Note

Attributed to Benjamin West by Evans. However, it is identical in content and typography, except for the author statement, calendar page verses, and much of the contents of p. [16-22], with An astronomical diary, kalendar, or Almanack, for 1790, by N. Strong (Hartford: Elisha Babcock). The figure is omitted from the eclipse predictions in the Bickerstaff issue.

The almanac is also identical in every respect, except the imprint, with that having the same title and author statement and an imprint reading: Hartford: Printed by Elisha Babcock.

Advertised in the American Mercury, Hartford, Nov. 2, 1789.
