Item Description:Advertised in the Pennsylvania packet, Philadelphia, Sept. 21, 1772. - Calculated by John Tobler, and probably edited by a later hand. The calculations on the calendar pages are identical with those in his Pennsylvania town and country-man's almanack for 1773 (Wilmington). The astronomical notes on these pages are also duplicated, but with many omissions and some additions. - Drake, M. Almanacs, 9974. - English Short Title Catalog, W36917. - Evans, 12607. - Hildeburn, C.R. Pennsylvania, 2837. - Reproduction of original from Boston Public Library. - The frontispiece is signed: H.D.
