General noteAttributed to Benjamin West by Evans and in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 24 (1914): 102, 129. But the calendar pages are apparently the work of Nathan Daboll. The calculations are identical, and the astronomical and horological notes frequently so, with those in The New-England almanack for 1781 (New London), calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter.
General noteAdvertised in the Norwich packet, Oct. 10, 1780.
