Notes:

Hutchins died in 1782, and the calculator of the present almanac was Abraham Shoemaker. The ephemeris calculations and the eclipse predictions duplicate those in his New Jersey and Pennsylvania Almanac for 1803 (Trenton). The astronomical notes on the calendar pages parallel those in that almanac. Some of their times differ slightly, as do most of the calculations for the sun and moon, because of the difference in meridian. Notes are added on the moon's latitude, the sun's declination, and the clock equation. Half of the New Jersey calendar page columns are omitted. The ephemeris is on page [3] rather than distributed through the calendar pages.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
