- Notes:
- Evans attributes this almanac to Benjamin West, as he does nearly all those issued under the Bickerstaff pseudonym.
- Calculated by Nathan Daboll. The moon calculations and most of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages duplicate those in his New England almanack and gentlemen and ladies diary for 1796 (New London). The calculations for the sun vary in part, and those for the tides altogether, reflecting the difference in meridian between the two almanacs.
