London Almanac for the year of Christ 1899. [Peacock, Mansfield, & Britton of 18, Salisbury Square]. [London]. [1898].

17 double pages with stamps, transfer days at the bank, calendar, table of Kings and Queens,the Cabinet and the Court. This is a fine example of the even smaller edition, half the size of the normal edition. 18 x 60mm. Original burgundy morocco with matching slipcase. Elaborate gilt rolled decoration. Bondy calls this the "curious finger format resulting from the leaf being folded vertically...with no frontispiece illustrations". Bondy, 39-41 & 164. Not in Spielmann, nor Welsh. WorldCat locates no copies worldwide. The most recent published example found by Welsh was published ten years before this in 1889. But in September 1990 a copy from 1912 was recorded in Miniature Book News, Number 66. From 1896, the London Almanac was published, not by the Stationers' Company, but by Messrs. Peacock, Mansfield, & Britton of 18 Salisbury Square.
