The Lancaster almanack, for the year of our Lord, 1778
Subtitle: ... Fitted to the latitude of forty degrees, and a meridian of near five hours west from London; but may without sensible error, serve all the northern colonies
By: By Anthony Sharp, philom
Series: Early American imprints -- no. 15579
Publisher: Printed by Francis Bailey, who is removed from the north to the south-side of King's-Street, a few doors below the market.
Published: 1777
Place of publication: Lancaster [Pa.]
Language: eng
Number of pages: 36
Notes: "Anthony Sharp" is a pseudonym found only in the almanacs published by Bailey.

Erroneously attributed by Evans to David Rittenhouse. Except for the times of the sun's rising and setting, the calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages contain no resemblances to those in Father Abraham's almanack for 1778 (Philadelphia), which names Rittenhouse as its calculator.

Advertised in the Pennsylvania packet, Lancaster, Dec. 10, 1777.
