Notes: The calculations on the calendar pages duplicate those in An almanack for ... 1789 ... by Elisha Thornton, also published by Edes. The calculations in the eclipse notes are likewise identical; but the penultimate paragraph, on the transit of Mercury, appears identically in The New-England almanack, and gentlemen & ladies diary, for 1789, by Edmund Freebetter [i.e., Nathan Daboll]. The astronomical notes on the calendar pages seem in large part to combine those of Daboll and Thornton.

Advertised in the Newport herald, Nov. 27, 1788.
