A partir de 1725 su impresor será Juan Sanz; después lo serán sus herederos y desde 1730 Antonio Sanz su sobrino que en 1769 cederá los derechos a la Corona española a cambio de una pensión vitalicia. En su portada se expresa que contiene los nacimientos de los reyes reinas los setenta miembros que componen el sacro colegio cardenalicio los prÃncipes de Europa los ministros que componen los tribunales de Su Magestad en sus reinos con indicación de sus residencias particulares en Madrid. En definitiva se trata de una guÃa completÃsima de la Administración del Estado del antiguo régimen con la indicación de sus órganos ejecutivos y consultivos consejos reales juntas instituciones cientÃficas y académicas y demás organismos y entidades que la monarquÃa española fue creando a lo largo del siglo dieciocho entre estas la propia Real Biblioteca Pública antecedentes de la Biblioteca Nacional de España y las reales academias con los nombres de los arzobispos y obispos de España y de las Indias la composición de los tribunales chancillerÃas y audiencias relación de reinos y provincias y partidos con los nombres de sus gobernadores intendentes y corregidores.

Asimismo incluirá los valores de las monedas españolas y sus valores de cambio con las más importantes de Europa. Desde 1768 le acompañará el Estado militar de España con portada propia con los nombres de los capitanes y tenientes generales del Ejército de Su Magestad mariscales de campo brigadieres y oficiales de Marina etc. En la edición de 1767 comienza a incluir grabados como los de Carlos III los PrÃncipes de Asturias o el del Palacio de Aranjuez y después los de Carlos IV y la reina Maria Luisa para en el siglo XIX incluir los de Fernando VII y los de su hija la joven reina Isabel II.

Su volumen irá aumentando a lo largo de los años desde el centenar hasta superar las cuatrocientas páginas. Durante la invasión del ejército napoleónico el kalendario no aparecerá en 1809 ni en 1810 y para 1811 saldrá de la Imprenta de D. Miguel Segovia impresor de la Real Marina desde la Real Isla de León en Cádiz elaborado por dos redactores de los que se encargaban de las principales guÃas de forasteros de litigantes de comercio y hacienda y de guerra y marina de Madrid y se titulará GuÃa patriótica de España. Incluye una introducción narrando las dificultades que se dan para elaborarla y constará de dos partes. En la primera se dará cuenta del gobierno legÃtimo de sus tribunales y estado militar y la segunda de los cuerpos y oficiales de los ejércitos residentes en Cádiz asà como de la relación de diputados de las Cortes acompañada de un artÃculo. Las de 1812 y 1813 se titularán GuÃa polÃtica de las Españas y es también impresa en Cádiz la primera en la oficina de la viuda de Comes y la segunda en la Imprenta Nacional. En este caso es elaborada por un solo redactor e incluye unas efemérides patrióticas de los principales acontecimientos que se han venido producido durante la guerra contra los ejércitos franceses y artÃculos introductorios a la relación del cuerpo legislativo listado de diputados y del tribunal y secretarÃa de Estado de Cortes poder ejecutivo consejo supremo de Regencia Consejo de Estado embajadores y comandantes de los ejércitos. La de 1813 incluirá una addenda titulada Exércitos nacionales. Al regreso de Fernando VII retornará de nuevo a su tÃtulo anterior y a prácticamente a los mismos contenidos que publicaba durante el antiguo régimen hasta que durante el trienio liberal modifica otra vez su cabecera y algunos de sus contenidos al incluir de nuevo la relación de diputados a Cortes y las nuevas instituciones administrativas que el incipiente Estado liberal comienza a crear. En 1821 se titula GuÃa de forasteros en Madrid y en 1822 y 1823 GuÃa polÃtica y militar estampándose en la denominada Imprenta Nacional antes Imprenta Real. Por su parte el Estado militar de España que venÃa publicándose conjuntamente con el kalendario en 1821 1822 y 1823 se titulará Estado de los ejércitos de la monarquÃa española. El calendario para 1825 resulta asimismo interesante porque en las relaciones no aparecerán los "purificados". Esta publicación seguirá editándose hasta 1837 cuando es sustituida por la titulada GuÃa de forasteros en Madrid incluyendo los grabados de la reina gobernadora Maria Cristina y su hija Isabel II y dando cuenta de la nueva organización que el Estado liberal estaba creando en sustitución a la del viejo régimen por lo que el kalendario es una fuente de información básica para el conocimiento tanto de la evolución de la estructura estatal como de quienes eran titulares de sus numerosos órganos e instituciones desde la monarquÃa absolutista e ilustrada del dieciocho hasta las primeras décadas de construcción del Estado liberal con sus dos episodios más influyentes el constituyente de las Cortes de Cádiz y su epÃgono del trienio.

Prima e assai rara compilazione di quest'opera dell'avvocato Francesco Avolio di Paola (1763 – 1838): si parla molto delle tonnare, si espone il trattato intono al viaggio dei tonni (se detti pesci siano cioè passeggieri o abbiano nascimento e stanziamento nei mari siciliani), si discute sopra i privilegi concessi ai marinari impiegati nelle tonnare e su certe liberalità delle medesime; si parla di pesca nazionale, delle leggi sulla pesca del corallo, della pesca nei porti e si accenna a quella fatta nel porto di Siracusa, delle leggi dei fiumi, laghi, vivai; delle magistrature marittime della Sicilia, proponendone l'abolizione in favore di una Società Economica; infine si affrontano i regolamenti per la vendita del pesce e le gravità che pesano sulle pescagioni siciliane. Censito da iccu in pochissimi esemplari (Mira, I, pp. 64). Esemplare in vecchia ma non originale e modesta legatura (con sottostante rimanenza, al front. e all'ultima bianca, di carta azzurrina della brossura originale) rivestimento del dorso difettato, modestissimo foxing solo a poche carte, una piccola mancanza della carta al foglio delle pp. 91 recto e 92 verso ha creato una lacuna al margine superiore e ha omesso un paio di parole, peraltro esemplare completo, pulito e marginoso, ben conservato nel suo insieme.

Prima traduzione italiana pubblicata l'anno appresso all'originale inglese per le cure di Antonio Pillori. Non comune quando completa del bell'apparato iconografico perché, come si dichiara all'inizio dell'opera, le carte geografiche non sono state ancora incise e verranno pubblicate successivamente. Le carte disegnate appositamente dal Kitchin, idrografo di sua maestà, raffigurano l'America meridionale; i paesi sopra il Mare Meridionale da Panama a Guayaquil, il Messico o Nuova Spagna, dove si possono rintracciare i movimenti di Hernan Cortes al tempo della conquista e la carta del golfo del Messico con le isole adiacenti.
