Notes: "Robert More" is a pseudonym. The calculator was John Tobler, probably with revisions by a later hand. The calculations on the calendar pages duplicate those in his Pennsylvania town and country-man's almanack for 1772, published at Wilmington. The astronomical notes on these pages are also Tobler's, with some additions and omissions. A column for the moon's age replaces that for tides

Though the Tobler almanacs issued after his death in 1765 have been attributed to his son John, the publisher's preface to the South Carolina and Georgia almanack for 1765 (Savannah) states that Tobler's calculations had then been completed up to 1800. The later almanacs contain no indication that Tobler junior is the author
