Notes: Attributed to Benjamin West by Evans and in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 24 (1914): 102, 129. The calculations, excepting those in the tides column, are identical with those in The New England almanack for 1792 (New London), calculated by Nathan Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. A significant portion of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages parallel those in "Freebetter," where, however, they are much more numerous.
