells upon trust, loses many friends, and always wants money.
POETRY FOR SEPTEMBER.
Briscap, thou'st little judgement in thy head
More than to dress thee, drink and go to bed;
Yet thou shalt have the wall and the way lead,
Since logick wills that simple things preceed.
Walking and meeting one not long ago,
I ask'd who 'twas, he said, he did not know,
I said, I know thee; so said he, I you;
But he that knows himself I never knew.

Lovers, travellers, and poets, will give money to be heard.
He that speaks much, is much mistaken.
Creditors have better memories than debtors.

Whymsical Will once fancy'd he was ill,
The Doctor call'd, who thus examin'd Will;
How is your appetite? O, as to that
I eat right heartily, you see I'm fat;

I eat, drink, sleep, as well as e'er I cou'd.

I'll give you something shall remove all that.

Three things are men most likely to be cheated in, a horse, a wig, and a wife.

He that scatters thorns, let him not go barefoot.
There's none deceived but he that trusts.

When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the
first place; what experience tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place;
what reason (i. e. Theory,) says is best, is to be chosen in the last place. But if you
can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Experience, and Dr. Reason to hold a consultation
together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken.

In my last year's Almanack, I mentioned that the visible Eclipses of this year
1736, portended some great and surprising events relating to these NORTHERN
COLONIES, of which I proposed this year to speak at large. But as those events are
not to happen immediately this year, I chuse rather, upon second thought, to defer
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.
27
farther mention of them, till the publication of my Almanack for that year in
which they are to happen. However, that the reader may not be entirely disappointed,
here follow, for his present amusement, a few
ENIGMATICAL PROPHECIES,
Which they that do not understand, cannot well explain.
1. Before the middle of this year, a wind at N. East will arise, during which
the water of the sea and rivers will be in such a manner raised, that great part
of the towns of Boston, Newport, New-York, Philadelphia, the low lands of
Maryland and Virginia, and the town of Charleston in South Carolina will be
under water. Happy will it be for the sugar and salt, standing in the cellars of
those places, if there be tight roofs and cielings overhead; otherwise without being
a Conjurer, a man may easily foretel that such commodities will receive damage.
2. About the middle of the year, great number of vessels fully laden, will be
taken out of the ports aforesaid, by a power with which we are not now at war,
and whose forces shall not be descried or seen, either coming or going. But in
the end this may not be disadvantageous to those places.
3. However, not long after, a visible Army of 20,000 Musketers will land, some
in Virginia and Maryland, and some in the lower counties on both sides of Delaware,
who will over-run the country, and sorely annoy the inhabitants: But the air in
this climate will agree with them so ill towards winter, that they will die in the
beginning of cold weather like rotten sheep, and by Christmas the inhabitants will
get the better of them.
Note,-In my next Almanack these Enigmatical Prophecies will be explained.
AFTER A LIST OF COURTS IS THE FOLLOWING:
For gratitude there's none exceed 'em,
(Their clients know this when they bleed 'em,)
Since they who give most for their laws,
Have most return'd, and carry th' Cause.
All know, except an arrant Tory,
That Right and Wrong 's meer Ceremony,
It is enough that the law jargon,
Gives the best bidder the best bargain.

PREFACE.
COURTEOUS AND KIND READER,
This is the fifth time I have appeared in publick, chalking out the future year
for my honest countrymen, and foretelling what shall, and what may, and what
may not come to pass; in which I have the pleasure to find that I have given
general satisfaction. Indeed, among the multitude of our astrological predictions,
'tis no wonder if some few fail; for, without any defect in the art itself, 'tis well
known that a small error, a single wrong figure overseen in a calculation, may
occasion great mistakes: But, however, we Almanack-makers may miss it in other
things, I believe it will generally be allowed that we always hit the day of the
month, and that I suppose is esteem'd one of the most useful things in an Almanack.
As to the weather, if I was to fall into the method my brother Jn some-
times uses, and tell you, Snow here, or in New-England,-Rain here, or in South
Carolina,-Cold to the northward,-- Warm to the southward, and the like, whatever
errors I might commit, I should be something more secure of not being detected in
them: But I consider it will be of no service to any body to know what weather
it is 1000 miles off, and therefore I always set down positively what weather my
reader will have, be he where he will at the time. We modestly desire only the
favourable allowance of a day or two before, and a day or two after the precise day
against which the weather is set ;—and if it does not come to pass accordingly, let
the fault be laid upon the printer, who, 'tis very like, may have transposed or
misplac'd it, perhaps for the conveniency of putting in his holidays: and since, in
spight of all I can say, people will give him great part of the credit of making my
Almanacks, 'tis but reasonable he should take some share of the blame.
I must not here omit to thank the publick for the gracious and kind encourage-
ment they have hitherto given me :--But if the generous purchaser of my labours
could see how often his Fi'pence helps to light up the comfortable fire, line the pot,
fill the cup and make glad the heart of a poor man, and an honest good old woman,
he would not think his money ill laid out, though the Almanack of his friend and
servant,
were one half blank paper,
R. SAUNDERS,
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.

HINTS TO THOSE THAT WOULD BE RICH.
The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money.
For 6£ a year you may have use of 100£, if you are a man of known prudence
and honesty.
He that spends a groat a-day idly, spends idly above 6£ a year, which is the
price of using 100£.
He that wastes idly a groat's worth of his time per day, one day with another,
wastes the privilege of using 100£ each day.
He that idly loses 5s. worth of time, loses 5s., and might as prudently throw
5s. into the river.
He that loses 5s. not only loses that sum, but all the other advantage that
might be made by turning it in dealing, which, by the time a young man becomes
old, amounts to a comfortable bag of money.
Again, He that sells upon credit, asks a price for what he sells equivalent to
the principal and interest of his money for the time he is like to be kept out of
it ;-therefore,
He that buys upon credit pays interest for what he buys,
And he that pays ready money, might let that money out to use; so that
He that possesses anything he has bought, pays interest for the use of it.
Consider then, when you are tempted to buy any unnecessary household stuff,
or any superfluous thing, whether you will be willing to pay interest, and interest
upon interest for it as long as you live, and more if it grows worse by using.
Yet, in buying goods, 'tis best to pay ready money, because,
He that sells upon credit, expects to lose 5 per cent. by bad debts; therefore
he charges on all he sells upon credit, an advance that shall make up that de-
ficiency.
Those who pay for what they buy upon credit, pay their share of this advance.
He that pays ready money, escapes, or may escape, that charge.
A penny saved is two pence clear. A pin a-day is a groat a-year. Save
and have.
Every little makes a mickle.
POETRY FOR JANUARY.
God offer'd to the Jews salvation,
And 'twas refus'd by half the nation:
Thus (tho' 'tis life's great preservation,)
Many oppose innoculation.
We're told by one of the black robe,
The devil innoculated Job:
Suppose 'tis true, what he does tell;
Pray, neighbours, did not Job do well?

The master-piece of man, is to live to the purpose.
He that steals the old man's supper do's him no wrong.
POETRY FOR FEBRUARY.
The Thracian infant, entering into life,
Both parents mourn for, both receive with grief;
The Thracian infant snatched by Death away,
Both parents to the grave with joy convey.
This Greece and Rome you with derision view,
This is meer Thracian ignorance to you;
But if you weigh the custom you despise,
This Thracian ignorance may teach the wise.
MAXIMS.
A countryman between two lawyers, is like a fish between two cats.
He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
The miser's cheese is wholesomest.
POETRY FOR MARCH.
Doris a widow past her prime,
Her spouse long dead, her wailing doubles;
Her real griefs increase by time;
What might abate, improves her troubles.
Those pangs her prudent hopes supprest,
Impatient now she cannot smother,
How should the helpless woman rest?
One's gone ;-nor can she get another.
MAXIMS.
Love and Lordship hate companions.
The nearest way to come at glory, is to do that for conscience which we do for
glory.
There is much money given to be laught at, though the purchasers don't know it;
witness A's fine horse, and B's fine house.
POETRY FOR APRIL.
A nymph and a swain to Apollo once prayed,
The swain had been jilted, the nymph been betray'd;
They came for to try if his oracle knew,
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.
31
E'er a nymph that was chaste, or a swain that was true.
Apollo stood mute, and had like t' have been pos'd,
At length he thus sagely the question disclos'd;
He alone may be true in whom none will confide,
And the nymph may be chaste that has never been try'd.
MAXIMS.
He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books.
Poor Dick eats like a well man, and drinks like a sick.
After crosses and losses, men grow humbler and wiser.
Love, cough, and a smoke, can't well be hid.
POETRY FOR MAY.
Rich Gripe does all his thoughts and cunning bend
T' increase that wealth he wants the soul to spend,
Poor Shifter does his whole contrivance set,
To spend that wealth he wants the sense to get
How happy would appear to each his fate,
Had Gripe his humour, or he Gripe's estate?
Kind fate and fortune, blend 'em if you can,
And of two wretches make one happy man.
MAXIMS.
Well done is better than well said.
Fine linnen, girls and gold so bright,
Chuse not to take by candle light.
He that can travel well a-foot, keeps a good horse.
There are no ugly loves, nor handsome prisons.
No better relation than a prudent and faithful friend.
POETRY FOR JUNE.
Boy, bring a bowl of china here,
Fill it with water cool and clear;
Decanter with Jamaica ripe,
And spoon of silver, clean and bright,
Sugar twice-fin'd in pieces cut,
Knife, sieve, and glass in order put,
Bring forth the fragrant fruit, and then
We'er happy till the clock strikes ten.

MAXIMS.
A traveller should have a hog's nose, deer's legs and an ass's back.
At the working man's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter.
A good lawyer, a bad neighbour.
POETRY FOR JULY.
Impudent Jack, who now lives by his shifts,
Borrowing of driblets, boldly begging gifts,
For twenty shillings lent him t'other day,
(By one who ne'er expected he would pay,)
On his friend's paper fain a note wou'd write;
His friend, as needless, did refuse it quite;
Paper was scarce, and 'twas too hard, it's true,
To part with cash, and lose his paper too.
MAXIMS.
Certainlie these things agree, the priest, the lawyer, and death, all three;
Death takes both the weak and the strong,
The lawyer takes from both right and wrong,
And the priest from the living and dead has his fee.
The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise.
POETRY FOR AUGUST.
On his death bed poor Lubin lies ;
His spouse is in despair;
With frequent sobs, and mutual cries
They both express their care.
A diff'rent cause, says parson Sly,
The same effect may give,
Poor Lubin fears that he shall die;
His wife that he may live.
MAXIMS.
Don't misinform your doctor nor your lawyer.
I never saw an oft-transplanted tree,
Nor yet an oft-removed family,
That throve so well as those that settled be.
POETRY FOR SEPTEMBER.
To-morrow you'll reform, you always cry;
In what far country does this morrow lie,
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.
33
That 'tis so mighty long ere it arrive?
Beyond the Indies does this morrow live?
'Tis so far-fetched, this morrow, that I fear
"Twill be both very old, and very dear.
Tomorrow I'll reform, the fool does say;
To-day itself's too late ;-the wise did yesterday.
MAXIMS.
Let the letter stay for the post, and not the post for the letter.
Three good meals a day is bad living.
'Tis better leave for an enemy at one's death, than beg of a friend in one's life.
To whom thy secret thou dost tell,
To him thy freedom thou dost sell.
POETRY FOR OCTOBER.
On T. T. who destroyed his Landlord's fine wood.
Indulgent nature to each kind bestows,
A secret instinct to discern its foes:
The goose, a silly bird, avoids the fox;
Lambs fly from wolves; and sailors steer from rocks;
A rogue the gallows, as his fate, forsees,
And bears the like antipathy to trees.
MAXIMS.
If you'd have a servant that you like, serve yourself.
He that pursues two hares at once, does not catch one and lets t'other go.
If you want a neat wife, chuse her on a Saturday.
If you have time, don't wait for time.
POETRY FOR NOVEMBER.
You say you'll spend five hundred pound,
The world and men to know,
And take a tour all Europe round,
Improving as you go.
Dear Sam, in search of other's sense,
Discover not your own;
But wisely double the expence,
That you may pass unknown,
34
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.
MAXIMS.
Tell a miser he's rich, and a woman she's old, you'll get no money of one, nor
kindness of t'other.
Don't go to the doctor with every distemper, nor to the lawyer with every quarrel,
nor to the pot for every thirst.
POETRY FOR DECEMBER.
Women are books, and men the readers be,
Who sometimes in those books erratas see;
Yet oft the reader's raptured with each line,
Fair print and paper, fraught with sense divine;
Tho' some, neglectful, seldom care to read,
And faithful wives no more than bibles heed.
Are women books? says Hodge, then would mine were
An Almanack, to change her every year.
MAXIMS.
The creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times.
The noblest question in the world is, What good may I do in it?
Nec sibi, sed toto, genitum se credere mundo.
Nothing so popular as goodness.
In my last I published some Enigmatical Prophecies, which I did not expect
any one would take for serious predictions. The explanation I promised follows,
viz:
1. The water of the sea and rivers is raised in vapours by the sun, is form'd
into clouds in the air, and thence descends in rain. Now when there is rain over-
head (which frequently happens when the wind is at N. E.) the cities and places on
the earth below, are certainly under water.
2. The power with which we were not then at war, but which, it was said, would
take many full laden vessels out of our ports before the end of the year, is the
WIND, whose forces also are not descried either coming or going.
3. The army which it was said would land in Virginia, Maryland, and the
lower counties on Delaware, were not Musketeers with guns on their shoulders
some expected; but their namesakes, in pronunciation, tho' truly spelt
Moschitos, arm'd only with a sharp sting. Every one knows they are fish before
they fly, being bred in the water; and therefore may properly be said to land
before they become generally troublesome.
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.

A WONDERFUL prophecy.
For January, 1737, whigh consists entirely of odd figures.
E'er of this odd odd year one month has roll'❜d,
What wonders, reader, shall the world behold!
Four kings with mighty force shall Albion's isle
Infest with wars and tumults for a-while;
Then some shall unexpected treasures gain,
While some mourn o'er an empty purse in vain:
And many a Christian's heart shall ake for fear,
When they the dreadful sound of trump shall hear.
Dead bones shall then be tumbled up and down,
In every city and in every town.
RATTLE-SNAKE HERB.

The Indians long made a secret of the herb they used in
curing the bite of that venomous reptile a Rattlesnake; I hope
it will be an acceptable service to these parts of the world, if I
make it publick by the following description, with the figure
of a leaf of it.
The top and branches of the plant, are thick set with
small yellow flowers in August and September. It is a species
of Golden-Rod, known from the other sorts by the smoothness
of the leaf, and its pungent taste, and occasioning when chewed
and swallow'd, a small stoppage of the breath, and contraction
in the thoat; and the stalk which is in some places less than
a yard in height when at full growth, in others more, is of a
dull purple colour, and smooth, and cover'd with a fine blue
dust, like that on many of the English plums. It grows in
most woodlands, but under the shade of trees is seldom rank
or large, or with more than one, two, or three stalks. It is
also found on the banks of dry ditches, and sometimes in them
and in hedge-rows. But it is most luxuriant near to run-sides,
if the soil be rich, and not too moist, nor too much shaded
The root continues over the winter, and if set in a good garden,
will send forth (in the 2d or 3d year,) at least 50 stalks.
The Indians use it variously; sometimes they bruise it
between stones, and sometimes chew it and spit in the patient's
mouth, some lay it to the wound, others about the wound, some-
times they boil it and give the water to drink, washing the
wound with it likewise; but always some of it is to be swal-
lowed, either with the spittle or with water.
The leaf figur'd in the margin is one of the largest; for the most part they are
not near so big though the shape be the same.
POOR RICHARD FOR 1738.
PREFACE BY MISTRESS SAUNDERS.
DEAR READERS,
My good man set out last week for Potowmack, to vist an old stargazer of his
acquaintance, and to see about a little place for us to settle and end our days on.
He left a copy of his Almanack seal'd up, and bid me send it to the press. I
suspected something, and therefor, as soon as he was gone, I open'd it, to see if he
had not been flinging some of his old skitts at me. Just as I thought, so it was.
And truly (for want of somewhat else to say, I suppose,) he had put into his
preface, that his wife Bridget was this, and that, and t'other. What a peasecods!
cannot I have a little fault or two, but all the country must see it in print! They
have already been told, at one time that I am proud, another time that I am loud,
and that I have got a new petticoat, and abundance of that kind of stuff; and now
forsooth! all the world must know, that poor Dick's wife has lately taken a fancy
to drink a little tea now and then. A mighty matter truly, to make a song of!
'Tis true I had a little tea of a present from the Printer last year; and what, must
a-body throw it away? In short, I thought the preface was not worth a-printing,
and so I fairly scratch'd it all out, and I believe you'll like our Almanack never the
worse for it.
Upon looking over the months, I see he has put in abundance of foul weather
this
year;
and therefor I have scattered here and there, where I could find room,
some fair, pleasant, sunshiny, &c., for the good women to dry their clothes in. If
it does not come to pass according to my desire, I have shown my goodwill, how-
ever; and I hope they'll take it in good part.
I had a design to make some other corrections; and particularly to change
some of the verses that I don't very well like; but I have just now unluckily broke
my spectacles; which obliges me to give it you as it is, and conclude.
Your loving friend,
BRIDGET SAUNDERS.
POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK.

UNDER THE HEAD OF FCLIPSES, APPEARS THE FOLLOWING:
You will excuse me dear readers, that I afford you no eclipses of the moon
this year.
The truth is, I do not find they do you any good.
When there is one you are apt in observing it to expose yourselves too much
and too long to the night air, whereby great numbers of you catch cold. Which
was the case last year, to my very great concern. However, if you will promise
to take more care of yourselves, you shall have a fine one to stare at the year after
next.
POETRY FOR JANUARY.
Dick's wife was sick, and pos'd the doctor's skill,
Who differ'd how to cure th' inveterate ill.
Purging the one prescribed. No, quoth another,
That will do neither good nor harm my brother,
Bleeding's the only way; t'was quick reply'd,
That's certain death; but e'en let Dick decide.
"I'se no great skill," quo' Richard, "by the Rood,
But I think bleeding's like to do most good."
MAXIMS.
There are three faithful friends —an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.
Great talkers should be crop'd, for they have no need of ears.
If you would have your shoes last, put no nails in 'em.
Who has deceiv'd thee so oft as thyself?
POETRY FOR FEBRUARY.
In Christendom we all are christians now,
And thus I answer, if you ask me how;
Where with Christ's rules our lives will not comply,
We bend it like a rule of lead, say I;
Making it thus comply with what we be,
And only thus our lives with th' rule agree.
But from our fathers we've the name perchance,
So as our king is called the king of France.

Is there anything men take more pains about than to make themselves unhappy
Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than
too much liberty, (or libertinism.)
Read much, but not too many books.

In an acre of land are 43,560 square feet.
In 100 acres are 4,356,000 square feet;
Twenty pounds will buy 100 acres of the proprietor.

Epitaph on a talkative Old Maid.
Beneath this silent stone is laid,
A noisy, antiquated maid,
Who, from her cradle talk'd 'till death,
And ne'er before was out of breath.
Whither she's gone we cannot tell;
For if she talks not, she's in
If she's in

she's there unblest
Because she hates a place of rest.

One month a lawyer, thou the next will be
A grave physician, and the third a priest:

On any one amiss thou can'st not fall;
Thou'lt end in nothing, if thou grasps at all.

If any man flatters me, I'll flatter him again, though he were my best friend.
POETRY FOR NOVEMBER.
A monster in a course of vice grown old,
Leaves to his gaping heir his ill gain'd gold;
The preacher fee'd, strait are his virtues shown;
And render'd lasting by the sculptur❜d stone.
If on the stone or sermon we rely,
Pity a worth like his, should ever die !
If credit to his real life we give,
Pity a wretch like him, should ever live.
MAXIMS.
Wish a miser long life, and you wish him no good.
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself
in an error.
Drive thy business;-let not that drive thee.
There is much difference between imitating a good man, and counterfeiting him.
POETRY FOR DECEMBER.
The wise man says, it is a wise man's part
To keep his tongue close prisoner in his heart.
If he then be a fool whose thought denies
There is a God, how desp'rately unwise,
How much more fool is he, whose language shall
Proclaim in public, there's no God at all:
What then are they, nay fools in what degree,
Whose actions shall maintain't?-Such fools are we.
MAXIMS.
Wink at small faults-remember thou hast great ones.
Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.
Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices.
Never spare the parson's wine, nor baker's pudding.
Each year one vicious habit rooted out,
In time might make the worst man good throughout.
Ready money for OLD RAGS may be had of the printer hereof; by whom is
made and sold very good LAMPBLACK.

MEMOIRS OF FRANKLIN.

There was another bookish lad in the town, John Collins by name,
with whom I was intimately acquainted. We sometimes disputed,
and very fond we were of argument, and very desirous of confuting
one another, which disputatious turn, by-the-way, is apt to become a
very bad habit, making people often extremely disagreeable in com-
pany by the contradiction that is necessary to bring it into practice;
and thence, besides souring and spoiling the conversation, it is pro-
ductive of disgusts, and perhaps enmities, with those who may have
occasion for friendship. I had caught this by reading my father's
books of disputes on religion. Persons of good sense, I have since
observed, seldom fall into it, except lawyers, university men, and,
generally, men of all sorts who have been bred at Edinburgh.
A question was once, some how or other, started between Collins
and me, on the propriety of educating the female sex in learning, and
their abilities for study. He was of opinion that it was improper, and
that they were naturally unequal to it. I took the contrary side,
perhaps a little for dispute's sake. He was naturally more eloquent,
having a greater plenty of words; and sometimes, as I thought, I
was vanquished more by his fluency than by the strength of his rea-
sons. As we parted without settling the point, and were not to see
one another again for some time, I sat down to put my arguments in
writing, which I copied fair and sent to him. He answered, and I
replied. Three or four letters on a side had passed, when my father
happened to find my papers and read them. Without entering into
the subject in dispute, he took occasion to talk to me about my man-
ner of writing; observed that, though I had the advantage of my
antagonist in correct spelling and pointing, (which he attributed to
the printing-house,) I fell far short in elegance of expression, in me-
thod, and in perspicuity, of which he convinced me by several
instances. I saw the justice of his remarks, and thence grew more
attentive to my manner of writing, and determined to endeavor to
improve my style.
About this time I met with an odd volume of the Spectator. I
had never before seen any of them. I bought it, read it over and
over, and was much delighted with it. I thought the writing excel-
lent, and wished, if possible, to imitate it. With that view I took
some of the papers, and, making short hints of the sentiments in each
46
MEMOIRS OF FRANKLIN.
sentence, laid them by a few days, and then, without looking at the
book, tried to complete the papers again, by expressing each hinted
sentiment at length, and as fully as it had been expressed before, in
any suitable words that should occur to me. Then I compared my
Spectator with the original, discovered some of my faults, and cor-
rected them. But I found I wanted a stock of words, or a readiness
in recollecting and using them, which I thought I should have ac-
quired before that time if I had gone on making verses; since the
continual search for words of the same import, but of different length,
to suit the measure, or of different sound for the rhyme, would have
laid me under a constant necessity of searching for variety, and also
have tended to fix that variety in my mind, and make me master of
it. Therefore I took some of the tales in the Spectator, and turned
them into verse; and, after a time, when I had pretty well forgotten
the prose, turned them back again. I also sometimes jumbled my
collection of hints into confusion, and after some weeks endeavored to
reduce them into the best order, before I began to form the full sen-
tences and complete the subject. This was to teach me method in
the arrangement of the thoughts. By comparing my work with the
original, I discovered many faults and corrected them; but I some-
times had the pleasure to fancy that, in particulars of small conse-
quence, I had been fortunate enough to improve the method or the
language, and this encouraged me to think that I might in time come
to be a tolerable English writer, of which I was extremely ambitious.
The time I allotted for writing exercises and for reading was at night,
or before work began in the morning, or on Sundays, when I contrived
to be in the printing-house, avoiding as much as I could the constant
attendance at public worship which my father used to exact from me
when I was under his care, and which I still continued to consider as
a duty, though I could not afford time to practice it.
When about sixteen years of age I happened to meet with a book,
written by one Tryon, recommending a vegetable diet. I determined
to go into it. My brother, being yet unmarried, did not keep house,
but boarded himself and his apprentices in another family. My refu-
sing to eat flesh occasioned an inconvenience, and I was frequently
chid for my singularity. I made myself acquainted with Tryon's
manner of preparing some of his dishes, such as boiling potatoes or
MEMOIRS OF FRANKLIN.
47
rice, making hasty pudding, and a few others, and then proposed to
my brother that if he would give me, weekly, half the money he paid
for my board, I would board myself. He instantly agreed to it, and
I presently found that I could save half what he paid me.
This was
an additional fund for buying of books. But I had another advantage
in it. My brother and the rest going from the printing house to their
meals, I remained there alone, and, despatching presently my light
repast, which was often no more than a biscuit or a slice of bread, a
handful of raisins, or a tart from the pastry-cook's, and a glass of
water, I had the rest of the time till their return for study, in
which I made the greater progress, from that clearness of head and
quicker apprehension which generally attend temperance in eating
and drinking.
Now it was that, being on some occasion made ashamed of my
ignorance in figures, which I had twice failed learning when at
school, I took Cocker's book on Arithmetic, and went through the
whole by myself with the greatest ease. I also read Seller's and
Sturny's book on Navigation, which made me acquainted with the
little geometry it contained; but I never proceeded far in that science.
I read about this time Locke on the Human Understanding, and the
Art of Thinking, by Messrs. du Port Royal.
While I was intent on improving my language, I met with an
English grammar (I think it was Greenwood's) having at the end of
it two little sketches on the arts of rhetoric and logic, the latter finish-
ing with a dispute in the Socratic method; and soon after I procured
Xenophon's Memorable Things of Socrates, wherein there are many
examples of the same method. I was charmed with it, adopted it,
dropped my abrupt contradiction and positive argumentation, and put
on the humble inquirer; and being then, from reading Shaftesbury
and Collins, made a doubter, as I already was in many points of our
religious doctrines, I found this method the safest for myself and very
embarrassing to those against whom I used it; therefore I took delight
în it, practiced it continually, and grew very artful and expert in
drawing people, even of superior knowledge, into concessions, the con-
sequences of which they did not foresee, entangling them in difficulties
out of which they could not extricate themselves, and so obtaining
victories that neither myself nor my cause always deserved. I con-
48
MEMOIRS OF FRANKLIN.
tinued this method some few years, but gradually left it, retaining
only the habit of expressing myself in terms of modest diffidence ;
never using, when I advanced any thing that might possibly be dis-
puted, the words certainly, undoubtedly, or any others that gave the
air of positiveness to an opinion; but rather said I conceive or appre-
hend a thing to be so and so; it appears to me, or I should not think
it so or so, for such and such reasons; or I imagine it to be so; or it
is so, if I am not mistaken. This habit, I believe, has been of great
advantage to me when I have had occasion to inculcate my opinions,
and persuade men into measures that I have been from time to time
engaged in promoting; and, as the chief ends of conversation are to
inform or to be informed, to please or to persuade, I wish well-
meaning and sensible men would not lessen their power of doing good
by a positive, assuming manner, that seldom fails to disgust, tends to
create opposition, and to defeat most of those purposes for which
speech was given to us.
In fact, if you wish to instruct others, a positive and dogmatical
manner in advancing your sentiments may occasion opposition and
prevent a candid attention. If you desire instruction and improve-
ment from others, you should not, at the same time, express yourself
fixed in your present opinions. Modest and sensible men, who do not
love disputation, will leave you undisturbed in the possession of your
errors. In adopting such a manner, you can seldom expect to please
your hearers, or obtain the concurrence you desire. Pope judiciously
observes,
"Men must be taught as if you taught them not,
And things unknown proposed as things forgot."
He also recommends it to us
"To speak, though sure, with seeming diffidence."
And he might have joined with this line that which he has coupled
with another, I think, less properly:
"For want of modesty is want of sense."
If you ask, Why less properly? I must repeat the lines :
"Immodest words admit of no defense,
For want of modesty is want of sense.”
Now, is not the want of sense (where a man is so unfortunate as to

51
want it) some apology for his want of modesty? and would not the
lines stand more justly thus?
"Immodest words admit but this defense,
That want of modesty is want of sense."
This, however, I should submit to better judgments.
My brother had, in 1720 or 1721, begun to print a newspaper.
It was the second* that appeared in America, and was called the
New England Courant. The only one before it was the Boston
News-Letter. I remember his being dissuaded by some of his friends
from the undertaking, as not likely to succeed, one newspaper being,
in their judgment, enough for America. At this time (1771) there
are not less than five-and-twenty. He went on, however, with the
undertaking. I was employed to carry the papers to the customers
after having worked in composing the types and printing off the sheets.
He had some ingenious men among his friends, who amused them-
selves by writing little pieces for this paper, which gained it credit
and made it more in demand, and these gentlemen often visited us.
Hearing their conversations, and their accounts of the approbation
their papers were received with, I was excited to try my hand among
them; but, being still a boy, and suspecting that my brother would
object to printing any thing of mine in his paper if he knew it to be
mine, I contrived to disguise my hand, and, writing an anonymous
paper, put it at night under the door of the printing-house. It was
found in the morning, and communicated to his writing friends when
they called in as usual. They read it, commented on it in my hear-
ing, and I had the exquisite pleasure of finding it met with thei
approbation, and that, in their different guesses at the author, none
were named but men of some character among us for learning and
* The Courant was the third paper published in Boston, and the fourth in
America. There were in Boston, prior to it, The Boston News-Letter, commenced
April 24, 1704; The Boston Gazette, commenced December 21, 1719; The New
England Courant being commenced August 7, 1721. The only paper out of
New England, prior to the Courant, was the American Weekly Mercury, com-
menced December 22, 1719, in Philadelphia.-Thomas' Hist. of Printing in
America.

ingenuity. I suppose that I was rather lucky in my judges, and that
they were not really so very good as I then believed them to be.
Encouraged, however, by this attempt, I wrote and sent in the
same way to the press several other pieces that were equally approved;
and I kept my secret till all my fund of sense for such performances
was exhausted, and then discovered it, when I began to be considered
a little more by my brother's acquaintance. However, that did not
quite please him, as he thought it tended to make me too vain. This
might be one occasion of the differences we began to have about this
time. Though a brother, he considered himself as my master, and
me as his apprentice, and, accordingly, expected the same services
from me as he would from another, while I thought he degraded me
too much in some he required of me, who from a brother expected
more indulgence. Our disputes were often brought before our father,
and I fancy I was either generally in the right, or else a better pleader,
because the judgment was generally in my favor. But my brother
was passionate, and had often beaten me, which I took extremely
amiss; and, thinking my apprenticeship very tedious, I was continu-
ally wishing for some opportunity of shortening it, which at length
offered in a manner unexpected. Perhaps the harsh and tyrannical
treatment of me might be a means of impressing me with the aver-
sion to arbitrary power that has stuck to me through my whole life.
One of the pieces in our newspaper on some political point, which
I have now forgotten, gave offense to the Assembly. He was taken
up, censured, and imprisoned for a month, by the speaker's warrant,
I suppose, because he would not discover the author. I too was
taken up and examined before the council; but, though I did not
give them any satisfaction, they contented themselves with admo-
nishing me, and dismissed me, considering me, perhaps, as an appren-
tice, who was bound to keep his master's secrets.
During my brother's confinement, which I resented a good deal,
notwithstanding our private differences, I had the management of the
paper; and I made bold to give our rulers some rubs in it, which my
brother took very kindly, while others began to consider me in an un-
favorable light, as a youth that had a turn for libeling and satire.
My brother's discharge was accompanied with an order, (and a very

odd one,) that "James Franklin should no longer print the newspaper
called the New England Courant.”
On a consultation held in our printing-office among his friends,
what he should do in this conjuncture, it was proposed to elude the
order by changing the name of the paper; but my brother, seeing
inconveniences in this, came to a conclusion, as a better way, to let
the paper in future be printed in the name of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ;
and, in order to avoid the censure of the Assembly, that might fall on
him as still printing it by his apprentice, he contrived and consented
that my old indenture should be returned to me, with a discharge on
the back of it, to show in case of necessity; and, in order to secure
to him the benefit of my service, I should sign new indentures for the
remainder of my time, which was to be kept private. A very flimsy
scheme it was; however, it was immediately executed, and the paper
was printed, accordingly, under my name, for several months.
At length, a fresh difference arising between my brother and me,
I took upon me to assert my freedom, presuming that he would not
venture to produce the new indentures. It was not fair in me to
take this advantage, and this I therefore reckon as one of the first
errata of my life; but the unfairness of it weighed little with me,
when under the impression of resentment for the blows his passion
too often urged him to bestow upon me, though he was otherwise not
an ill-natured man: perhaps I was too saucy and provoking.
When he found I would leave him, he took care to prevent my
getting employment in any other printing-house of the town, by going
round and speaking to every master, who accordingly refused to give
me work.
I then thought of going to New-York, as the nearest place
where there was a printer; and I was rather inclined to leave Boston
when I reflected that I had already made myself a little obnoxious to
the governing party, and, from the arbitrary proceedings of the As-
sembly in my brother's case, it was likely I might, if I stayed, soon
bring myself into scrapes; and, further, that my indiscreet disputa-
tions about religion began to make me pointed at with horror by good
people as an infidel and atheist. I concluded, therefore, to remove
to New-York; but my father now siding with my brother, I was
sensible that, if I attempted to go openly, means would be used to
prevent me. My friend Collins, therefore, undertook to manage my

flight. He agreed with the captain of a New-York sloop to take me,
under pretence of my being a young man of his acquaintance, that
had an intrigue with a girl of bad character, whose parents would
compel me to marry her, and that I could neither appear nor come
away publicly. I sold my books to raise a little money, was taken
on board the sloop privately, had a fair wind, and in three days found
myself at New-York, near three hundred miles from my home, at the
age of seventeen, (October, 1723,) without the least recommendation,
or knowledge of any person in the place, and very little money in my
pocket.

The inclination I had had for the sea was by this time done away,
or I might now have gratified it. But, having another profession, and
conceiving myself a pretty good workman, I offered my services to a
printer in the place, old Mr. William Bradford, who had been the first
printer in Pennsylvania, but had removed thence in consequence of a
quarrel with the governor, George Keith. He could give me no em-
ployment, having little to do, and hands enough already; but he said,
'My son at Philadelphia has lately lost his principal hand, Aquila
Rose, by death; if you go thither, I believe he may employ you."
Philadelphia was one hundred miles further; I set out, however, in a
boat for Amboy, leaving my chest and things to follow me round by
sea.
In crossing the bay, we met with a squall that tore our rotten
sails to pieces, prevented our getting into the Kill, and drove us upon
60
MEMOIRS OF FRANKLIN
Long Island.
In our way, a drunken Dutchman, who was a passen-
ger too, fell overboard; when he was sinking, I reached through the
water to his shock pate, and drew him up, so that we got him in
again. His ducking sobered him a little, and he went to sleep, taking
first out of his pocket a book, which he desired I would dry for him.
It proved to be my old favorite author, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress,
in Dutch, finely printed on good paper, copper cuts, a dress better than
I had ever seen it wear in its own language. I have since found that
it has been translated into most of the languages of Europe, and sup-
pose it has been more generally read than any other book, except
perhaps the Bible. Honest John was the first that I know of who
mixed narration and dialogue; a method of writing very engaging to
the reader, who in the most interesting parts finds himself, as it were,
admitted into the company and present at the conversation. De Foe
has imitated him successfully in his Robinson Crusoe, in his Moll
Flanders, and other pieces; and Richardson has done the same in
his Pamela, &c.
On approaching the island, we found it was in a place where
there could be no landing, there being a great surge on the stony
beach. So we dropped anchor, and swung out our cable toward the
shore. Some people came down to the shore, and hallooed to us, as
we did to them; but the wind was so high, and the surge so loud,
that we could not understand each other. There were some small
boats near the shore, and we made signs, and called to them to fetch
us; but they either did not comprehend us, or it was impracticable,
so they went off. Night approaching, we had no remedy but to have
patience till the wind abated; and, in the mean time, the boatman
and myself concluded to sleep, if we could; and so we crowded into
the hatches, where we joined the Dutchman, who was still wet, and
the spray, breaking over the head of our boat, leaked through to us,
so that we were soon almost as wet as he. In this manner we lay
all night, with very little rest; but, the wind abating the next day,
we made a shift to reach Amboy before night, having been thirty
hours on the water, without victuals, or any drink but a bottle of
filthy rum, the water we sailed on being salt.
In the evening I found myself very feverish, and went to bed;
but, having read somewhere that cold water drunk plentifully was
