Attributed to Benjamin West in the Dictionary of American biography and in Nichols, C.L. "Notes on the almanacs of Massachusetts." Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 22 (1912): 34-35. The eclipse notes are identical, except for some varying calculations, with those in West's The New England almanack, or Lady's and gentleman's diary for 1768 (Providence). The calculations on the calendar pages vary (being for Boston rather than Providence), except for those of the moon's rising and setting, which are identical
