Weatherwise's town and country almanack, for the year of our Lord, 1783
Subtitle: ... Calculated for the meridian of Boston, New England, lat. 42: 25 n. But will also serve the adjacent states without any sensible error
By: By Abraham Weatherwise, philom
Series: Early American imprints -- no. 17705
Publisher: Printed and sold by Robert Hodge, at his office in Marshall's Lane, near the Boston Stone.
Published: 1782
Place of publication: Boston
Language: eng
Number of pages: 24
Notes: Erroneously attributed to David Rittenhouse by Evans. The actual calculator appears to have been Nathan Daboll, the author of The New-England almanack and gentleman's and lady's diary for 1783 (New London, Conn.) under his pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. The eclipse predictions on p. [4] of Weatherwise are identical in their wording and calculations, apart from slight variations, with those at the end of Freebetter. The astronomical, horological, and other notes correspond so closely as to be evidently by the same hand. The calendar page calculations for the rising, setting and phases of the moon are identical throughout except for a half a dozen instances, though the calculations for the sun and tides on these pages in Freebetter are fitted to Connecticut rather than to Massachusetts as in Weatherwise.

Advertised in the Independent ledger, Boston, Oct. 21, 1782.
