See also the preface by the younger Ames, whose "Elegy on the death of the late Dr. Ames" is also included in the almanac (p. [21-22]). The Massachusetts gazette advertisement states "The late Dr. Nathaniel Ames had finished his calculations for this almanac, and prepared a copy thereof, before his death, excepting the eclipses, which, together with the additional part, has since been completed by his son."
