Notes: Attributed to Benjamin West by Evans and in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 24 (1914): 102, 129. But the apparent calculator is Nathan Daboll. The astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages, except for a few omissions, are identical with those in The New England almanack for 1783, calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. The calculations are identical in part, and in part adjusted for the difference in meridian, chiefly in the tides column. The eclipse predictions in the two almanacs are versions of one another

Drake notes two states. In one the text of the Articles of Confederation, which begins on p. [17], has title in roman and italic type and article designations in italic. In the other, the title for the Articles is printed in italic type with article designations in roman type
