- Notes:
-
- Hutchins died in 1782, and the present calculator is Andrew Beers. The ephemeris calculations on the calendar pages, and most of the astronomical and horological notes there, are identical with those in Loudon's almanack for 1785, by Beers.
- Beers states in his preface to Beers's town and country almanack and ephemeris for 1805 (New York): "The author ... formerly made the calculations for Hutchins' almanack, published by Mr. Gaine ... under a fictitious signature."
- Advertised in the New York morning post, Dec. 24, 1784.
- The Anatomy is the only illustration.
