Notes:

Comparison with Samuel Stearns' The universal calendar and the North American almanack for 1789 (Boston: Edes and Son) suggests that Stearns is probably the calculator of Hall's. The eclipse predictions in the latter are an expanded version of Stearns', with identical calculations for the moon's major eclipse. An unusual and identical ephemeris heads the calendar pages of each almanac. A significant degree of correspoondence is found in the notes and calculations on these pages, though Hall's devotes two pages to each month where the Universal calendar has one.
