Notes
General note
"Fleets Massachusetts register for 1792."--156 p.
Advertised in the Boston gazette, Nov. 14, 1791, as the Massachusetts register.
Entered by Evans under the publishers, Thomas and John Fleet, who are named as editors in the 1789, 1791, and 1794-96 issues.
Error in paging: p. 61-64 misnumbered 49-52.
Reproduction of original from British Library.
The almanac was evidently calculated by Nathanael Low. The eclipse notes on p. [4] are identical with those in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1792, also published by Fleet, and the calculations on the calendar pages are also identical, save for a few slight variations and the abbreviation of those for the phases of the moon....
