To our friends and patrons of '97 we give a hearty greeting at the opening of the New Year, and also sincere thanks for their favors to our correspondents. The Almanac is computed in Standard Time (i. e., the Time of the 75th meridian west from Greenwich), 16m. behind Boston local time. "It is by our works and not by our words we would be judged these we hope will sustain us in the humble though proud station have so long held. . . . we Atore @ Promas." The Calculations are made in Standard Time for the longitude and latitude of Boston, and for general purposes are sufficiently accurate for all parts of New England. If, however, greater accuracy is desired, the following precepts can be regarded. The correction for Full Sea can be obtained from the Tide Table in p. 38. The other corrections can be obtained from the Table given below which contains corrections for the principal cities of the New England States; and any other place in New England can use the correction of the place in the Table which is nearest in longitude to itself. For Sun Fast, subtract tabular quantity if longitude from Boston is West, but add it if East. For Moon Souths add tabular quantity if longitude is West, but subtract it if East. For the Rising and Setting of the Sun, Moon, and Planets add tabular quantity if longitude from Boston is West, but subtract if East, and this will give the correct value when the place is in or near the same latitude as Boston. When the place differs considerably in latitude from that of Boston, the correction will also right when the celestial body is on or near the equator, and when it is remote from the equator this corrected result will still be approximately right.
