Notes: Attributed by Evans to Benjamin West; but the eclipse predictions are practically identical with those in the New-England almanack by Edmund Freebetter [i.e., Nathan Daboll] (New London). There are frequent correspondences in the astronomical notes on the calendar pages, with the times adjusted for the difference in meridian. All the calculations for the moon are duplicated in the two almanacs, and the tide times differ by exactly one hour.

Later editions have title: Wheeler's North-American calendar.
