Notes:

"Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs.

The prefatory observations, the eclipse notes, and the notes on the calendar pages in this series through 1818 are identical or nearly so with those in the corresponding issues of Nathan Daboll's New England almanac (New London, Conn.), indicating Daboll's authorship.

Advertised in the Providence Gazette for Nov. 9, 1916.

"Valuable family medicines. Hugh H. Brown has just received, from Lee's Patent and Family Medicine Store, New-York, and offers for sale ... a fresh supply of the following genuine medicines ... Printing, in its various branches, handsomely executed by said Brown, at the shortest notice, and on the most reasonable terms."--lower cover.
