Notes:

Hutchins died in 1782, and the calculator of the present almanac was Abraham Shoemaker. The calculations and astronomical notes are identical throughout with those in the "Astronomical calculations" by Shoemaker for 1805 in Longworth's American Almanac, New York Register, and City Directory for 1804-5, p. [13-18], and Jones's New-York Mercantile and General Directory for 1805-6, by John F. Jones, p. [19-24], except that "Hutchins" omits a few categories of calculations found in these almanacs, adds a column for the sun's declination not in Jones, and abbreviates the times for the moon's quarters.

The Anatomy is the only illustration.
