| Item Description: | The title alludes to "Poor Will's" almanacs published in Philadelphia. "William Meanwell" is a pseudonym. The actual calculator is apparently Andrew Beers. The astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages duplicate those in Loudon's almanack and ephemeris for 1785, by Beers (New York), except that they are more numerous in Loudon's. The eclipse predictions are also identical, but the other calculations vary slightly. Electronic resource. |
