The Coll Almanac
Preface
Reader! As you open this Almanac for the year 1890, and see how soon the new decennial term begins, try to think that you may have to look back upon it from the year 1990. But whether that happen or not, your beginning a new period of time may serve to suggest that it is well to make a new departure in many ways. If you have done amiss, you may make amend; if you have made an enemy, you can make him a friend; if you have acted wrongly, you may now act rightly.
