Father Abraham's almanack, for the year of our Lord, 1769. ..
By: By Abraham Weatherwise, gent
Series: Early American imprints -- no. 11110
Publisher: Printed by John Dunlap, at the newest-printing-office, the south side of the Jersey Market, and three doors below Second-Street.
Published: 1768
Place of publication: Philadelphia
Language: eng
Number of pages: 40
Notes: Calculated by John Tobler, probably with revisions by a later hand. The calculations on the calendar pages are identical with those in his Pennsylvania town and country-man's almanack for 1769 (Wilmington). The notes are basically the same, but with many additions and omissions in Father Abraham. The eclipse calculations are by a different calculator.

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.

Advertised in the Pennsylvania gazette, Philadelphia, Sept. 15, 1768, Postscript.

Signatures: pi² A⁶ B-E⁴-².

The frontispiece is signed: H.D. (Henry Dawkins).
