| Item Description: | Attributed by Evans to William Andrews, the pseudonym which appeared on the title page of the first three issues. Calculated by David Rittenhouse. The calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in Father Abraham's almanack for 1776 (Philadelphia), calculated by Rittenhouse. A few notes have been added or omitted, and the column of tides has been replaced by one for the moon's age. The eclipse calculations (page [2]) are also duplicated. Advertised in the Pennsylvania packet, Philadelphia, Sept 25, 1775. The Anatomy is the only illustration. Electronic resource. |
