| Item Description: | Attributed by Evans to Benjamin West, but the actual calculator was Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are virtually identical with those in his The New England almanack and gentlemen and ladies diary for 1796 (New London, Conn.). Many of Daboll's astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are duplicated; those omitted are replaced by others characteristic of him. The times of the moon's rising and setting are identical throughout. Those for the sun and tides, and some of the calculations in the notes, vary because of the difference in meridian between the two almanacs. Advertised in the United States chronicle, Providence, Nov. 12, 1795. Title vignette. Electronic resource. |
