500 |a "Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs. 
500 |a Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West. The actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are practically identical, but for the addition of diagrams, with those in The New-England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1790 (New London), calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. The astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are identical or similar with sufficient frequency to indicate common authorship. The calculations for the moon are identical throughout. The other calendar page calculations vary to a degree reflecting the difference in meridian between New London and Providence. 
500 |a West and Carter, the publisher, severed relations with the 1781 issue. West's almanac was published thereafter at Providence by Bennett Wheeler as the North American calendar, while Carter continued the New England almanack over the Bickerstaff pseudonym with which West is often identified. Cf. Chapin, H.M. "Check list of Rhode Island almanacs, 1643-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. volume 25 (1915): 24-26. 
500 |a Two states of gathering B noted by Alden. In one, the recipe for "Styptic water" occupies the last line of leaf B1 verso and the first six lines of B2 recto. In the other, the recipe occupies the last four lines of B1 verso and the first three lines of B2 recto. Alden notes further differences in the setting of B2 recto.
