Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Drake, M. Almanacs, 6482. - Hutchins died in 1782, and the present almanac was calculated by David Young. The eclipse calculations (p. [3]) and the astronomical notes on the calendar pages (with some omissions) are identical with those in his Citizen & farmer's almanac for 1818, adapted to Morristown, N.J. The calculations for the sun, for the moon's phases, for the moon's rising and setting during March-June, and for the tides during April-May, vary slightly between the two almanacs because of the difference in meridian between Morristown and New York. Young was also the author of the New York farmer's almanac for 1818, but its calculations are simply copied from his almanac for New Jersey. - Shaw & Shoemaker, 41111. - The Anatomy is the only illustration
