Notes: Attributed by Evans to Benjamin West, but the actual calculator was Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are identical, except for lacking the diagram, with those in his The New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1795 (New London, Conn.). The astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are duplicated with some omissions and additions. The calculations for the moon are identical throughout, except that in Wheeler the October phases are repeated for November. The other calculations, including some in the notes, vary because of the difference in meridian between the two almanacs

Two impositions noted. One comprises two gatherings of six leaves, signed [A]⁶ B⁶; the other three gatherings of four leaves, signed [A]⁴ B-C⁴. The first [14] p. of each are printed from the same page forms, but the remainder represent substantial resettings of type
