Rare. Barlow’s second poem describes his dream of his father’s death at the very time of its occurrence, though he did not know of the illness. The impression was strong enough to wake him.

John Booker was a prolific Almanac maker: his Almanac and Prognostication was issued from 1631 to 1649: his Celestial Observations from 1651 to 1662, and the Telescopium from 1659 to 1676, but the dates may be capable of extension, and as Booker died in 1667, the Telescopium must have been carried on by a successor under his name. Only this one issue was printed at Oxford, since the Stationers’ Company bought out the University’s right of printing this and certain other kinds of book in March 1636
7, see 1636 L, and Booker, Wyberd below. The underlined words in the title are printed in red, as well as much of the woodcut border (which bears the signs of the zodiac, the royal arms, and an open book), the words “Oxford,” “to the famous Universitie. 1637.” in the imprint, and many words in the text. The same astrological woodcut occurs as in the Wyberd, but in a more injured state, showing that Wyberd had precedence in point of date. Booker’s Almanac for 1636 was printed at Cambridge.
