Notes
General note
Advertised in the United States chronicle, Providence, Sept. 29, 1785.
Alden notes two states. In one (state A), p. [24] ends with three humorous poems. In another state (state B), p. [24] ends with a request from the printer.
The eclipse predictions are nearly identical with those in Bickerstaff's genuine Boston almanack for 1786 (Boston : E. Russell, 1785); the author signs himself "Isaac Bickerstaff Esq." in a note dated at Providence, the locale of Benjamin West. No further similarities exist....
