General noteThe almanac was apparently calculated by Nathanael Low. The eclipse predictions on p. [2] are a version of those in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1793, also published by Fleet. The calculations on the calendar pages are chiefly identical, but in part vary by one minute. The weather predictions on these pages generally correspond in the two almanacs.
General noteAdvertised in the Boston gazette, Nov. 12, 1792, as Fleet's register.
