Notes:

Spine title: Register 1808.

Pages [2-14] contain the almanac. The calendar pages are a shorter but otherwise identical version of those in The Farmer's almanack for 1808, by Robert B. Thomas (also published by John West) (Shaw & Shoemaker 12538). But the eclipse predictions bear no resemblance to Thomas's, and instead replicate those in Poor Richard's Franklin almanac for 1808, by "an inhabitant of Boston" (Shaw & Shoemaker 13413). Poor Richard's was printed by Manning & Loring.

Advertised in the Columbian centinel, Boston, Nov. 25, 1807.

Error in paging: p. 156 misnumbered 651.

Last page blank.

"A list of the streets, lanes, and alleys, in Boston."--p. [220]-227.

"Corrections and additions."--p. 228-229.

Index, p. [231]-233.

Error in imposition in gathering T: p. 229-230 transposed with p. 221-222.
