The almanac was apparently calculated by Nathanael Low. The notes ([p.4]) on eclipses, the blazing star, and the planet Venus practically duplicate those in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1788, also published by Fleet. The calendar page calculations are also identical for the most part, with some slight variations.
