| Item Description: | Subsequent issues for 1794-96 are entitled: A pocket almanack ... to which is annexed, The Massachusetts register. Entered by Evans under the publishers, Thomas and John Fleet, who are named in the 1789, 1791, and 1794-96 issues as editors of the register. The almanac was apparently calculated by Nathanael Low. The eclipse predictions on page [2] are a version of those in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1793, also published by Fleet. The calculations on the calendar pages are chiefly identical, but in part vary by one minute. The weather predictions on these pages generally correspond in the two almanacs. Advertised in the Boston gazette, Nov. 12, 1792, as Fleet's register. "Fleets Massachusetts register for 1793."--143, [1] pages. Electronic resource. |
