Anmerkungen:

"Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs. - Advertised in the Providence gazette, Oct. 20, 1792. - Alden, J.E. Rhode Island, 1267. - Drake, M. Almanacs, 12933. - Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West. The actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are a brief version of those in the New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1793 (New London), by Daboll. A large portion of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are identical, and the calculations for the moon are identical throughout. The other calculations on these pages vary to a degree reflecting the difference between New London and Providence. - Evans, 25022. - West and Carter, the publisher, severed relations with the 1781 issue. West's almanac was published thereafter at Providence by Bennett Wheeler as the North American calendar, while Carter continued the New England almanack over the Bickerstaff pseudonym with which West is often identified.
