Calculated by John Tobler. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in his Pennsylvania town and country-man's almanack for 1769 (Wilmington), except that many notes have been added. The eclipse predictions (p. [31]) are also duplicated.

Though the Tobler almanacs issued after his death in 1765 have been attributed to his son John, the publisher's preface to the South Carolina and Georgia almanack for 1765 (Savannah) states that Tobler's calculations had then been completed up to 1800. The later almanacs contain no indication that Tobler Junior is the author.

Advertised in the Pennsylvania gazette, Philadelphia, Aug. 25, 1768.
