The Almanac pages referred to stolen copies of Poor Richard's Almanack by Benjamin Franklin. These editions secretly contained crafting recipes for inventions by Franklin and other scientists of the day.[1]
History
In 1754, while staying in Boston, Franklin's copies were stolen. When Haytham Kenway and Charles Lee noticed his distress and approached him, Franklin informed them of what happened, adding that if they could find the missing pages in their spare time, he would reward them.[2] Eventually, Haytham found all of the missing pages from a newly-printed first volume that collected Franklin's 1733 writings, earning him Franklin's gratitude and £500,[3] though he could not find any other papers elsewhere. During the American Revolutionary War, Haytham's son Ratonhnhaké:ton located the remaining stolen pages in Boston and New York and used the crafting recipes to build a scientific display in the Davenport Homestead. These included a's busybody, the Franklin stove, a glass armonica, Franklin's kite and key, an electrostatic generator, a Leyden jar, Joseph Priestley's soda apparatus, an orrery, and the Watt steam engine[1]
