-
- Attributed by Evans to Ezra Gleason, the author of the Massachusetts calendars for 1773 (printed by E. Russell) and 1774 (printed by Thomas). The preface, however, states that "this almanack ... is my first performance of this kind." Almanac authors sometimes published their first production anonymously, to test its acceptance.
- Advertised in the Massachusetts spy, Boston, Oct. 10, 1771.
- With a half-title. The half-title leaf has a cut on each side. The cut on verso (Reilly 1009) is a wood engraving after Paul Revere's print of the Boston Massacre and is attributed to Revere by Brigham.
- Two states of gathering B noted, the calculations for Apr. 26-30 and for Aug. 8-13 having been altered.
- Two states of gathering D noted. In one, p. [32] has advertisements of Isaiah Thomas and John Langdon; in the other, advertisements of Isaiah Thomas and Andrew Barclay.
