Editions Note:
Installments of the Lancaster almanack survive from each year between 1775 and 1779, with additional "pocket" editions published under slightly different titles surviving from each year between 1776 and 1779. The same set of astronomical calculations appear in several almanacs published in Pennsylvania in this period. Many bibliographers attribute them all to Rittenhouse based on the explicit attribution to him of the calculations found in certain almanacs, but others dispute this.
