notes:
The author, whose preface is signed "Isaac Bickerstaff," was Benjamin West. The eclipse predictions are identical, and calendar page notes correspond closely, with those in West's The New-England almanack, or Lady's and gentleman's diary, for 1772 (Providence). The calendar page calculations for the moon's place, rising, and setting, are also identical, though the others vary, being for Boston rather than Providence.
