| Item Description: | Evans attributes the almanac, as he does most of those issued under the Bickerstaff pseudonym, to Benjamin West. Calculated by Samuel Bullard. The eclipse predictions and the calendar page calculations are identical with those in his An almanack for the year of Christian aera 1793 (Boston: B. Edes). The notes on the calendar pages vary in part; but the astronomical and horological ones agree, except that these occur somewhat more abundantly in the present almanac. Identical in content and typography, except for the title, with The Rhode-Island, Connecticut, Newhampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont almanack for 1793 by Isaac Bickerstaff, also printed by Coverly. Similarly identical--except for pages [19-20], the foot of page [24], and the verses at the head of the calendar pages--with Coverly's The New England callendar for 1793, which was published in three editions with the authorship lines of "Richard Astrologer," "Isaac Bickerstaff," and "Abraham Weatherwise." Title vignette. Electronic resource. |
