Notes:

Attributed by Evans to William Andrews, the pseudonym which appeared on the title page of the first three issues.

Calculated by David Rittenhouse. The calculations and most of the astronomical notes on the calendar pages are identical with those in Father Abraham's almanack for 1777 (Philadelphia), calculated by Rittenhouse. Some notes have been omitted and others added, and the column of tides has been replaced by one for the moon's age. The eclipse predictions (p. [2]) are also duplicated.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
