Published: 1771
Place of publication: Newport [i.e., Providence, R.I.]
Language: eng
Format: Microform
Number of pages: 24
Notes: Apparently printed at Providence by John Carter for Campbell. Typographically identical, except for minor changes, with the Providence issue printed by John Carter (Evans 12282). In that issue, both title page and text have a double rule (broad and narrow) border, while in the present issue the title page border is ornamental and a single narrow rule borders the text. A few textual amendations have been made in the Providence issue. In the title page statement of meridian, degree and minute symbols are used in place of commas; this also occurs at the foot of p. [18-19]. Two misspellings on the Newport calendar pages for May and August, "An ode to heealth" and "Augsut", have been corrected, and the former line reset in italics.
