The calculator was John Tobler, apparently with revisions by a later hand. The calculations on the calendar pages duplicate those in his Pennsylvania town and country-man's almanack for 1772 (Wilmington). The astronomical notes on these pages are also Tobler's, with some additions and omissions. A column for the moon's age replaces that for tides
,
The calendar pages and other astronomical matter are printed from the same setting of type as that used in Poor Robin's almanack for 1772, also published by Evitt
,
The pseudonym Andrew Aguecheek is taken from the character in Shakespeare's Twelfth night
,
Though the Tobler almanacs issued after his death in 1765 have been attributed to his son John, the publisher's preface to the South Carolina and Georgia almanack for 1765 (Savannah) states that Tobler's calculations had then been completed up to 1800. The later almanacs contain indication that Tobler Junior is the author
