Editions Note:
Installments of this almanac were published from 1739 to 1749 under the title, Poor Will’s almanack, for the year of Christian account..., and from 1769 to 1800 under the title, Poor Will’s almanack, for the year of our Lord... The same set of astronomical calculations appear in several almanacs published in Pennsylvania in this period. Many bibliographers attribute them all to Rittenhouse, especially the 1775-1781 installments of Poor Will’s almanack, but others dispute this.
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.
