Notes:

This issue is identical in typography and contents with another whose imprint reads "Printed and sold by Peter Stewart." Stewart was the actual printer of this as well as the issues for subsequent years, on which his name appears; the Rices were not printers but booksellers. The cut of the Anatomy is that used in the later issues.

Calculated by Joshua Sharp. All the calculations on the calendar pages, as well as the eclipse predictions, are identical with those in Father Tammany's almanac for 1802 (Philadelphia), which bears Sharp's name on the title page. The astronomical notes on the calendar pages are also identical, with a few additions. Issues from 1806 name Sharp as their calculator.

Illustrated title page. The Anatomy is the only other illustration.
