The almanac was probably calculated by Nathanael Low. The eclipse predictions are a condensed version of those in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1784, also published by Fleet, though the actual calculations tend to vary slightly. The calendar page calculations are for the most part identical, again with some slight variations.
