    Notes:

    Attributed to Samuel Stearns by Evans. The preface, signed "Incog.," reads: "My first production of the astronomical kind is here presented to you. ... The cause of my not prefixing my real name to this my first essay, is (what I think) a prudent diffidence." The preface to the next issue, for 1770, is evidently by the same author, and concludes: "I have not yet had time to think upon the name by which I should best like to be known in the world, and therefore must remain the public's humble servant, Incog."

    However, the first almanac under Stearns' own name also appeared in 1770, entitled The North American's almanack (Boston: The author). Its calculations bear no resemblance to those in the 1770 Edes & Gill's North American almanack, which Evans again attributes to Stearns. Evans' attribution, therefore, is probably based upon the similarity in titles, since no other ground for it is apparent

    Nathaniel Ames in his diary for Feb. 25, 1768, notes: "Sam Sterns of Bolton wants to know how to make almanacks" (Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, n.s. v. 45 (1935): 320). Instruction from Ames during 1768 would have made it possible for Stearns to issue an initial production for 1769
