Note

Advertised in the Boston evening post (printed by T. Fleet), Nov. 28, 1757. Also advertised in the Boston news-letter (printed by J. Draper), Dec. 1-8, 1757, as "sold by T. Fleet, S. Kneeland, Z. Fowle, Green and Russel, and by the printer of this paper; as also by the booksellers in Boston. There are pirated almanacks abroad, said in the title-page to be printed & sold by Edes & Gill in Queen-Street, which are not agreeable to the copy purchased by Dr. Ames." The pirated edition referred to is presumably Drake 3109.
