| Item Description: | Attributed by Evans to Benjamin West, but the actual calculator was Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are identical with those in The New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1792 (New London, Conn.), calculated by Daboll under his pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter. The astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are a selection of those in "Freebetter", with a few others added. The calculations for the moon are duplicated throughout. Most of those for the sun and tides, and some of those in the notes, vary because of the difference in meridian between New London and Providence. Advertised in the United States chronicle, Providence, Oct. 20, 1791. The illustration is an eclipse diagram on the title page. Electronic resource. |
