Franklin's legacy; or, The Lansingburgh almanack, for the year of our Lord, 1798
36 unnumbered pages ; 18 cm. (duodecimo)
The anonymous calculator was Andrew Beers, as seen through comparison with his Beers's almanac for 1798, published at Troy, N.Y. The eclipse predictions, and the calculations for the phases and rising and setting of the moon, are identical in both almanacs. The astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical throughout, except for a few altered calculations and a few omissions in Franklin's legacy. The calculations for the rising and setting of the sun vary slightly.
Advertised in the Northern budget, Lansingburgh, Nov. 28, 1797.
