Calculated by John Tobler. The calculations and most of the astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in his Pennsylvania town and country-man's almanack for 1768 (Wilmington). Some notes have been added and a few omitted, and those on the length of day differ in part. The tide times for most months differ by one minute

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
