"'Isaac Bickerstaff' is a common pseudonym in almanacs. Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West. The actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The extensive eclipse predictions are practically identical with those in The New England almanack and gentleman's and lady's diary for 1783 [New London], calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter" [ESTC].
Information is included on Friends' Meetings, courts in the New England States, a table of Coins, and Roads and Distances.
