Description: Poor Richard's Almanack Poor Richard's Almanack Benjamin Franklin Poor Richard’s Almanack was a yearly almanac published by Benjamin Franklin using the pseudonym Richard Saunders, the “Poor Richard” of the title. Almanacs offered an amalgam of weather forecasts, sunrises, sunsets, phases of the moon, and tides along with household tips, puzzles and other amusements. Both useful and entertaining, they were immensely popular, and none more so than Franklin’s, which sold quite well, as many as 10,000 copies per year, and made him a wealthy man. Published for 25 years between 1732 and 1758, the pamphlet was known for its wordplay and extensive sprinkling of witty and wise sayings throughout, many of which have found their way into the American vernacular. Some 690 of these aphorisms and sayings are collected here.
