Boston Almanac

The Boston Almanac was an almanac and business directory in 19th century Boston, Massachusetts. Its offices were destroyed in the Great Boston Fire of 1872.[1] The first almanac was published in 1836, and continued annually until at least 1894. Just about all editions contained a chronology of major events in Boston for the previous year or two years. Each almanac contained business listings, advertisements, and often city and/or state department information. Railroad, omnibus, and horse car companies were usually listed in a separate section. Some volumes highlighted famous buildings or places (such as Mount Auburn Cemetery).

gollark: I remember some people had made other browsers run on some Kindle versions, but they weren't much better.
gollark: It's *still* experimental? It's been at least four years and most of the UI is just a fancy browser anyway.
gollark: I find Kindle Unlimited really great because it means I can decide if I like a book without actually paying to.
gollark: They moved most of my unnecessary stuff into a pile right outside my door, so I now have to go to slightly more effort to walk outside.
