Entered by Evans under the publishers, Thomas and John Fleet, who are named as editors in the 1789, 1791, and 1794-96 issues.
The almanac was evidently calculated by Nathanael Low. The eclipse notes on p. [4] are identical with those in his An astronomical diary or almanack for 1792, also published by Fleet, and the calculations on the calendar pages are also identical, save for a few slight variations and the abbreviation of those for the phases of the moon.
Advertised in the Boston gazette, Nov. 14, 1791, as the Massachusetts register.
Error in paging: p. 61-64 misnumbered 49-52.
"Fleets Massachusetts register for 1792."--156 p.
