Notes: "Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs.

Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West. West and Carter, the publisher, severed relations with the 1781 issue. West's almanac was published thereafter at Providence by Bennett Wheeler as the North American calendar, while Carter continued the New England almanack over the Bickerstaff pseudonym, with which West is often identified. Cf. Chapin, H.M. "Check list of Rhode Island almanacs, 1643-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 25 (1915): 24-26.

Identical in content and typography, except for the author statement, with The New England almanack or Lady's and gentleman's diary for 1795 ... The astronomical calculations by Elisha Thornton (Providence : Carter and Wilkinson).
