Almanack

Almanack [fr. the Arabic particle al, and manach, to count or reckon], a publication in which is recounted the days of the week, month, and year, both common and particular, distinguishing the fasts, feasts, terms, etc., from the common days by proper marks, pointing out also the several changes of the moon, tides, eclipses, etc. It is a part of the law of England, of which the Courts must take notice in the returns of writs, etc., but the almanack to go by is that annexed to the Book of Common Prayer. It is not evidence of the time of sunrise on a particular day, Tutton v. Darke, (1860) 5 H&N 647.
