Number of pages: 24
Notes: Attributed by Evans to Benjamin West, but the actual calculator was Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are a briefer version of those in The New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1791 (New London, Conn.), calculated by Daboll under his pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. The astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are identical, with some omitted and a few added. The calculations for the moon are duplicated throughout. Those for the sun and tides and in some of the notes vary because of the difference in meridian between New London and Providence.

Advertised in the United States chronicle, Providence, Oct. 14, 1790.

The illustration is an eclipse diagram on the title page.
