| Item Description: | Attributed to Daboll in: Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society n.s. volume 24 (1914): 125-129. If Daboll is the author, the almanac is an apparent revision of his The Connecticut almanac for ... 1773 (New London: T. Green), which was advertised October 9, 1772. The calculations in the columns of the calendar pages are identical except for those in the last column of June. The calculations for the phases of the moon, at the head of the same pages, contain frequent slight variations, and the notes column on these pages differs more or less throughout. The ephemeris on page [16] is identical in each almanac, while the eclipse calculations and diagrams at the front vary. Until the Freebetter series ended in 1792, Daboll issued no other almanacs under his own name (apart from his calculations for Green's Register), except for 1775, when no issue of Freebetter's appeared and he produced Daboll's New-England almanac (also published by Green) in its place. Advertised in the New-London gazette, Nov. 27, 1772, as "Just published, and to be sold by Timothy Green." Electronic resource. |
