| General note | Attributed to Benjamin West in Bates, A.C. "Check list of Connecticut almanacs, 1709-1850." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 24 (1914): 102, 129. The eclipse predictions, however, are a slightly altered copy of those in the New-England almanack and gentleman's and lady's diary, calculated by Nathan Daboll under the pseudony of Edmund Freebetter, and published at New London. Nearly all the calculations on the calendar pages, excepting those for the tides, are identical with Daboll's, and the astronomical notes resemble those in Daboll's almanacs rather than West's. |
