Editions Note:
The title page of each installment of The Virginia almanack, published from 1774 to 1779, attributes the almanac's astronomical calculations to Rittenhouse. Almanacs with similar titles also appeared from 1740 to 1743, 1747 to 1772, and 1780 to 1800, but none of these explicitly credit Rittenhouse. The 1779 installment saw two editions.
Holding Note:
APS has a copy of at least one installment but does not have copies of the installments whose astronomical calculations are credited to Rittenhouse.
