Published: 1788
Place of publication: Charleston [S.C.]
Language: eng
Number of pages: 28
Notes: Attributed by Evans to John Tobler, presumably because most of the other issues in this series bear his name, but probably correctly. The calculations for the rising and setting of the moon are identical throughout with those in the Wilmington almanac or ephemeris for 1789 (Wilmington, Del.), and the eclipse predictions have the same wording in an abbreviated form. From 1764 to 1777 and probably until 1794, the Wilmington almanack contained Tobler's calculations under the pseudonym of Thomas Fox. Most of the calculations in the present almanac differ from those in Wilmington because of the difference in meridian.

Although 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 1764 (Savannah) states that Tobler's calculations had then been completed for publication up to 1800. The later almanacs contain no indication that Tobler junior is the author.
