General noteCalculated by John Tobler, and probably edited by a later hand. The calculations on the calendar pages are identical with those in his Pennsylvania town and country-man's almanack for 1773 (Wilmington). The astronomical notes on these pages are also duplicated, but with many omissions and some additions.
General noteThough the Tobler almanacs issued after his death in 1765 have been attributed to his son John, the publisher's preface to the South Carolina and Georgia almanack for 1765 (Savannah) states that Tobler's calculations had then been completed up to 1800. The later almanacs contain no indication that Tobler junior is the author.
