[2] A mistake as printed – it should in fact read ‘Seventeenth’ to match the sequence of the others as given. The years from 1821 to 1826 are retrospectively counted because of a short succession of other almanacs that were forerunners to Raphael’s having been published in those years, latterly by William Charlton Wright, the publisher who then took on Raphael’s, which was launched in 1826 for the year 1827.
