The almanac was calculated by Nathanael Low. The notes and calculations on the eclipse page are identical, save for the omission of a few sentences, with those in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1791, also published by Fleet. The calculations on the calendar pages are likewise identical, except that those for the phases of the moon are abbreviated.
