| Item Description: | Calculated by Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are identical, except for lacking the diagram, with those in his New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1795 (New London). The moon calculations, and most of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages, duplicate Daboll's. Part of the calculations in the notes, and those for the sun and tides, vary because of the difference in the meridian between the two almanacs. Entered by Evans under the publisher. Alden 1348a notes an earlier edition with the error "according to the Scriptures 5798" in the title. Page [15] of that edition begins "Federal, Supreme, and Superior Courts," while in the present edition it begins "The new French calendar." Advertised in the Herald of the United States, Warren, Oct. 25, 1794. Two title vignettes. Electronic resource. |
