General noteApparently calculated by Osgood Carleton. The calculations on the calendar pages are identical with those in the corresponding columns of Carleton's almanack for 1794 (Boston). The eclipse predictions also contain identical calculations, and, though brief, seem clearly by the same hand; and there are significantly frequent similarities in the notes on the calendar pages. An advertisement by Carleton appears on p. [18].
General noteIdentical in typography and contents, except for the title page, with the Massachusetts, New-Hampshire, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, and Vermont almanack for 1794, by Isaac Bickerstaff (Boston : For the booksellers).
General noteEvans attributed the printing of each almanac to Nathaniel Coverly, apparently correctly. The cut on the title page of the Bickerstaff edition is the same as that used in the New-England callendar or almanack for 1793, of which Coverly printed three editions under as many pseudonyms. The court pages in the Bickerstaff and Weatherwise editions of the present almanac, with some revisions, are printed from the same page forms as those in the New-England callendar.
