Description
Item Description:Attributed to Benjamin West by Evans and in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. volume 24 (1914): 102, 129. The calculations, excepting those in the tides column, are identical with those in The New England almanack for 1792 (New London), calculated by Nathan Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. A significant portion of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages parallel those in "Freebetter," where, however, they are much more numerous.
Advertised in the Norwich packet, Oct. 20, 1791.
"The bachelor's address to modesty."--page [20], in verse. Recorded separately by Evans (entry 23138), who may have been mislead by the advertisement in the Oct. 27 issue of the Norwich packet.
