Note

Advertised in the Massachusetts spy, Worcester, Oct. 26, 1780.

"It was unquestionably printed at Hartford by Hudson and Goodwin, not withstanding its Worcester imprint."--Trumbull. Except for the imprint and the second line of the title, the almanac is identical in contents and typography with The Connecticut almanack for the year of our Lord 1781 .. by the professor of mathematics in Yale-College (Hartford: Hudson and Goodwin).

In two printings of The Connecticut almanack, the arrangement of contents on p. [2-4] differs. In the present almanac, as in one of those printings, p. [2] begins with "Eclipses", p. [3] with "Astronomical notes", and p. [4] with Superior Court sittings.
