"'Isaac Bickerstaff' is a common pseudonym in almanacs. Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West. The actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The eclipse predictions are a brief version of those in the New England almanack and gentlemen & ladies diary for 1793 (New London), by Daboll. A large portion of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages are identical, and the calculations for the moon are identical throughout. The other calculations on these pages vary to a degree reflecting the difference between New London and Providence" [ESTC].
