Advertised in the Essex gazette, Salem, Nov. 13/20, 1770. The previous issue, for 1770, was entitled Philo's Essex almanack. The astronomical and weather predictions among the notes on the calendar pages correspond for the most part with those in Nathaneil Low's An astronomical diary or Almanack for 1771 (Boston), suggesting that these pages are probably also the work of Low, though calculated for Salem rather than Boston.
