| Item Description: | Attributed by Evans to Benjamin West, but the actual calculator was Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are identical in calculations and practically so in wording with those in The New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1789 (New London, Conn.), calculated by Daboll under his pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. Most of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages correspond. The calculations for the moon are duplicated throughout, though the others vary because of the difference in meridian between New London and Providence. Advertised in the United States chronicle, Providence, Oct. 16, 1788. Title vignette. Electronic resource. |
