Open the desk of 1840 and the nation speaks in numbers, dates, and daylight. A year, mapped in print. Charles Frederick Egelmann's The United States Almanac, For The Year Of Our Lord 1840 gathers the practical machinery of daily life: an 1840 calendar and events set beside astronomical tables ephemeris, and the kind of civic data that once sat in every office and parlour. Made for quick consultation, it rewards browsing: seasonal timings, the motion of sun and moon, and period notes on managing the year. It also shows how printed facts underpinned planning in homes, shops, and public offices across a changing young republic. More than an old farmers almanac, it reads as a historical statistical yearbook for the antebellum United States, capturing how Americans organised time, measured the heavens, and compared themselves in American census and statistics. As a nineteenth century almanac and historical reference annual, it offers a crisp lens on 1840s American society: the rhythms of work and worship, the appetite for facts, and the early infrastructure of national record-keeping. For researchers, it doubles as a genealogy research sourcebook, helpful for anchoring family stories to dates, places, and period assumptions; for collectors, it enriches any library reference collection as a facsimile almanac reprint that preserves the look and intent of the original. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
