‘An almanack or prognostication for… 1658’ (S PAM 173) by Sarah Jinner of London who wrote a series of almanacs 1658-1664. Thought to be one of the first women to be a professional writer. Aimed at educated people, they included forecasts & medical remedies for women.

A class from St Thomas’s Academy enjoyed a workshop yesterday about the Great Plague of 1665. They were shown original materials up close that recorded statistics, official orders & remedies. They were excited to see – as a novelty – the world’s smallest dictionary! 📚📜🌟
