Isaac Ambrose baptized 1604-died 1664 was a Church of England clergyman and ejected minister and author "His Prima media & ultima first edition - 1650 while beginning with a call to new birth and ending with reflections on death and judgement that read like a collection of sermons is largely concerned with the 'middle things' - the means 'for continuance and increase of a Godly life.' These include a commitment to systematic meditation which is reinforced by a few illustrations from his own diary kept during his annual monthly retreat in May in the woods near Hoghton Tower. Ambrose's works were highly regarded at the time and continued to be reprinted after his death appearing in Wesley's Christian Library. Alongside Ambrose's unwavering doctrinal Calvinism is a personal warmth that seems to have attracted both gentry and people as well as his fellow ministers." - Oxford DNB. ESTC T223079. Lowndes 35.

178145<p>Prvidence RI: John Carter 1781. First edition . No Binding. Good. Providence: John Carter 1781. First edition. Good. 24pp COMPLETE. Stitched. Chipping to outer edges with tears to outer edge of pp5 and 6 with minor loss. "Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs. Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West the actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The similarities in the eclipse predictions and the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages between the present issue and The New England almanack and gentleman's and lady's diary for 1782 New London calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter indicate a common authorship. Most of the calculations vary to a degree reflecting the difference in the meridian between New London and Providence. West and Carter the publisher severed relations with the 1781 issue. West's almanac was published thereafter at Providence by Bennett Wheeler as the North American calendar while Carter continued the New England almanack over the Bickerstaff pseudonym with which West is often identified.
