| Note: | Attributed to Benjamin West in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. volume 24 (1914): 102, 129. The eclipse predictions, however, are a slightly altered copy of those in the New-England almanack and gentleman's and lady's diary, calculated by Nathan Daboll under the pseudony of Edmund Freebetter, and published at New London. Nearly all the calculations on the calendar pages, excepting those for the tides, are identical with Daboll's, and the astronomical notes resemble those in Daboll's almanacs rather than West's. Advertised in the Norwich packet, Nov. 1, 1781. Electronic text and image data. Includes files in TIFF, GIF and PDF formats with inclusion of keyword searchable text. Electronic resource. |
