A remarkably rare survival of a late eighteenth-century edition of a vade mecum for the use of Aberdeen residents, the earliest recorded copy of which is dated 1772. In addition to the usual almanac fare, the text includes lists of the directors of the poor hospital and members of Aberdeen mason lodges.

ESTC records a single copy (NLS).
