Edition Notes
Attributed to Benjamin West by Evans and in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 24 (1914): 102, 129. However, the actual calculator was Nathan Daboll. Virtually all the calculations and notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in The New England almanack for 1786 (New London), calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. The tides column varies, because of the difference in meridian between New London and Norwich. The eclipse calculations also are duplicated in each almanac.
Advertised in the Norwich packet, Oct. 6, 1785.
Signatures: [A]⁴ B-C² D⁴.
