Notes:

Hutchins died in 1782, and the calculator of the present almanac is Andrew Beers. The calculations in the ephemeris and for the moon's rising and setting are identical (except for a few misprints in January) with those in his Beers's almanac and ephemeris for 1795, published at Hartford. The other columns of calculations vary to a degree reflecting the difference in meridian between Hartford and New York. Most of the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages of Beers are repeated in Hutchins, with some slight differences in the times given.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
