Edition Notes
The title pages of Strong's almanacs for 1806 and 1807 published at New Haven identify Strong as the author of those formerly issued under the pseudonym of Stafford.
In comparison with Strong's An astronomical diary, kalendar, or almanack for 1792 (Hartford), the eclipse predictions (p. [2]) and the astronomical notes on the calendar pages are practically identical, and the calendar page calculations are identical for the most part, allowing for the difference in meridian between Hartford and New Haven. "Stafford" includes Strong's characteristic page entitled "Variation of sun and clock."
Advertised in the Connecticut journal, New Haven, Nov. 2, 1791.
