Published: 1790
Place of publication: Boston

Notes: Evans attributes the calculations to Benjamin West, as he does those of nearly all almanacs issued under the Bickerstaff pseudonym. The calculator was Osgood Carleton. The calculations on the calendar pages are identical with those in his An astromonical diary: or, An almanack for 1791 (Boston: S. Hall). The eclipse predictions (p. [2]) are also identical, except that only three of the four cuts in the Astronomical diary have been copied for the present almanac. The notes on the calendar pages are closely similar and frequently identical, except that the present almanac omits half of them, particularly the astronomical material.

Identical in typography and contents with Weatherwise's genuine Massachusetts, Rhode-Island and Connecticut almanack for ... 1791 ... Boston: Printed and sold by N. Coverly.

Two states of the title page noted by Drake. One has a woodcut of the Ark on the title page. The other has two woodcuts side by side on the title page, and an ampersand rather than "and" before the word "country" in imprint.
