500 |a "Isaac Bickerstaff" ia a common pseudonym in almanacs. 
500 |a Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West. 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 This almanac is so similar to the Rhode Island almanack for 1794, by Elisha Thornton (Warren, R.I.) in its eclipse predictions and the astronomical and horological notes on its calendar pages that it, too, appears to have been calculated by Thornton. The following year, Carter and Wilkinson published two identical isues of the New England almanack, one with Thornton's name on the title page, and the other by "Bickerstaff." 
500 |a A later issue for 1794 (Evans 26465), printed after William Wilkinson was taken into partnership by Carter about the beginning of November 1793, has imprint: "Printed and sold ... by Carter and Wilkinson, opposite the market."
