The Massachusetts, Connecticut, Newhampshire, Rhode-Island, and Vermont almanack, for the year of our Lord, 1793
Subtitle: ... Calculated for the latitude of Boston ...
By: By Isaac Bickerstaff, Esq
Series: Early American imprints -- no. 25020
Publisher: Printed by Nathaniel Coverly, and sold by James Gardner nearly opposite the Court-House Providence.
Published: 1792
Place of publication: Boston
Language: eng
Number of pages: 24
Notes: Evans attributes the almanac, as he does most of those issued under the Bickerstaff pseudonym, to Benjamin West.

Calculated by Samuel Bullard. The eclipse predictions and the calendar page calculations are identical with those in his An almanack for the year of Christian aera 1793 (Boston: B. Edes). The notes on the calendar pages vary in part; but the astronomical and horological ones agree, except that these occur somewhat more abundantly in the present almanac.

Identical in content and typography, except for the title, with The Rhode-Island, Connecticut, Newhampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont almanack for 1793, by Isaac Bickerstaff, also printed by Coverly. Similarly identical--except for p. [19-20], the foot of p. [24], and the verses at the head of the calendar pages--with Coverly's The New England callendar for 1793, which was published in three editions with the authorship lines of "Richard Astrologer," "Isaac Bickerstaff,"and "Abraham Weatherwise."

Signatures: [A]⁴ B-C⁴.
