The calculator was William Waring. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in Poor Will's almanack for 1792 (Philadelphia), by Waring, except that the times for the sun are adjusted slightly for half the months. There are fewer columns of calculations, a few notes are omitted, and those on the length of day are different. Waring's eclipse predictions are repeated on p. [30].

Advertised in the Pennsylvania gazette, Philadelphia, Dec. 5, 1792.
