Language: eng
Format: Microform
Number of pages: 24
Subjects: Almanacs -- Rhode Island -- 1801.
Notes: Identical in content and typography with the Rhode-Island almanac for 1801, also issued by Farnsworth. The astronomical content is apparently the work of Remington Southwick, whose almanacs for subsequent years were all published by Farnsworth after Southwick moved to Rhode Island. Southwick was still living at his birthplace in Mendon, Mass., in 1800, and his signed almanac for 1801 was published at Dedham by H. Mann as the Columbian calendar. In the present almanac the calculations for the moon are identical with those in the Columbian calendar; the astronomical notes on the calendar pages correspond frequently; and the eclipse predictions are identical calculations varying in length only. Significant differences occur in some calendar pages which are in the Columbian almanac calculated for the meridian of Boston, and in the present almanac calculated for Newport.
