Excerpt from History of the American Baptist Publication Society: From Its Origin in 1824, to Its Thirty-Second Anniversary in 1856 One year before we left Philadelphia, [1819] I originated the bap tist almanac.' This was the first religious Almanac ever published, I believe. Upwards of 3000 copies of it [for the year 1820] were printed, and they sold very rapidly. The whole edition was sold. The second number of it for the year 1821, was in type. It was taken with our printing Ofiice to Washington, but was not published.
