The first issue of a series of city almanacs for The Hague, containing, apart from the calendar and usual contents of almanacs, extensive information on the institutes, schools, churches, magistrates etc. of the city, as well as important rules and laws an average citizen would need to know, such as those for funerals. The publisher and composer of the work, the Dutch-Jewish journalist and publisher Mozes Cohen Belinfante (1761-1827), published the almanac until his year of death. His younger brother, Jacob Belinfante (dates unknown), continued the series under the title sGravenhaagsche Stadts-Almanak from 1830 until 1839.
