Notes: Attributed by Evans to Benjamin West, but the actual calculator was Elisha Thornton. The astronomical notes and clock equations on the calendar pages, with a few omissions and additions, duplicate those in his Rhode Island almanack for 1793 (Warren, R.I.). The ephemeris, and the calculations for the moon (with two exceptions), are identical. The times for the sun and tides vary in part because of the difference in meridian between the two almanacs. The eclipse predictions are a close version of those in the Rhode Island almanack
