General note | As in the previous issues of the series, the almanac was evidently calculated by Nathanael Low. The eclipse page is identical with that in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1798, also published by Fleet. The calculations on the calendar pages are also identical except for scattered slight variations, and the weather predictions and astronomical notes on these pages tend to correspond. |
