Notes:

"Abraham Hutchins" is a pseudonym intended to exploit the popular reputation of the New York state calculator John Nathan Hutchins.

Andrew Beers is shown to be the actual calculator by the virtual identity of the extensive astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages, and of the wording of the eclipse predictions, with those in his Beers's almanack and ephemeris for 1791, published at Hartford. The calculations in the ephemeris are also identical throughout. Those in the calendar and eclipse pages vary slightly for the most part, reflecting the difference in meridian between Hartford and New York.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
