Where can I find tables listing phases of the moon in 1859?
I realize it might depend upon the location also--I need this for the New York City/North Jersey area for the autumn of 1859. Thanks. I've googled but I'm not finding what I want.

Here is a table of the moon's phases for 1859: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/aa_moonphases.pl?y...
Subtract 5 hours to convert to local time in New York.
Edit:
Since time zones weren't introduced in the U.S.A. until 1883, the time in New York would have been local mean time, so at longitude 74º west, the time difference might have been a few minutes short of exactly 5 hours.
