Notes:

The title pages of Strong's almanacs for 1806 and 1807 published at New Haven identify Strong as the author of those formerly issued under the pseudonym of Hosea Stafford.

The author's preface, the eclipse predictions, and the calculations and astronomical notes on the calendar pages, are all identical or practically so with those in Strong's The Connecticut pocket almanack for 1801 (Hartford). As usual, "Stafford" also includes Strong's characteristic page entitled "Variation of sun and clock."

Advertised in the Connecticut journal, New Haven, Nov. 6, 1800.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
