Notes:

Hutchins died in 1782, and the calculator of the present almanac was Abraham Shoemaker. The ephemeris calculations and nearly all the astronomical notes on the calendar pages of his New Jersey and Pennsylvania Almanac for 1804 (Trenton) are duplicated here. The times predicted in the notes, and those in the columns for the sun and moon, differ for the most part from the New Jersey almanac because of the difference in meridian. The columns for the tides and the moon's southing are omitted in "Hutchins," and one is added for the sun's declination. The ephemeris is on page [3] rather than distributed through the calendar pages.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
