However, the actual calculator was Nathan Daboll. The calculations in the almanac, excepting those in the tides column, are identical with those in The New England almanack for 1787 (New London), calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. The notes on the calendar pages are also duplicated, except that a few are omitted in Bickerstaff.
