NOTES TO THE READER. 
The Calendar page in this Almanac is adapted for use 
in every part of the United States. It is based on the 
fact, that in the same Latitude , that is , on a line run¬ 
ning due east and west , the Sun and Moon rise and set 
at the same moment by the clock or almanac , not only 
throughout the United States, but around the world— 
the variations being so small as to he of no importance 
for ordinary purposes. Thus, if on any day the Sun 
rises at Boston at 5 minutes past 6, it rises at 5 minutes 
past 6 on the same line of latitude westward throughout 
the states of Massachusetts, New York, Michigan, Iowa, 
and the territory of Oregon. 
Hence, a Calendar adapted to Boston for New Eng¬ 
land, is equally adapted, as to the rising and Setting of 
the Sun and Moon, for use in Northern New York and 
Michigan; a Calendar for New York city is adapted for 
use in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Il¬ 
linois ; a Calendar for Baltimore is adapted for Virginia, 
Kentucky, and Missouri; and a Calendar for Charleston 
will answer for North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, 
Alabama, and Louisiana. Wherever the reader is, look 
for the state at the top of the Calendar page, and un¬ 
derneath are the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon, 
sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes. 
The changes , fulls, and quarters of the Moon, how¬ 
ever, are governed by another.principle, and are essen¬ 
tially the same for all places on the same Longitude; 
that is, on any line extending due north and south. Thus 
the Moon’s phases for Charleston, suit Pittsburgh, etc. 
Any pliasis takes place at the same instant of absolute 
time; but the local time is earlier at the westward, and 
later at the eastward, at the rate of four minutes for 
each degree of Longitude ; or at the rate of one minute 
for every 12 miles 273 rods in the latitude of Boston; 
13 miles 60 rods in the latitude of New York city; 13 
miles 143 rods in the latitude of Baltimore; and 14 miles 
199 rods in the latitude of Charleston.
