| 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 nearly all astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in Father Abraham's almanack for 1777 (Philadelphia), calculated by Rittenhouse. Some notes have been omitted and a few added, and the column of tides has been replaced by one for the moon's age. Advertised in the Pennsylvania packet, Philadelphia, Oct. 29, 1776. The Anatomy is the only illustration. Electronic resource. |
