| General note | Evans attributes the calculations to Benjamin West, as he does those of nearly all almanacs issued under the Bickerstaff pseudonym. However, the calculations in the eclipse notes, and for the sun, moon, and tides in the calendar pages, are identical with those in Osgood Carleton's An astronomical diary: or, Almanack for 1792 (Boston: S. Hall). The wording of the eclipse notes is practically identical. There are different sets of notes on the calendar pages, but with frequent correspondences. |
| General note | Identical in content and typography, except for the title page, with the Federal almanack for 1792 (Boston: Printed and sold by the booksellers). |
